Marine

Undercover Canvas supplies all types of canvas work associated with a boat. We manufacture sails, covers and canopies for boats of any size, provide marine upholstery, screens, bimini tops and carpet runners. From Superyachts to smaller boats we are able to perform repairs on sails of all sizes at our 3,000 square foot loft. We are also your best choice for supplying boat covers and canopies as we use the latest design technology to create fantastic covers that will protect you and your boat from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Residential

Undercover’s drop blinds, patio awnings, canvas covers, vinyl roofs and carports enable you to add extra custom designed weather-protected square footage to your home in a cost-effective way. These structures can add comfort, value and architectural interest to your home, while shielding it from UV exposure, wind and rain. To ensure that you receive the styling and aesthetics that you desire, we can meet with you to select the ideal fabric and provide a 3D CAD design that will enable you to envision the final product. We can also supply you with accessories such as umbrellas, barbecue covers and sun lounge cushions.

Commercial

Undercover awnings can be found in many restaurants, hotels and bars throughout Barbados. The acclaim for our work is due to our commitment towards innovation and structural designs that are not only stable and functional but also fit with the requirements and demands of your business. Our engineers work hand in hand with architects and designers to render state-of-the-art awnings for many of the top businesses in the Caribbean. We can produce a 3D CAD model for complete visualisation of your structure and awning. Feel free to contact us below to set up a consultation.

Where can you put an awning?

The location of an awning on a building may be above a window, a door, or over the area along a sidewalk. With the addition of columns, an awning becomes a canopy, which is able to extend further from a building, as in the case of an entrance to a hotel. Restaurants often use awnings broad enough to cover substantial outdoor areas for dining, parties, or receptions. In commercial buildings an awning is often painted with information including the name or contact information for the business, thus acting as a sign or billboard as well as providing shade, breaking strong winds and protecting from rain. Due to an awning being considered a removable structure, most people will choose an awning over a permanent structure due to town and country requirements.
