Folding Arm Awnings are the perfect blind for increasing your outdoor living space and are available in a range of contemporary colours to coordinate with any home style.

Folding arm awnings provide a great way to create an inviting and comfortable outdoor living space or sitting area that is protected against the sun and light precipitation. These retractable awnings are designed to use a hinged arm structure that folds out to provide shade, and folds in to tuck away neatly when not in use.

This folding arm structure folds horizontally instead of vertically, and is cantilevered out from the wall using specially designed brackets. By so doing, the folding allows these types of awnings to provide a shaded area that is free for use without having to worry about walking into any intrusive posts.

Some folding arm awnings feature an adjustable pitch, which gives them extra versatility allowing for greater shade control. With these awnings, you can maximise sunshine by retracting the awning completely or adjusting the pitch (angle) for a variety of lighting and spatial effects.

Folding arm awnings are typically crafted for heat control and UV protection and can be operated either manually or through an automation feature. They are ideal as a roll away shade cover for a patio, deck, balcony or commercial applications such as awnings for shops, restaurants, hotels, pubs, cafes, gold courses and other hospitality establishments.
