Sunshine awnings is the only place that does these. They require a special hurricane rated frame for installation. The frame attaches to the top of the birdcage. Cody is the name of the person that comes out and gives estimates for Sunshine.

If you have an old canvas top, I would guess that Sunshine originally installed it. The cost to re-cover the top is about 50% of the cost for a new install (and, since prices have gone up considerably, will probably be about the same to re-cover as the original install was).

They offer a new material called Herculite Natura. It's a vinyl based product, stronger than Sunbrella, doesn't sag over time, and is completely waterproof. Same cost for either product. I just had mine done with the Herculite Natura and love it so far.
