Question 8

When is the best time to install an awning in Washington?

Accepted Answer

In Washington, the peak season for awning installation is late spring through early fall (June–September), with year-round demand in the Puget Sound area. Waterproof pergola canopies are especially popular in western Washington — they extend the outdoor season well into the rainy months. Booking early ensures you get your preferred installation date before the season fills up.
