Get The Shade You Need With Patio Awnings!

Patio awnings are available as retractable or fixed. When you have a retractable patio awning, you can roll it in during times of bad weather.

Usually with fixed awnings, you need to have posts to keep them in place and these may block your view. With retractable awnings, there are no posts needed because the installation involves arms installed against your house. When you need to roll up the awning or put it down to shade the sun, all you have to do is push a button.

However, these awnings do come with a manual override just in case of a power failure.

How to choose the right awning for you

When you decide that you want to add a retractable awning to your patio or just one over the window of your living room, there are certain things that you must do. These include:

• Decide where the lateral arms should be
• Measure the width of the awning that you need
• Decide whether you want to have a remote control with the awning
• Determine how much pitch you want with the awning

The fabrics for the awnings are made from 100% solution dyed yarns or you might choose awnings made from canvas. In either case, the material is dyed so that the color goes all the way through and will stay looking new year after year. Because they are solution dyed, they will not fade, crack or be susceptible to decay because of chemicals. You do have to clean the awnings, but a simple washing with soap and water will do the trick. Awnings provide you with protection from the UV rays of the sun. If you have one over your window, it will also help protect the furniture and flooring from fading due to exposure to the sun.
