My Husband and I have long had a dream of building a yurt (A round house with a canvas covering) to live in. When we had a chance to make this dream a reality, we decided to purchase as much local material for it as possible. We came to Advance Tent and Awning slightly naive but hopeful they could help us with the covering. This was the one thing we thought it was best left to professionals.
Ken Lowen met with us the first day we walked in the door. Jovial and enthusiastic about making a canvas covering, he told us all about one he and his company had constructed in the past. He assured us that

The Awning purchased from Advance Tent and Awning has so far exceeded expectations. Very good quality and the front angle adjustment makes the Awning that much better. Advance is not the cheapest option, but the extra cost as opposed to the big box store options makes it more than worthwhile
