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.
Joe HollandThe Pergola is GREAT! What a difference it makes to the house ... inside and out. The height (for this sized Pergola) seems like it is matched up perfectly. The effect is a room outside the house. Let's see how many 'Wow's' we get Friday night. You should have left some of your business cards. My daughter (Sarah) loved the butterfly joint!
Kevin ToomeyHi Max, The pavilion is looking excellent. We're really happy with our choice and your guys have worked very hard to get things just right. Thanks
Charlotte LambertoMax, Thought you'd like to see the finished product. We are extremely pleased with our new pergola, and enjoy it almost every evening. Thank you, and have yourself a great rest of the summer!
Michael DivittoNothing but rave reviews on the pergola. You really out did yourself.
Nathan MrozThe pergola looks great!
Tim, Cathy, and Elizabeth.The Pergola looks wonderful! The arches came out great. This is exactly what we were looking for. We spent most of the day yesterday putting it together and finished late afternoon. It went together smoothly and everyone helped. We had fun setting it up. Thanks for spending the day with us and working with us through all of this. We love it!
Dan HarmonMax - i'm forwarding you some pics of the assembled pergola for (address). I am very pleased with how it came out, and all of the friends and neighbors who have seen it have given it rave reviews.
Pat D'AuriaWe have gotten lots of compliments for our pergola and we love it.
Joseph and Kathleen MulcahyThe pergola looks great, dont you think. I'm really glad everything worked out so well and appreciate that you worked so hard to deliver on time. The system installed well, it took only 7 hours working alone. And, my customer is pleased.
James ShawThe pergola arrived safely, heck of a box you guys made. I fabricated the roof mounts, got the ledger installed, installed the columns and support beam - and wouldn't you know it... The rafters fit perfectly! I'd say it's a great success. 100% level and square - but took a lot of measuring. Thanks again! I'll send you guys some pics when I finish up and have the lights and fans installed. Just wanted to thank you for a heck of a product, I am very pleased.
