4 Types of Retractable Awnings |  

The above video showcases four types of retractable awnings.
Retractable awnings allow you to use your outdoor area more comfortably and frequently as well as helping your homes interior stay cooler in those warmer months.
The awnings displayed in the above video are:
1) Retractable roof
2) Shaderunner
3) Patio awning
4) Folding arm awning
Retractable awnings are an efficient and cost-effective way to extend your use of your deck, back yard, patio, or balcony.
Knowing which awning will be best for your space can be difficult to decipher, as you can gather there are many options available… So, which awning do you choose?
Ultimately it comes down to your wants/ needs, personal preferences, and budget.
Here are some things to consider when choosing the right shade for your outdoor space.
First off, what FUNCTION do you want out of your awning. Do you want your awning to mitigate sun, wind, and rain? Or would protection from hot sun suffice?
Second is the SIZE of the area you would like to cover. A small area would be okay with a folding arm, patio awning or a Shaderunner. For larger areas, retractable roofs and Shaderunners might be better as they can span bigger areas.
Thirdly is the unavoidable consideration of BUDGET. In simple, this consideration links back to the first and second points just discussed. For an example, a retractable roof that keeps put the sun, wind and rain will cost more than a Shaderunner that only mitigates sun and wind, of the same size. To break it down there are five primary factors that influence the cost of a retractable awnings and they are:
1) Type of product
2) Size of product
3) Type of operation (Manual or motorised)
4) Additional construction requirements (Additional frame works etc.)
5) Details (Fabric, powder coating etc.)
