Awnings will give you a lot of freedom in making a statement in your garden.
The colours and fabrics available will enable you to co-ordinate the style
of your awning with your garden furniture, your garden scheme and the exterior
of your home. Make sure that the fabric is treated with a UV stabiliser that
resists fading, as well as coated with Teflon to make it stain-resistant
and has undergone an anti-mildew treatment, to prevent spots appearing.
New technology means that awnings nowadays are fully automatically operated.
A wide range of remote control options will ensure optimal enjoyment, so
that manually unfurling of the awning is history. There are even light sensors
available that will operate the awning for you! Wind sensors are a must as
they will keep an eye on the wind speeds and will retract your awning when
speeds will make it unsafe to have your awning extended.
To ensure that you have optimal use of your garden, the direction and amount
of sun should be determined. These criteria will define the placement and
drop of the awning. Also the size of the awning can be optimised.
Not only your standard awning cover will help you get the most out of your
outside space, you can also opt for a front valence, a highly decorative
and useful addition, which will give you extra shade for when the sun just
wants to peep under your awning! For extra privacy and shading side curtains
are available.
All the fabric and mechanical choices put aside, the actual skeleton of
the awning should always be made of powder coated aluminium and stainless
steel. Aluminium is renowned for its lightweight and stainless steel for
its strength. Especially brackets and other fixings need to be of stainless
steel, as they will secure the awning to the building.
