American Canvas & Awning
American Awning, a family-owned business in the San Francisco Bay area for more than 100 years, designs, and installs commercial grade awnings and canopies (both retractable and fixed), fabric ceilings, and custom canvas shade structures and curtains. We use high quality commercial canopy and awning materials and provide our time-tested knowledge of proper awning and canopy design and construction techniques.

We offer experienced design. American Awning did more than the canopies at Marin Suites. When our president wanted an artistic, tent-like effect in our outdoor lobby to create a feeling of sanctuary, Tim McGill did a great job. The landlord at Pier 39 has rigorous quality standards, and American Canvas and Awning met and exceeded them with a full storefront of complicated awnings on a tight time table.

Very skilled and proficient crew and very competitive pricing. I had a great experience and I recommend them.

After working for F. Thoms Awning Company on Mission Street since 1900, Tim's great-grandfather FH (Fred) Behnke bought out Thoms in 1911 and founded American Tent and Awning Company, which was incorporated in 1916.
The company name was changed to American Canvas Products, Inc. in 1966.
The awning company eventually passed on to Behnke's son, grandsons, and great-grandson.
