Bartlett Sails & Canvas has been Austin's marine canvas and sailmaking shop since 1984: sails, boat covers, protective covers. Shade was always part of the work, just never the focus.
It is now. We cut shade the way we cut sails, for the builders and venues who need it to work in August.

We start on site. Not to measure, to understand how the space gets used, and what you want from it.
Sun exposure and heat gain, mapped across the day and the seasons, with AR tools.
We architect the system to the building: attachment points, structure, and build process.
Sails and Roman shades sewn in our Austin shop. Installed and tensioned by our crew.
The install isn't the last time you hear from us. 6-month follow-up, and a direct line when you need one.
