Motivation to purchase an awning differs as much as the very range of products and their applications. In essence, an awning is a stylish solution to shade an outside space (residential and commercial) and to protect it from rain but it can easily be adapted to suit many more individual needs.
A wind sensor will send a signal to your motor to retract the awning when the wind gets too much. Once set, it will automatically protect your awning from potential damage during storms and in case of unpredictable weather, giving you one less thing to worry about!
At Awning Depot each product is custom made. Call us, tell us what you need, and we will find the best option, tailor-made to your building, suitable for its function and design.
The awning can be a minimum of 2.2 metres and the maximum of 6 metres. If you need an awning wider than 6 metres, please call us to discuss it.
The maximum projection awnings can come out is 4 metres, but this is affected by various factors. Our experiences engineers will help you find the best option.
The best guideline for this is to ensure that there is enough headroom and that any surrounding doors or windows can fully open when the awning is extended. We would recommend 20 cm clearance above door frames and an installation height of 2.5-3.5 metres.
We like challenges and are ready to offer unconventional solutions. Give us a call and let us work around whatever it is that is stopping you form having an awning.
