Awnings come in many designs and structures, and an awning can be one of the simplest options. Awnings consist of a fabric cover stretched over a framework, and are attached to the house. They easily roll in and out, depending on whether you want to use them or not.
The awning fabric is available in a variety of colors and patterns. Combined with the aluminum framework, awnings are customizable and built to last, since the aluminum will not rust.
You also have the choice of a manual awning that uses a small crank to unroll it. Electronic awnings are simply a button push to unroll. The unrolling of some electronic awnings is triggered when sensors detect the presence of sun or wind.
Patio awnings provide the best option to easily and effectively shade an outside seating area. Window or door awnings are smaller and only cover the sun when it shines directly on the glass. However, they can be more easily installed if that is a consideration.
