Retractable Folding Arm Awning

Description

Enjoy outdoor living on your terms.

Our Retractable Folding Arm Awnings extend smoothly to create instant shade over patios, decks, or windows, then fold neatly away when you want open skies. No posts, no clutter – just sleek, European-style design that gives you flexibility and comfort at the push of a button.

Key Benefits:

• Instant Comfort: Provides cool shade and UV protection for outdoor dining, braais, or relaxing afternoons.
• Strong & Stylish: Powder-coated aluminium arms with premium acrylic fabric that resists fading in the South African sun.
• Flexible Options: Choose manual crank or motorised operation, with add-ons like wind or sun sensors for extra peace of mind.
• Wide Coverage: Spans up to 6m with projections up to 4m, creating large shaded areas without support posts.
• Custom Finish: A wide choice of fabric colours and cassette styles (open, semi, or full) to match your home’s look.

Built for South Africa:
Since 1984, our team has designed awnings that balance durability with elegance. Retract during storms for safety, enjoy light rain with the right pitch, and count on fabric that stays vibrant for years.

Types of Folding Arm Awnings

• Standard: Classic, everyday option with strong folding arms. Cost-effective and reliable, but with fabric exposed when retracted. Best for smaller to medium patios.
• Heavy Duty: Larger, reinforced arms built to handle bigger spaces and breezier conditions. Stronger than Standard, but fabric roll still exposed when closed. Ideal for wide patios or entertainment areas.
• Cassette: Premium solution where the entire awning retracts into a slim aluminium cassette, protecting the fabric and arms completely. Sleek look, longer fabric life, motorised only. A higher-end choice for modern homes.
