Awnings

Awnings are a practical way to create reliable, fixed shade for patios, doors, and outdoor seating areas. Mounted directly to your home, they provide consistent cover without the need to move or reposition throughout the day.

This makes them a popular choice for outdoor dining, garden seating, and spaces you use regularly. Unlike parasols, awnings don’t take up floor space, and many designs can be extended or retracted depending on the weather.

In this collection, you’ll find a range of awnings including manual and motorised options, as well as different sizes and styles to suit your space. If you’re looking for a simple way to make your outdoor area more usable day to day, an awning is one of the most practical solutions.

You can also explore flexible options in our Parasols & Sun Shades collection or more structured solutions within our Pergolas.

FAQ: Awnings

Are awnings waterproof?

Most awnings are designed to provide protection from sun and light rain, but performance depends on the material.

Can awnings stay out all year?

Many can remain installed year-round, but retracting them during bad weather helps extend their lifespan. Most awnings fold away into what's called a cassette for safe stowage.

Are motorised awnings worth it?

They offer greater convenience, especially for larger awnings or frequent use.

Do awnings need professional installation?

Some can be installed as DIY projects, but this depends on the size and structure. For motorised awnings we recommend using a qualified electrician.
