Wall-Mounted Fiberglass AwningsCNC-Precision Braces. Prewired LED Lighting. Zero Maintenance.
A Baldwin entry awning is a wall-mounted pergola structure designed to fill the space above a doorway or garage with architectural presence and permanent quality. Built from the same pultruded fiberglass as our full pergolas, every awning is rot-proof, insect-proof, and dimensionally stable — finished in Benjamin Moore paint to any color you specify.
Structural Brace System: Each awning is supported by two CNC-machined fiberglass braces. Each brace consists of a flat 2×8 wall plate, an arched diagonal support member, and two 2×8 horizontal beams projecting perpendicular from the wall to carry the rafters. No steel hardware exposed to the elements. No rot. No maintenance.
Integrated Lighting: We prewire every awning with your choice of lighting. Our factory standard includes two 4" cylindrical exterior downlights with a dusk-to-dawn switch wired into the top of the brace assembly. All wiring runs inside the hollow fiberglass pultrusions — completely concealed from view.
Mounted above our own factory's steel entry door — this is the product in its real-world setting, against painted block. Two structural braces, three cove-cut rafters, and two prewired downlights.
Every rafter tail is CNC-machined with a cove cut profile — a detail that sets our awnings apart from flat-cut alternatives and gives each installation a finished, architectural look.
The two structural braces project real depth from the wall, creating genuine shade over the entry and an architectural presence that transforms an ordinary doorway into a featured element.
Looking straight up: two 4" white cylindrical exterior fixtures are evenly spaced across the brace assembly. A dusk-to-dawn switch is factory-wired into the top of the brace. All wiring runs inside the hollow pultrusions — nothing exposed.
At dusk, the switch activates automatically. Our 2700K LED bulbs deliver a warm, welcoming golden light that pools beneath the awning — the kind of entry that makes a lasting first impression.
A completed brace on the factory floor. The arched diagonal support, wall plate, and twin 2×8 horizontal beams are all CNC-machined from solid pultruded fiberglass — a system built for permanence.
Every awning ships as a precision kit with labeled parts and complete hardware. Our prewiring means your electrician only needs to make the final connection at the breaker — no field wiring inside the structure.
Every brace is hand-assembled at the factory before shipping. Scott is fitting the arched diagonal support into the wall plate — precision CNC notching ensures a perfect mechanical interlock, no guesswork required.
A can light is wired at the factory before the brace ships. All conductors run inside the hollow fiberglass pultrusions. By the time the kit arrives at your site, the wiring is done — your electrician just completes the final connection.
Both braces are bolted to the wall plate and plumbed level before the beams are dropped in. At this stage you can see the structural grid taking shape — clean, confident, and rock-solid.
Side profile: the arched diagonal support member is clearly visible, carrying the load from the projecting 2×8 beams back to the 2×8 flat wall plate. Two braces, two beams — a system designed to span any standard entry width.
Three rafters now span the two braces. The structural frame is complete and prefinished. From here it's only a matter of adding the lighting lead — the hard work is already done at the factory.
Tom PetrelliThe pergola is up and looks great. You made this task so easy, we really reaped the benefit of your experience. I will send you a photo. Thanks for all your help.
John MitchellThe finished pergola is stunning. We've already received many complements.
Pat D'AuriaHi Chris, We love the pergola and all our neighbors think it is great. The Baims next door are seriously considering doing one next year. Thanks so much for all your help. Pat
Duane DottaWe are extremely pleased. If there is any picture that I haven't taken and you need one a special way, Don't hesitate to call or write. Max made everything easy for us, make sure he sees these pictures.
Robert Macri, Malvern, PAI thought you would appreciate seeing our Adirondack Chairs next to our new Rockers. The Adirondack Chairs have been poolside for 12+ years through rain, snow and all elements. I'm happy to report that they are as comfortable and sturdy today as they were when we first purchased them. The rockers are a great addition and I'm sure will standup just as well as the years pass. Thanks for making a solid and well constructed product. Regards
LisaHi Matt I just wanted to tell you how happy we are with the pavilion. The installers you sent today were wonderful. They did a fantastic job. It truly looks amazing! It's exactly what we wanted and we are so impressed with the quality of the structure. Thank you for the attention you gave to our project. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you.
Douglas RoseFinished pergola is beautiful. Neighbors have commented very positively. View of yard from inside the pergola is difficult to describe. Can 'look through' the pergola lattices, but also 'look' out the 'windows' onto the garden. Very three-dimensional experience. One neighbor said that if he lived in our house, he would sit and read every day in the pergola.
Lou and Barbara RicciMax, the pergola went up in a snap and we are very happy with it. We've recieved many complements already!
Lyra V.We couldn't be happier. My wisteria is going up the columns, and its just stunning. We removed the trees and its just stunning. Thank you so much for all your time and hard work. Sincerely,
Kelly SpencerThe pergola looks beautiful and is getting rave reviews. It took about 7 hours to erect with 2 fairly good hands to help me. Thanks Max, I think I will have more work for you in the future.
