Semi-Trailer Awnings & Canopies built for the big rigs.
Custom fixed-frame awnings for 48 and 53 ft semi-trailers and race transporters — sectioned spans, height-matched brackets, and mounting engineered for tall smooth-side walls. Built in-house in Little Falls, MN and shipped nationwide.
48 & 53 footers get their own math.
Everything that's simple on a 20 ft bumper-pull gets engineered on a semi-trailer. Here's what changes.
- Tall walls, high mount line. Semi-trailer walls run well past a standard enclosed trailer's. We machine height-matched brackets so the awning mounts high and still hangs at crew working height — the same approach we use on tall and low trailers.
- Length no single span covers. The free-hanging span runs 12–14 ft per section, so a 48 or 53 ft wall gets a sectioned, multi-span layout planned as one build.
- Smooth-side mounting. Load-spreading billet brackets with proper backing, so every bolt pulls against structure — not just skin.
- Doors mapped in. Man doors, ramp doors, and side access get measured into the section layout so everything opens with the awning deployed.
- Same heavy build standard. Oversized 1.5″ × 2″ × .125″ wall aluminum A-frames, stainless hardware, one-piece zippers — on every section.
- Hospitality & vending frontage. A covered 53 ft side is prime space for hospitality and display & vendor setups.
Multiple spans, one wall.
A sectioned build isn’t three little awnings bolted near each other — it’s one layout, planned front to back, that reads as a continuous line of cover down the trailer.
- Sections planned as one build — spacing, bracket locations, and pitch laid out across the full wall before anything is cut.
- Free-hanging underneath. No legs or poles in the work or hospitality area, section after section.
- Cover what you use. Shade the pit end, the full side, or the vending frontage — the layout follows how you actually run the rig.
- Sidewalls available. Zip-in sidewalls & enclosures close off sections for weather or privacy.

Semi-trailer awning questions.
Can you build an awning for a 53 ft semi-trailer?+
Yes. 48 and 53 ft semi-trailers and race transporters are exactly the kind of build we section for — multiple spans along the wall so the whole working side is covered. Every frame is machined to your trailer’s wall height and door layout. Start a free quote with your trailer length.
How does an awning mount to a semi-trailer sidewall?+
Semi-trailer walls are tall and smooth-sided, so the mount has to spread load and pull against real structure. We use clear-anodized billet brackets with proper backing so the bolts bite structure rather than skin, and we height-match the brackets so the awning hangs at working height off a tall wall.
Can one awning cover the whole side of a semi trailer?+
The free-hanging span runs 12–14 ft per section, so a full 48 or 53 ft wall gets a sectioned, multi-span build. Done right, the sections read as one continuous awning down the side of the trailer — shade and cover for the entire pit, hospitality, or vending frontage.
Can you print graphics across a semi-trailer awning?+
Yes. A semi trailer’s side is the biggest billboard in the pits, and we print full-color sponsor graphics directly into the awning fabric on our in-house large-format printers — across every section, so the branding runs the length of the rig.
Do you ship semi-trailer awnings nationwide?+
We build in Little Falls, MN and ship nationwide. Sectioned builds ship like any other DMP awning — request a free quote with your trailer length and wall height and we’ll spec it.
