Since 1919, the absolute finest craftsmanship in the world.
Based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Camel Custom Canvas Shop began by making canvas covers for the U.S. Army immediately following WWI. Since then the business has expanded and been owned and operated by generations of descendants of B.A Bower the founder of Camel Canvas. Today, we are the top Woman Owned and Operated custom awning manufacture and supplier in the United States and the World.
Our staff has a combined experience of over 300+ years in design, fabrication and manufacturing — considerably more than any other awning fabricator in the U.S. and abroad!
Camel’s in-house, computer-aided design and engineering assures our clients that each custom-made product will meet specifications. So you can trust our design services team to help you comply with applicable building codes and zoning ordinances for your product.
