Category: Awnings

Awnings are most useful outside of summer when the sun is less aggressive and the rain is more, making the outdoors more pleasant and usable. With the partnership we have with Samson, we are able to retail and fit retractable awnings in a way that leaves a very sturdy mechanism, unlike a lot of competitors who sell retractable that seize up after a few uses. We have both manual and motorised options, and while both are fine, the electric are great as they save you the hassle of getting caught in the rain making the walk to retract the awning. They are not designed for very high winds, so if you are thinking of getting one of our retractable awnings and your garden is more exposed, you will either want a wind sensor or, more reasonably, the retractable awning mechanism as a wind shield.
