Summary
A profession that cuts, sews, and assembles sunshades (awnings) installed on the outer walls or windows of stores and homes using canvas fabric.
Description
Canvas sunshade makers use canvas fabric made from cotton duck or synthetic fibers to produce awnings (sunshades) for stores and homes. They create patterns based on on-site measurements, cut materials, sew using industrial sewing machines or by hand, and perform reinforcement and waterproofing processing. As finishing, they attach fittings and support frames to ensure product strength and appearance. In addition to work in manufacturing factories, they may also perform installation and adjustments at customer sites. Quality control and safety confirmation are important, requiring broad material knowledge and technical skills.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to energy-saving and UV protection needs for homes and stores. While simple processes may decrease with advances in automation technology, the skills of craftsmen handling custom orders and high-quality products will continue to be required.
