Custom Metal Awnings for Cle Elum Homes and Businesses
The demand for custom metal awnings in the Cle Elum area comes from two distinct groups. The first is vacation and second home owners at Suncadia Resort and in the surrounding residential areas, who need covered entries and outdoor structures that function when the home is unoccupied in winter and add to the outdoor living experience in summer and fall. The second is local and regional businesses in downtown Cle Elum and along Highway 970, where storefront weather protection is a practical necessity year-round.
Both groups need something that holds up to mountain conditions without requiring active management. A metal awning with proper pitch and correct snow load engineering fits both situations. Fabric does not, particularly on vacation properties where nobody is there to clear accumulation after a heavy storm.
Full Metal Awnings
Full Metal Awnings in Cle Elum, WA
A full aluminum awning in the Cle Elum area has one primary job that it does not share with a Puget Sound installation: it needs to shed snow reliably without structural assistance. The pitch we use for mountain awnings is steeper than what we would specify for a rain-shedding application on the west side of the Cascades, and the frame members are sized for the corresponding snow load rather than wind and rain alone.
For vacation homes at Suncadia and in the residential neighborhoods around Cle Elum, a well-pitched full metal awning over the front entry solves a specific practical problem: snow piles up on flat surfaces and eventually forces its way into door thresholds. A covered entry with the right pitch directs that accumulation away from the door and keeps the threshold clear through the winter. That is useful regardless of whether the home is occupied.

Metal and Plexiglass Awnings
Metal Awnings with Plexiglass in Cle Elum, WA
Covered outdoor living structures at Suncadia and in the surrounding mountain communities serve a different seasonal purpose than they do on the west side of the Cascades. Spring through fall in Cle Elum is significantly drier and sunnier than the Puget Sound. A covered patio or deck structure with polycarbonate panels extends the outdoor season on both ends: spring shoulder season when afternoon showers are short and predictable, and into October when the evenings get cold but the afternoons are still worth sitting outside.
For mountain applications, we specify polycarbonate over glass on any structure that will carry snow load. Glass at a snow-carrying pitch and span requires structural members heavy enough that the frame starts to dominate the space. Polycarbonate at the same span weighs considerably less, which keeps the frame proportion appropriate for a residential outdoor living structure.

Local Experts
Cle Elum Area Communities We Serve
The Cle Elum area is compact but varied. Downtown Cle Elum has a historic commercial strip on First Street that has grown its restaurant and retail presence as Suncadia has brought more visitors and residents to the valley. Those businesses need weather protection built for a mountain climate, not for a milder urban environment. The awning pitch, the material choices, and the structural sizing are all different here than they would be for the same type of storefront in Bellevue or Kirkland.
Roslyn, about three miles northwest of Cle Elum, has a distinct historic character with older commercial buildings that require thoughtful material choices to complement the existing streetscape. Suncadia Resort and the residential communities that have grown up around it represent a different market entirely: higher-end vacation properties, many with significant outdoor living areas, where the awning is part of a designed outdoor space rather than a practical afterthought.
