Awnings

The most important considerations when choosing an awning are the width of the wall or opening you want to cover and the projection depth you need to provide adequate shade over your patio or seating area. Measure the width of your door, window, or patio area carefully and choose an awning that extends at least as wide as the space you want to shade. Projection depth determines how far the awning extends outward from the wall — a deeper projection of 2.5 metres or more provides significantly more shade coverage during peak sun hours. Also consider whether you want a manual crank operated awning for simplicity or a motorised awning for added convenience, particularly for larger and heavier models.

Our collection includes a range of retractable patio awnings in manual crank operated and motorised designs in a variety of widths and projection depths to suit different property styles and outdoor spaces. Canopy fabric options are available in a selection of striped and plain colour tones including grey, blue, green, and cream to complement most exterior wall finishes and garden aesthetics. Full width, projection, and fabric colour options are listed on each individual product page.

Yes, all awnings come with free mainland UK delivery. Delivery timescales are shown on each individual product page so you know exactly when to expect your order.

Yes, all awnings in our collection include full installation instructions and all required fixings and hardware in the box. However due to the nature of wall mounted installation and the weight of awning units we strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified fitter to ensure the awning is correctly and safely secured to the wall structure. Incorrect installation can affect both the performance and safety of the awning and may also affect any applicable warranty.

Our awnings are constructed from powder coated aluminium and steel cassette housings with retractable polyester or acrylic fabric canopies, all selected for outdoor weather resistance, UV protection, and long term durability. Acrylic fabric canopies offer superior fade resistance and water repellences compared to standard polyester options and are particularly well suited to the variable UK climate. Arm mechanisms are typically made from aluminium for lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. Full material and fabric specifications are listed on each individual product page.

Yes, we offer a returns policy on all awnings. Please visit our delivery and returns page for full details on timeframes and conditions before placing your order.

In most cases installing a retractable awning on a residential property in the UK does not require planning permission as it typically falls within permitted development rights, provided it does not significantly alter the appearance of the property or extend beyond the boundary. However planning permission requirements can vary depending on your property type, location, and whether your home is in a conservation area or is a listed building. Properties in conservation areas or those subject to Article 4 directions may have additional restrictions on external alterations. We always recommend checking with your local planning authority before proceeding with installation to confirm whether permission is required in your specific circumstances and to avoid any potential compliance issues."
