Pole and Rope Awning

We have decided on a Pole and Rope Awning and I like the Pacific Blue Fancy color fabric, my question is, has anyone used this color fabric from Sunbrella on their Pole and Rope Awning? and if so where did you have it made? Thanks in advance for all your help!

We had a pole & rope awning made several years ago by TCT&A Awnings. It appears they have changed their website since I had ours made - but if you give them a call, they may still make them. At the time, you could pick your Sunbrella from the entire line of colors - ours was the teal version of the "Blue Fancy". You could also pick your edge shape & trim and whether you wanted "fringe" or "no fringe".

Also, you can either order one from VTS (don't think they offer Sunbrella fabrics) or Marti's Awnings. Marti will use any Sunbrella fabric...

Good luck!

Shari

Thank you very much Shari, for the most valuable information. I did speak with Marti yesterday, and have decided to let her make our Awning.

One more for Marti. Craftmanship, quality, service all top shelf. Do'nt forget to ask about a sewn in gromit strip. Great for hanging lights, screens, ect. Also Marti's poles are well worth the $$$. Heavy duty, all aluminum, no rust!!
