Awning & Canopy Features

    Awnings & canopies provide protection to  you and your family from the sun’s harmful UV rays.  Further-more they
    make your outdoor living space more enjoyable on those blistering hot summer days.  As you know,  uncovered decks
    can be a stark, cold feeling space that is not a pleasant place to spend relaxing time.  By adding an awning or canopy
    over the deck,  it will become a cozy,  warm feeling outdoor living space that will be thoroughly enjoyed by all.  

    Additionally,  In today's era of ever rising energy costs,  awnings & canopies can save you money on your cooling costs
    by lowering the temperature inside your home because of a reduction in solar heat gain.

    We can provide you with quality fixed awnings,  retractable awnings,  and unique canopies.   Our awnings durable and
    attractive design,  together with dozens of Sunbrella fabric choices will compliment  your home's exterior.

    Fixed awnings are a great choice over doorways or windows that have a need to be shaded or protected from
    inclimate weather.   Projections from the wall are generally less than 48 inches.   A choice of Sunbrella fabrics or
    aluminum are offered for the coverings.   Because of their design fixed awnings will perfom well in rainy  and windy
    conditions.    Models are offered that will work with all door &  window types including both out-swinging doors and
    casement windows.

    Our retractable awnings are a great application where larger projections are needed.  The awnings are self-
    supporting,  meaning that there are no cumbersome and unsightly poles or supports to trip over,  to walk around,   or
    duck under.  They are available in widths up to 40‘ and projections up to 17’.   Adjustable pitch mechanism allows the
    homeowner to easily adjust  the awning's pitch as desired.

    All the structural components are made of heavy gauge aluminum and have a long-lasting powder-coated white,  
    almond, or bronze finish.  While the convenience of a motorized awning  is preferred by most people,  a manually
    operated option is available.   You can choose from 6 different matching valance styles.

    For certain window applications,  we have available drop-arm window awnings that can be retracted or lowered to
    cover part of the window or all of it.   

    Depending upon your application and your budget,  you can choose from 4 different retractable awning models.    
    Structural warranties range from 5 years to 20 years.

    Canopies are a great choice in applications where fixed or retractable awnings are not the best applications.  One
    choice would be to add a pergola type of structure over the deck area where between the rails would be awning fabric
    attached to a track system.   When protection is desired the awning fabric would be pulled via a wand down the length
    of the rail and snapped into place.  When protection is not desired,  the fabric is pulled the same way back to the other
    end of the rails.   This system is ideal for when strong winds are prevalent.  Also,  this system is great for commerical
    or recreational  applications.  Check out the ShadeTree Canopies link below.
