A brief history of the awning
Denver Tent Company has been making awnings since 1890, but we were certainly not the first. The awning itself dates all the way back to the ancient Egyptians. Back then they weren’t just called “woven matts” that would protect market stalls and homes. But, perhaps the most historically notable awning was the velarium (“curtain”) seen in Roman times. This was a massive and complex structure that was created to provide shade to all the spectators in the Colosseum, although, the most important function of the velarium was to create a nice updraft and a nice cool breeze when attending events at the Colosseum.

Protect your business and your home with a quality awning or canopy
Today, business and home owners across the globe use retractable awnings to help control the weather and protect their home or business. If you need an awning to cover outdoor seating, studies have shown that an awning or canopy can make it about 20 degrees cooler, and that’s not just for those who are seated outside. Awnings and canopies prevent the sun from shining directly through your windows, keeping the temperature cooler inside as well. This is great for you, your family, your employees, your customers, and your furniture, as continued sunlight will quickly fade carpet and other fabrics in your store or home.
