Every awning is made to measure and installed by our own team.

Awning Types
Every style is available in manual or motorised operation and made to your exact measurements.
Retractable Folding Arm Awnings
The most popular choice for patios and decks. Folding arm awnings extend and retract without any posts or supports, giving you unobstructed shade when you need it and full sun when you don't.
Ideal for: patios, decks, alfresco dining areas
Fixed Awnings
Permanently extended for maximum shade and weather protection. Fixed awnings are ideal for windows, shopfronts, and areas where you want constant coverage without the need to operate them.
Ideal for: windows, shopfronts, covered walkways
Straight Drop Awnings
Drop straight down from a fixed head box to create a vertical screen against afternoon sun, wind, and light rain. Often used as café blinds or privacy screens on open-sided pergolas.
Ideal for: pergolas, balconies, café-style outdoor areas
Pivot Arm Awnings
A compact, cost-effective option for smaller windows and openings. Pivot arm awnings project outward at an angle, directing shade downward while still allowing airflow.
Ideal for: windows, small openings, tight spaces
Motorised vs Manual
Manual Awnings
Operated by a hand crank or strap. Simple, reliable, and cost-effective — a great choice for smaller awnings or where power is not available.
- Lower upfront cost
- No power required
- Simple and reliable
- Easy to service
Motorised Awnings
Extend and retract at the touch of a button, via remote, smartphone app, or smart home voice command. Add a wind sensor for automatic retraction in strong gusts.
- One-touch operation
- Smart home compatible (Google, Alexa, HomeKit)
- Wind sensor option for automatic retraction
- Ideal for large or hard-to-reach awnings
Fabric & Colour Choices
All awning fabrics are UV-stabilised and designed for the Australian climate. Choose from hundreds of colours and patterns.
Acrylic Solution-Dyed Fabric
The premium choice. Colour is locked into the fibre during manufacture — it won't fade, crack, or peel. Water-resistant, mould-resistant, and backed by a long manufacturer warranty.
PVC-Coated Polyester
Fully waterproof and easy to clean. Ideal for straight drop awnings used as rain screens. Available in clear, tinted, and solid options.
Mesh / Shade Cloth
Blocks up to 95% of UV while maintaining airflow and outward visibility. Keeps the area cool without creating a closed-in feel.
Why Add an Awning?
Block Up to 95% UV
Quality awning fabrics block the majority of harmful UV rays — protecting your skin, your furniture, and your flooring from sun damage.
Reduce Indoor Heat
Shading windows and glass doors before the sun hits them can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 10°C — cutting your cooling costs significantly.
Light Rain Protection
Straight drop and fixed awnings provide shelter from light rain, extending the usability of your outdoor area through Sydney's wetter months.
Extend Your Living Space
A shaded, comfortable outdoor area effectively adds a room to your home — perfect for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing outside.
