Rabun County is Georgia’s mountain-lake country — Clayton’s railroad-town main street, Lake Rabun’s 25-mile shoreline, the Tallulah River chain of lakes below Lake Burton, and Tallulah Gorge and Black Rock Mountain State Parks framing the whole county. The market is second homes and short-term rentals: dense rental inventory in Clayton, Dillard, and Lakemont, lake-view decks, and mountain cabins where the outdoor room is the listing photo. For a shade dealer, Rabun is the premium mountain play — high-ticket decks, weather exposure, and buyers who spend freely on the second home.
The short-term rental lane is the volume engine. Hundreds of rental cabins and lake homes compete on the strength of their outdoor living space — and a shaded, screened deck photographs better, reviews better, and books better. Dealers quote the deck as revenue equipment: retractables for the afternoon sun, motorized screens for the mountain bug season. The fifteen-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized power screens is the credential the multi-property owner’s ROI math demands.
The lake-home lane is the premium texture. Lake Rabun’s shoreline and the Tallulah chain draw second-home buyers two hours from Atlanta — retirees and professionals who treat the mountain house like the first. Covered porches need insect relief at dusk; west-facing decks need afternoon shade. Both products quote clean, and neither has a local specialist.
Mountain weather is the daily sales texture. Ridge-line gusts, fast storm cells, hail that is not theoretical, and pollen season that buries horizontals. The wind sensor’s automatic retraction is the headline feature — and the sealed cassette is the pollen answer. Dealers demo the retraction on every quote; mountain buyers who have replaced cheap awnings before buy the engineered system without being asked twice.
Manufacturing happens at our Southern California factory — the same factory whose crews install locally. In Rabun County, you sell the American-made retractable awnings and motorized power screens and handle installation with your own team or local contractors you trust. Wholesale catalog, dealer portal, measuring and installation training, co-brandable marketing — the territory relationship stays yours from the first measure to the final walkthrough, and the brand on the truck stays yours too.
The product line
What Rabun County dealers sell
Rental-deck systems and lake-home screens for the mountains.
Motorized Power Screens
Zip-track motorized screens for Rabun patios and porches: fabric locked in side tracks so it stays tensioned and quiet in wind, with sensors that secure the system automatically. Exterior shade beats every interior blind — the energy story closes the analytical buyer.
See power screens for dealersFull-Cassette Awnings
Full-cassette awnings for the Rabun buyer who has watched weather destroy a cheap awning: the entire system seals inside a housing against UV, pollen, dust, and storms when retracted. Premium positioning, premium margin, fifteen-year warranty.

Territory opportunity
The mountain-lake premium play
Clayton rentals, Lake Rabun shoreline, ridge-line weather.
The short-term rental deck lane is the volume engine: cabins and lake homes whose outdoor space is the listing photo. Shaded, screened decks book better — dealers quote the deck as revenue equipment to owners and property managers, and the fifteen-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized power screens survives the owner’s interrogation.
The Lake Rabun shoreline is the premium lane: second homes with lake-view decks and covered porches, owned by Atlanta buyers two hours away. Retractables for the afternoon sun, motorized screens for the dusk insects — quoted to buyers who spend on the second home like it’s the first.
The US-441 mountain-town corridor anchors the operation: Clayton, Dillard, Mountain City, and Tallulah Falls strung along the Gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains. One dealer based in Clayton dispatches to every rental, cabin, and lake property in the county.
The ridge-storm pitch underwrites everything: mountain gusts, fast cells, hail, pollen. Apply today for a straight answer on availability in Rabun County.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The mountain-lake edge
Clayton on US-441: short-term rental decks and Lake Rabun second homes, two hours from Atlanta.
1. Wholesale, not franchise. Forget franchise economics. There are no fees and no royalties; there is dealer pricing on American-made retractables and power screens, your brand on the job across Rabun, and your margin on every sale.
Rental managers and cabin builders hear it first. Rabun County’s contractors and property managers meet owners before the furniture arrives — and most have no premium American-made shade answer. The dealership turns that gap into standardized deck packages: retractables and screens quoted across whole rental portfolios, your crew installing, your margin on every system.
Mountain buyers buy the usable deck. The pitch is revenue and evenings: the deck that bakes at 3 PM and swarms at 7 PM becomes the room the rental books on. Extend the retractable, drop the screen, and the owner who bought the view closes on the equipment that makes it the listing photo.
4. Put fifteen years in the quote. The 15-year factory warranty on every retractable awning and motorized power screen is your closing credential in Rabun — comparison shoppers interrogate everything, and this ends the interrogation. Coverage varies by product and component.
5. Your capital stays yours. Build-to-order manufacturing means your money works in your business, not on a warehouse shelf. Rabun dealers sell from the catalog and samples; we manufacture to order and ship to the job.
