Frontier fixed architectural canopy over a building entrance

Fixed architectural canopy

Frontier

Permanent, welded, architectural — cover that stays up all year.

Frontier

Who the Frontier is for

The Frontier is the fixed canopy: entrances, windows, walkways and building exteriors that need permanent cover and a clean architectural edge. It is welded rather than bolted together, which means fewer exposed fasteners on the wall and a cleaner install — and there is nothing to retract, motorize or take down for winter.

  • Front entrances and lobbies
  • Storefronts and walkways
  • Window and door cover
  • Owners who want zero maintenance

Why homeowners choose it

What the Frontier does for your home

01

Welded, not bolted

A welded assembly means fewer exposed fasteners, a cleaner finished look, and a simpler installation than a bolt-together canopy.

02

Specified to your building

Size, color, finish, decking, profile, drainage and mounting are all chosen per project — so it matches the building rather than the catalog.

03

Nothing to operate

No motor, no fabric to retract, no seasonal routine. The low-maintenance choice for a front entry, a walkway or a row of windows.

    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.

    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.
