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.
Missy SiennaI thought I would share with you some of the photos I took tonight of the grape arbor! It looks beautiful--I almost hate to cover it with grapes!
Calvin and Elizabeth GoodrichChari, Thanks so much for working with us yesterday! My father dropped the chairs off to our home in Ri yesterday, and this morning we sat out there drinking our coffee discussing future home projects. Just wanted to share a photo of the chairs on our porch. While our porch is not quite completed, lattice, some garden work etc, the products we bought make our home that much nicer of a place to be and relax! Thanks again and have a happy Memorial Day!!
Jane Hastay and Peter WeissDear Baldwins, WE LOVE OUR NEW FURNITURE! It is so beautiful, comfortable and functional and it smells good too! We feel like we have a whole new outdoor room on our deck. Thank you for giving us a break on the delivery charges - the fellow who brought the furniture was a very nice young man. We're very happy with our choice. Sincerely,
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!
Nathan MrozThe pergola looks great!
Dennis HoslerI am putting in the patio with the dimension to fit the pergola on top. Thanks for your responses. You have good customer service. Your website looks great. Keep in touch with anything new or upcoming. God bless.
Bill SchlaepferMax I want to thank you for the promptness with which you handled this problem. The way you have handled this speaks volumes about the quaility of your company. I would not hesitate doing business with you again. Thanks again.
Jon ZHi Click, I mean Max! You were right, 7" falls exactly where we were hoping it would on the siding. No chganges necessary, You are the king of pergolas!
Terry CleavelandYou had asked me to send you some photos and I'm just getting around to it. Installation was smooth and we weren't missing any pieces. Good instructions. We love it. I installed rope lighting and it really pops at night.
Joe and Pat PifkoYou are wonderful! The pergola is spectacular, and we are thrilled. We promise to send pictures of wedding guests enjoying our new "outside room." Thanks again.
