Please join me as I walk you through our shop and provide a brief history of our manufacturing facility.
|

|
In August 1993, after 37 years of working in the canvas business, my Dad's dream of owning his own shop was realized with the opening of Davis Tent and Awning in Englewood, Colorado.
I (his son, Roy) started working with him at the same time.
|
|
Within five years, we had outgrown our original 5,000 square foot building and started construction of our current 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Denver. It was at this time that Rick (my brother) joined the company.

|
With the extra space we were able to expand our shoowroom and display some of the mounts we have collected over the years.
|
|
Our large cutting table is 6' wide and 48' long. This is where the production of our tents (and most all of our projects) start.
|
 |
|

|
From there, they are off to one or more of our many specilized sewing machines. We have over 30 sewing machines that we use all the time on our production line (and we have at least 50 machines "in reserve" for the out of the norm projects).
|
|
After being sewn and grommeted, completed items go to our small cutting table (5' x 40') for quality control. After they pass quality inspection, we fold them and put them on the shelf or ship them off to our customers all over the world.

Any accompaying poles are made right here in our metal shop.

This is the exterior of our shop as of December 2005.
