Custom Trailer Awnings, built in Minnesota.

Every DMP awning is machined, sewn, and printed under one roof in Little Falls, MN — then shipped to racers nationwide. Minnesota-built since 1983, close enough to the pits at Brainerd to feel like a home shop.

We're not a catalog reseller drop-shipping awnings from somewhere you'll never see. DMP is a working fabrication shop in central Minnesota — the aluminum gets cut, the frames get welded, the fabric gets sewn, and the sponsor graphics get printed all in the same building on Haven Road. When you order a DMP awning, you're ordering something a Minnesota crew actually built.

01 — Built here

One shop in Little Falls.

Most awning orders get split across a metal shop, a print shop, and a sewing room in three different states. We do all of it in one Minnesota building — which is exactly why the finished awning fits the way it's supposed to.

  • In-house CNC machining. Clear-anodized billet brackets and plates cut to your rig, not pulled from a bin.
  • Metal fabrication & welding. Oversized 1.5″ × 2″ × .125″ wall aluminum A-frames built to race.
  • Sewing under the same roof. One-piece zipper and fabric storage bag standard on every awning.
  • Dye-sublimation large-format printing. Sponsor graphics printed straight into the fabric, not stuck on top.
  • Tighter tolerances. Machining and sewing in the same shop means parts fit as designed — a true custom fit.
  • One crew, one standard. No outside vendors, no handoffs, no finger-pointing when something doesn't line up.

Built in MN, shipped everywhere.

Being in Minnesota is where the awning starts — it isn't where it stays. We've shipped awnings to racers, hospitality rigs, and vendors all over the country since 1983.

Ship Nationwide

Your awning ships with hardware and storage bag, ready to hang — wherever you run, we can get it to you.

Same Build, Any Zip

An awning bound for Texas gets the same in-house machining, sewing, and printing as one crossing the county line.

DMP race awning set up trackside, built about an hour from Brainerd International Raceway
05 — Brainerd International Raceway

An hour from BIR.

If you run Brainerd International Raceway or make the trip for the NHRA Brainerd Nationals, the shop is roughly an hour down the road. For a lot of Minnesota teams, that means the people who built your awning are practically local.

We know that stretch of the state well — it's our own backyard, and it's where a good chunk of DMP awnings end up shading a pit. Being close by makes it easy to talk through a build in person and get your rig sorted before the season heats up.
