Retractable awnings built in Tampa, for Tampa
Tampa is our hometown. 1800Awnings is headquartered at 4608 N Hale Ave, Tampa, FL 33614, where we build the Shademaker™ retractable awning series and ship Eastern Awning Systems' Sunflexx® and SunScape® as Eastern's National Master Dealer. When you buy a retractable awning from us, you're buying from a local manufacturer, not a franchise or a national call center.
Tampa patios take a beating: summer highs in the 90s, afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day from June through September, and hurricane seasons that have brought storms like Milton and Helene to the bay. A retractable awning gives you shade you can use every day and roll away when the weather turns. Retractable awnings start at about $3,064 (SunScape®) and $3,473 (Sunflexx®), with free shipping and financing from 0% APR.

Wind, permits and Tampa code
Design wind speeds around Tampa Bay generally run about 140–160 mph, far beyond what any fabric awning can take extended, so every awning we sell for Tampa should be retracted before storms. We strongly recommend a Somfy® wind sensor so the awning closes itself when a thunderstorm gust front arrives.
The City of Tampa requires a building permit for awnings (a 'Building Miscellaneous' permit with product approval documents and inspections). Unincorporated Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas have their own rules. Call us and we'll help you with the documents your jurisdiction asks for.
