Awnings, Patio Covers And Custom Covers In Independence, Oregon
Salem Tent & Awning has been building awnings, patio covers, drop curtains and custom covers since 1890. We install them in Independence, about twenty minutes southwest. The riverfront downtown has picked up a lot of restaurant and tasting room patios, and those need drop curtains to stay open past September. We do plenty of residential awning work here as well.

What We Build For Independence
The riverfront downtown has picked up restaurant and tasting room patios, and drop curtains are what keep those open past September. Rope and pulley we build in the shop. Zipper track we bring in. We also do commercial awnings with the business name on it, residential awnings, patio covers and carports, retractable awnings and screens, aluminum awnings, custom covers for generators, welders, trucks and outdoor kitchens, and wall tents. Recovers and repairs too, including on awnings we did not build.

Twenty Minutes Southwest
We have been serving the Willamette Valley since 1890 and the shop is in Salem, about twenty minutes from Independence. The fabric is cut and sewn there and our own crew installs it. On a restaurant patio that matters, because the curtains get measured to the opening rather than ordered to the nearest stock width. Licensed for construction in Oregon.
A Patio That Closes In October Earns Half A Year
The math on a riverfront patio is straightforward. Uncovered it works from roughly June to September. Covered, with drop curtains that come down when the weather turns, it works most of the year. On a downtown table count that is not a small difference. The curtains are the part people leave off the first quote, and they are the part that decides whether the patio is open in November or holding stacked furniture.
