Awning

Awnings can cover large areas with shade and parasols, set the boundaries of outdoor living rooms and serve as a shelter from wind, sun and curious views of terraces and freestanding gardens. Remember that retractable awnings are mainly designed for shade but can be used in light rain. Retractable awnings can be operated either motorised or manually, and temporarily shade exterior areas, windows and doors by pressing a button or winding a crank. Water-repellent awnings and patio canopies allow you to enjoy your patio or deck as long as it is safe to stay outside. You may even want to install an awning on your terrace or behind your desk to protect your garden furniture from the sun, light and rain.
