Sevier County is the Smoky Mountain tourism corridor, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, about 98,380 residents, and one of the highest vacation-rental densities in the Southeast. Millions of visitors a year cycle through cabins and lodges whose decks are the property’s main stage. For a shade dealer, this county breaks the normal residential math: the buyer is often an investor, the amenity directly raises the nightly rate, and the decision runs on revenue, not emotion.
The investor channel is the dealer’s core lane here. Cabin and lodge owners compete on listings, and the outdoor amenity is the photo that books the weekend. A motorized retractable awning or a bank of power screens photographs into a listing like a second deck, and it installs in a day, which means the owner isn’t losing occupancy to a renovation. Dealers who court property managers and short-term-rental hosts get repeat, portfolio-scale work: one manager’s roster is twenty addresses.
Mountain weather writes the pitch. Intense summer sun pounds the west-facing decks at altitude, and storm cells roll off the Smokies on summer afternoons with almost no warning. The wind-sensor auto-retract, ‘it puts itself away before the cell hits’, is the sentence that ends the storm conversation, and full-cassette housings protect the fabric through the off-season freeze. The buyer who has watched a commodity canopy shred in a ridge gust converts fast.
The current competition is barely competition at all: the tourism market’s awning vendors are commodity resin-product resellers, not shade specialists, and there is no Sevier County retractable-awning dealer program on the map. National brands run city-level dealer-locator pages (Sunair’s Knoxville page is the East Tennessee template), but nobody has recruited a dealer in the corridor. The county’s contractors, cabin builders, and property-service companies have never been offered a wholesale motorized program to sell under their own brand.
AJ Shades manufactures in Southern California, where our own crews install; in Sevier County, dealers sell American-made retractable awnings and motorized power screens and install them with their own teams or trusted local contractors. Wholesale catalog, dealer portal, measuring and installation training, investor-facing 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 Sevier County dealers sell
Revenue math, not comfort math, the investor’s shade catalog.
Motorized Power Screens
The cabin product: zip-track screens that turn a lodge deck into an all-weather room at the touch of a remote. Guests use the deck in rain, insects, and west sun, the reviews mention the screens, and the occupancy rate moves. No commodity resin reseller in the corridor can touch this line.
See power screens for dealersOpen-Roll Retractable Awnings
The volume engine for the Sevierville primary-home belt and the value cabins: genuine on-demand shade at economics that close with investors, backed by the same 15-year factory warranty as the premium line. One-day installs keep the occupancy calendar clean, the amenity pays for itself before the first renewal.
Browse the dealer catalogFull-Cassette Awnings
Sealed housing for the luxury lodges and the owners who read engineering: storm cells and mountain pollen never touch the fabric inside a cassette, the retracted profile stays architectural against log construction, and the 15-year warranty is the spec that closes the hardest investor.

Territory opportunity
Resort corridors and the primary-home belt
Sell to investors in the corridors and homeowners on the belt.
The Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg resort corridors are the investor lane: cabins and lodges where the deck is the listing photo and the amenity is revenue. Motorized screens and retractables close here on occupancy math, and one property manager’s portfolio is twenty addresses, not one.
The Sevierville primary-home belt delivers the residential volume: working families with big decks and mountain views, buying shade for the same reasons as everyone else, west sun, storm cells, evenings that end at dusk. Open-roll retractables and power screens close fast here.
The luxury lodge ridges are the premium lane: high-end cabins competing on amenity for premium nightly rates. Full-cassette awnings and screen banks close here, sealed housings against the mountain weather, the 15-year warranty against the buyer’s interrogation.
The builder-and-property-service channel ties it together: cabin builders, renovation contractors, and property-service companies who touch every new listing and every turnover. Get in with three corridor shops and the pipeline feeds itself. Apply today for a straight answer on availability in Sevier County.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The vacation-market edge
The Southeast’s densest rental market, served by resin resellers.
1. Wholesale, not franchise. The model is wholesale, not franchise. No fees, no royalties, no mandated anything, just dealer pricing on American-made retractables and power screens that you sell as your own across Sevier County, keeping every point of margin.
2. The investor channel multiplies. A property manager’s portfolio is twenty addresses, not one, and cabin owners talk. The dealer who sells the first lodge a screen bank gets the manager’s whole roster by referral, and every install photographs into the listing that sells the next owner.
3. The competition is commodity. The corridor’s current vendors sell resin products, not shade systems. An AJ dealer selling motorized, American-made, warranty-backed product isn’t competing, it’s category-building. First real dealer in the corridor wins the category by showing up.
4. The 15-year warranty for the investors. When Sevier County buyers compare factories, the warranty decides. Fifteen years, factory-serviced, on every retractable awning and motorized power screen we wholesale, it is the specification that outlasts every objection in the room.
5. No inventory, no new crew. Build-to-order manufacturing means your capital stays in your business, not on a warehouse shelf. Dealer portal access, installation training, marketing support, and technical backup make it possible to sell motorized shade in Sevier County without hiring or expanding.
Crew-first business in Sevier County? The contractor program serves contractors who sell through their installation capability, and a number of Tennessee partners run the dealer and contractor programs in parallel.
