Barrie Tent & Awning was established in Barrie, Ontario, in 1945. It was owned and operated by Bill Clark and his wife, Margaret, until 1984, when it was purchased by Bill and Gail O'Brien following the death of Bill Clark in 1983. It was situated at 38 Bayfield Street until 1985, when we moved to our current location at 10 Hamilton Rd.
There have been many changes in the industry in the past 20 years. In 2009, Barrie Tent & Awning lost Bill O'Brien suddenly, and his wife Gail and daughter Lori carried on in his memory. In 2010 and 2011, they also lost long-time employees John Jordan and Wayne West. In 2013, son David came back to Barrie Tent & Awning to help Gail and Lori guide the company into the future.

We recently moved into a home and had awnings without a remote. I contacted them and within days of the call and daily communication with David, we have awnings that are now programmed to our existing indoor blind remote! The installers that came to the house were awesome too! It's really great to be in a new area where the service is timely and the people are so nice. Thank you again.

I contacted Barrie Tent & Awning about a problem with my residential awning (June 17, 2020). As the awning was made by a company that was now closed, they couldn't guarantee that they could fix it but would speak with their installers to see what they could do. The installers came to the house within 2 days and were able to fix the awning!!! And for just the cost of a service call. AWESOME!! I am so impressed with the service provided by Barrie Tent & Awning Team. Would definitely call them again and highly recommend them.

One of the most pleasant customer service places, i've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I'm so pleased with the quality of workmanship. This company's well worth checking out. They've repaired my tent trailer canvas, restitched my seams, rebuilt my awning bag. I have a new to me larger trailer, they now have my awning for repair.
I recommend them highly!!
Pricing is awesome 👌
Rates are very reasonable..

Very responsive with respect to our quotation. We accepted and arranged an installation date. The guys arrived on time. Unfortunately the fabric was not wide enough. The guys apologized and indicated they would get it looked after. Another installation appointment was booked and once again the guys arrived in a timely manner and did an excellent job of completing the installation. Although there was a problem on the original installation, it was resolved in a professional manner. I would certainly recommend this company to anyone with an awning requirement.

Very poor service. I left my pontoon cover to get repaired. They mentioned they would contact me with an estimate before any work was done. I waited a week and a half before calling to ask for the estimate. I was told they would call me back within 2 minutes. After an hour, I called again and was met with a very rude response that it was lunch time and hung up on me. I called back and the owners response was that she would talk to the worker and who did i want to talk to now. No apology or care. I now need to pick up my cover that still has not been repaired.
