With the cold, winter months finally coming to an end and warmer weather on the way, you’ll have more time to enjoy your private, outdoor space at home. Now that we have more sunshine, those outside ventures might have you seeking shade and wondering how to block that afternoon sun on your patio. Now is the perfect time to start looking at those SBF retractable awnings for shade.
An awning is an overhead canopy made of fabric, supported by a sturdy metal frame attached to your home. The awning extends from your home over the area you want to shade, allowing you to provide overhead covering to a patio, deck, or balcony. What’s particularly useful about a retractable unit is that it can be pulled back when not in use and folds up compactly against your home to stay out of the way.
What factors should you consider when purchasing an awning?
The first step is to determine the exact area or outdoor space you are looking to shade. Awnings come in many sizes and can be customized to fit your exact space, so you will need to know the size of the awning you will require, including width and projection. They can also be affixed to your home in multiple ways, such as to the roof, soffit, or a wall. The most fun part of these decisions, and probably the most challenging, will be what color or pattern you desire. With over 10 different fabric colors, we will make sure you get the perfect awning design for your home. And if your decorative taste ever changes, you can replace the fabric with a different pattern.
Stationary vs. Retractable Awnings
With your new awning, let the sun shine down because you can enjoy a shady lounge chair where the sun won’t melt the ice in your glass of lemonade. With more time being spent at home now, consider installing a retractable awning to your home. It will provide you with more comfort outdoors during the hot summer months.
