Nashville Tent & Awning Co. Trusted for over 140 years
Family-Owned
Custom Awnings, Tents and More! It was renamed Nashville Tent & Awning Co. by owner H.G.

In 1884, Southern Canvas, a small business specializing in the manufacture of tents, awnings, tarps and other canvas products was founded to serve Nashville and its surrounding areas. Husband and today continues to be owned/operated by the fourth generations of the Husband family! Over the years, Nashville Tent & Awning Co. has expanded to serve not only the Nashville area, but also customers on t

he East Coast, West Coast, as far north as Canada and as far south as the Caribbean. Our dedication to superior craftsmanship and the steadfast work ethic of our workers (many of whom have been with us for 10, 20, 30 and 40+ years and are like family) have kept the company going for over 140 years. Our customers are part of this family, too, and we hope to be serving those same customers and their families for many years to come.

What do we love about custom enclosures? Honestly? A lot.

Every patio works a little differently, so its enclosure should too. We design around your footprint, your day to day needs, and the experience you want to create.

That’s what custom means: your space never has to fit a standard solution. We create a solution that fits your space.

Cooler weather doesn’t have to mean closing off your outdoor space.

With the right enclosure, your porch, patio, or commercial outdoor area can stay more functional throughout the changing seasons. Custom Enclosures offer a finished, integrated solution designed to complement your property, while Seasonal Enclosures provide a flexible, custom-fit option that can be installed when you need added protection from cooler temperatures and changing weather.

Not sure which option is right for your space? Our experienced team will evaluate your home or business, discuss how you want to use the area, and recommend a solution that fits your needs and property.

A clearspan tent from a different perspective.

Set within a tight footprint, this structure transformed an open lawn into a substantial covered space while keeping the interior completely open and unobstructed.

It’s a great example of what clearspan structures do best: create maximum usable space without the need for interior poles or supports.

The Stitching Belle recently opened its doors in Sylvan Park, creating a new home for Nashville’s needlepoint community. From the oversized florals and stitching details across the exterior to the coral doors and windows, the storefront is full of personality.

For the entrance, a deep navy awning was the perfect finishing touch. The custom Stitching Belle monogram and address tie it back to the shop, making the awning feel like a natural part of the storefront.

It’s a great example of what we love about custom awnings: creating something that works with the space, complements the design, and feels completely at home on the building.

Say hello to our sailcloth tent.

There’s a reason sailcloth tents have become a timeless favorite for outdoor weddings. Their open, airy design creates a setting that’s both elegant and inviting, and this celebration was the perfect example.

More than 40,000 square feet of tenting came together to create this year’s Swan Ball, transforming an open field into an unforgettable evening.

From the first truckload on site to the final details in place, every part of the build required coordination, craftsmanship, and the dedication of an incredible crew working behind the scenes to bring it all together.

And just like that, we did it.
