About the Brand
WHO ARE
BASE DIRECT?
BASE Direct are a UK awning manufacturer based in Walsall, West Midlands. They supply residential and commercial awnings to homeowners, trade partners and businesses across the country — all built to order at their own facility.
We stock their range because the product holds up. Solid construction, proper fabric choices, and motors that work — which matters more on an awning than it might sound when you're relying on it through a British summer.
Their range covers everything from compact cassette awnings for smaller patios to large commercial installations for cafés and retail fronts. If you need an awning, there's a BASE model that fits the job.
