Outdoor Awnings

Motorised Retractable Awnings

Motorised awnings provide convenient adjustable shade, allowing the awning to be extended when shade is required and retracted when you want to open the area to sunlight.

They're particularly useful for patios, decks and outdoor entertaining areas where changing sun conditions can make flexible shade desirable throughout the day.

Retractable Awnings for Patios & Decks

A retractable awning can provide shade over suitable patios, decks and entertaining areas without permanently covering the space. When retracted, the area remains open; when extended, the awning provides additional protection from direct sunlight.

When selecting a retractable awning, consider the width and projection required, mounting location, available clearance and the dimensions of the area you want to shade.

Fixed Window Awnings

Window awnings provide targeted shade over windows and can help reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching the glass. Fixed designs provide a simple solution where permanent shading is preferred over a retractable system.

Window awnings can be particularly useful on areas of the home that receive significant direct sunlight, while also adding a defined architectural feature to the exterior.

Choosing an Outdoor Awning

When comparing outdoor awnings, consider where the awning will be installed, the dimensions of the area, sun direction, required projection, mounting surface and whether you prefer fixed or adjustable shade.

For retractable models, also consider the operating mechanism and whether manual or motorised operation best suits the location and intended use.

Outdoor Awnings & Other Shade Solutions

Different outdoor areas require different approaches to shade. Awnings provide wall-mounted shade for suitable locations, while freestanding solutions can offer greater flexibility elsewhere around the home.

Installation & Operating Conditions

Outdoor awnings must be securely installed to an appropriate structure and used according to the manufacturer's requirements. Installation requirements vary according to the size, mounting system and individual awning design.

Retractable awnings should also be retracted when weather conditions exceed the manufacturer's operating recommendations. Always refer to the individual product specifications for installation, wind conditions, operation and care requirements.
