What is the Staple-In System?

Staple-in is the revolutionionary fabric awning construction method that replaces needle & thread with STEEL STAPLES.

(hence the name, "Steel Stitch")

The awning frame is made of lightweight, square aluminum extrusions that have an open channel on one side, with a thin, aluminum webbing in the center.  The selected awning fabric is then cut to size, then STAPLED (with a pneumatic stapler) directly to the  aluminum channel inside the extrusion.  Excess fabric is then trimmed, and a complimentary or contrasting PVC trim bead is driven into the channel, covering the staples.

This creates an incredibly TIGHT AWNING COVER
with LOTS of items in the "plus" column:

  • Drum-Tight fit eliminates fabric-against-frame wear
  • No sewn seams to rot and separate
  • No laces to show underneath awning
  • Panels can be replaced INDIVIDUALLY if damaged
  • No grommets
  • Aluminum frame doesn't rust like steel
  • Unlimited design freedom
  • More fabric options
  • Light-weight aluminum frames are easier to install
