Retractable awning on a home exterior

Retractable Awnings - Instant Shade on Your Deck or Patio

Custom retractable awnings that extend for shade and retract when you want the sun. Manual or motorized, hundreds of fabric options.

Instant Shade - Out When You Want It, Gone When You Don't

A retractable awning mounts to your house wall and extends out over your deck or patio at the turn of a crank or the push of a button. When you want shade for lunch or to keep the living room cool, roll it out. When you want the sun or a clear sky, roll it back against the wall where it's barely noticeable.

It's the simplest way to make a deck or patio comfortable through a Delaware summer without building a permanent roof.

Manual or Motorized

  • Manual - a smooth hand crank extends and retracts the awning. Reliable, affordable, no wiring.
  • Motorized - a button or remote does the work. Add a sun sensor to extend automatically on hot afternoons and a wind sensor to retract in gusts.

Sizes & Fabrics

Retractable awnings commonly span up to about 20 feet wide and project 10–13 feet out - enough to shade a full deck or a patio seating area. The fabric is solution-dyed acrylic canvas: fade-resistant, water-repellent, and mold-resistant, in hundreds of solid colors, stripes, and patterns. Frame finishes range from white to bronze.
