Nelson A. Taylor, founder of Taylor Made Awnings Custom Products Residential, Commercial and Retractable Awning established his business in 1908. They offer patio, door, and window awnings in the widest variety of Sunbrella fabrics. They also have a variety of colors, models, and sizes. Customers can design their awnings the way they want and imagine it to be. Some of their featured products include the following:

  • Taylor Made Retractable Awnings add shade and screen protection on the roof and deck from harmful solar rays without permanently altering a structure or building obstructive support poles. They are easy to install, too.
  • Taylor Made Commercial Awnings add finishing touches to business ads and graphic designs. They can also be customized as a RV awning on roll up.
  • Taylor Made Residential awnings are claimed by the manufacturer to be operational and energy efficient. They aim to improve the exterior of any home by blocking the direct sunlight coming into homes without trapping the air beneath. 

Buyers can customize their awning as manual or electric-powered/motorized in terms of operation. It can also be freestanding or attached to a wall. Other customization and specifications can be handled by their team, too.

The company is available online through their official website. Customers can search and browse their products for comparison and further information about their awnings needs.

We moved into our home last fall and didn’t realize how much sun our back patio got until this spring. We either needed a retractable pergola or a retractable awning. My pocketbook said retractable awning. We ordered a manual 19’’ wide by 10’ long Taylor Made Awning. I’d read some reviews, and watched some installation posts. I’m glad I had some buddies over to assist with the install; I needed all the help I could get with the instructions. It’s presently working, but we’re careful to retract it when it’s not in use. I don’t trust it even in a gentle wind as the frame looks to be very thin and weak. I’ll post more at the end of the season if I remember.

I bought my 14’x10’ Taylor Made Awning at the start of the season. I wanted it up and ready before the heat came. The price was higher than others I’d looked at, but it had the color I wanted, add in the shipping, and I almost didn’t get it. The instructions were just OK, couldn’t get the video link to work though. I did watch several others which made it easier. The powder-coated aluminum is light-weight, and the install took the better part of a day. I went with the standard manual model so I wouldn’t need an outlet. The sand color fabric and valance makes the patio usable and keeps the sun out of the house. I’ll add more at the end of the season.

I got an 18’x10’ motorized awning from Taylor Made Awnings. The installation was ok, took longer than planned. The instructions are wordy and need more diagrams. It covers my sidewalk bistro tables and blocks some of the sun into may café. Operates with a wall switch, we misplaced the small remote in the first week. The motor is a bit slow and noisy but does appear to do the job. I also got the wind sensor so I wouldn’t have to worry. It’s a bit touchy, so I took it off. The aluminum frame and mounting brackets seem light-weight; I’m hoping they survive daily use. The birds like to sit on the protective aluminum hood, which makes a mess.

I purchased three fabric window awnings from Taylor Made Awnings for the upper windows of my house. I was able to get the sizes I wanted (even though they only offer standard sizes), and the color choices were adequate. The instructions could be much improved. The metal hardware and steel rods seem durable. I hope nothing rusts. For the cost, I’m hoping they’re galvanized so if they do corrode, the corrosion takes longer to occur. Installation took longer and required two people on tall ladders. There are wrinkles in the fabric, which are supposed to come out over time, I’m still waiting and it’s been 9 months so I think I am stuck with the wrinkles. The head rod clamps are exposed to the weather; I’m hoping they don’t continue to fail or release in the strong winds we sometimes get.
