Based on our observation, fabric awnings actually fare better than metal canopies during typical hailstorms. The fabric has the tendency to bounce back while metal awnings get dents and dings. Newer fabric fares best. In one hailstorm with golf-ball size hail, the few awnings that were damaged were larger patio awnings with fabric greater than 7 years old.
