Signature Awnings
Seven lines, one crew. Big motorized shade with no posts and no poles, screens that keep the bugs out, and fixed canopies built to last — every one built to your exact opening and installed by us.
The lineup
Ordered from open arm to half cassette to full cassette, then the commercial, screen and fixed lines. Where a figure reads “Ask us at your estimate” it means exactly that — we will measure and tell you, rather than have you assume.

Choosing between them
The Legend is an open lateral-arm retractable — the arms and roller are visible when it is closed, and it suits decks and patios that want big, flexible shade. The Salute is a full-cassette model: when it retracts, the fabric and hardware fold up inside a protective housing, which keeps the fabric cleaner and gives a sleeker closed look.
If the awning will sit closed for long stretches, yes. The cassette shields the fabric and hardware from rain, grit, and UV when it is retracted, which is the main thing that ages an awning that is not in use. The Salute also mounts to a wall, a soffit, or a roof. The Valor, when it arrives, is the half-cassette middle ground.
Every Salute comes motorized. The Legend and Liberty are available with Somfy motorization: Altus RTS motors with Telis remotes. Manual override is available so a power cut does not leave the awning stuck out.
A retractable awning should not be left out in a storm. The Somfy Eolis 3D wind sensor handles that for you: it detects movement in the awning itself and retracts it automatically once the wind passes the threshold, without you being home.
Yes, with the Somfy TaHoma app, which also brings in Alexa and Google voice control. You can open and close it remotely and set schedules.
Retractables can stay up, retracted, through winter. If you would rather have it off the building, we offer seasonal take-down and re-hang — we pull it in the autumn, store it, and put it back in spring. The Frontier and The Metal Look are fixed canopies and stay up year-round by design.
The Legend is custom-built to your opening. The Salute runs up to 20 feet wide, with projections to 11 feet 9 inches — the Legend offers projections from 6 feet 11 inches up to 13 feet 5 inches, and the Liberty, our commercial retractable, projects up to 13 feet 6 inches. Freedom screens run up to 17 feet wide and 10 feet long.
Yes. The Freedom is a retractable screen and sidewall system that mounts to the opening itself — a porch, a patio, a balcony or a breezeway — and is sized to it at the estimate. It is its own system, not an attachment to an awning.
From the people who own one
We absolutely love our new awning. It is going to allow us to enjoy our back deck on sunny days as it isn’t shaded at all until early evening. It looks beautiful and so easy to operate with the remote control. Manchester Awning was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional sales representative who wasn’t pushy at all, excellent installation team and LuAnn at the front desk is not only personable but informative as well. I highly recommend this company.
Five star service from Jeff and Manchester Awning. Jeff offered many suggestions and was mindful of the budget I set… The end result is absolutely perfect.
We purchased an awning from Manchester Awning more than 20 years ago and it is still holding up very well. This month we brought it in for a much overdue cleaning and minor seam repair. They did an excellent job and delivered it to us… and even offered to put it up. Would recommend them very highly. 5+ stars.
Excellent communication and follow through. Quickly received a quote and I received a follow up call seeing if I had any questions. Once decision was made and fabric was selected, the install occurred in about two weeks. Great service and responsiveness.
Efficient, timely, informative, friendly… and the pattern choices were amazing. We now have another room to enjoy for months.
Incredibly professional and knowledgeable — they helped me choose the perfect awning for my home. The installation was smooth and efficient, and the quality of the awning itself is top-notch. I highly recommend Manchester Awning.
We had a beautiful awning installed this past late fall… Customer service is second to none. The front desk, installers and owner were all considerate and client forward. We’re getting lots of compliments on the awning.
I have been using Manchester Awning for many years and love the personal service I receive from them… Jeff and his team want to make a difference and it shows.
Honest salesman, great installers, a no hassle experience… Much appreciated.
It was a pleasure doing business with Manchester Awning. Their prices are competitive and their service from start to finish was prompt and courteous. I would highly recommend Manchester Awning.
