Sails are built to take wind. So is our shade. We make fabric shade for Austin's outdoor builders as the shade arm of Bartlett Sails & Canvas, sailmakers since 1984.
Shade sails, Roman shades, and motorized systems for outdoor builders. One named rep, specs the same week, and we stay in our lane.

Bartlett Sails & Canvas has been Austin's marine canvas and sailmaking shop since 1984: sails, boat covers, protective covers. Shade was always part of the work, just never the focus.
It is now. We cut shade the way we cut sails, for the builders and venues who need it to work in August.

We added a canopy for shade to the front of our restaurant and it is perfect! The process was smooth and they had exactly what we were looking for. I would definitely use this company again for future projects!

First time working with CanopyWorx and will be working with them again! The team is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Communication was clear, they followed through on what they said they would do, and the quality of the work was excellent.

We took one of CanopyWorx's portable shade tents to an event we hosted at Auditorium Shores, where there is no shade at all. We carried it out to the middle of the field in a bag and had it inflated and anchored in about five minutes. It transformed the event into a sanctuary where our party could mix and mingle comfortably right downtown.

We start on site. Not to measure, to understand how the space gets used, and what you want from it.
Sun exposure and heat gain, mapped across the day and the seasons, with AR tools.
We architect the system to the building: attachment points, structure, and build process.
Sails and Roman shades sewn in our Austin shop. Installed and tensioned by our crew.
The install isn't the last time you hear from us. 6-month follow-up, and a direct line when you need one.
