A Retractible Awning is The Favorite Choice of Homeowners


When it comes to awnings there are two types: a retractible awning and fixed awnings.  Obviously home owners tend to go with the more flexible option rather than a fixed awning which may cost a lot of money to install and is a permanent fixture rather than something you can maneuver. Not too mention the supporting poles of the fixed awning may block views or get in the way of landscaping certain areas of your yard.

Not only does a rectractible awning protect you from the elements they provide a larger area of shade or protection than just a regular sun umbrella. They also protect your doorways from icy steps or rainy days when you are trying to get your key in the door.  On hot days you can retract the awning out to stop the direct sun rays from coming in your house or on cold days retract it back in to allow the natural sun to heat your house. Fixed awnings do not give you the flexibility of roll up your awning to protect from heavy storms or high winds….so you risk damage.

The other to consider when buying a retractible awning is whether you want an electric awning or manual one.  Even with the added bonus of an arm work out, manual roll up awnings may not be suitable for elderly or ill homeowners as they require quite a bit of upper body strength.  Nonetheless, they are quite a bit cheaper than the motorized versions.  Motorized awnings usually come with a remote control or have a switch near by to roll your awning up with ease.  So although you may pay a bit more for the convenience of a remote control awning it may be worth your time and effort.  Don’t forget, however, that you will need a power outlet near your motorized awning.

As for installing either of these awnings, both are relatively easy to install, however, for elderly people or those less inclined to manual labour, perhaps getting a professional is the way to go.  This way you know it is installed correctly and efficiently.  It could take you close to part of a day to do it yourself but pro’s can do it within an hour usually.  Do not forget, however, that an electrician may be needed for the electric version if there isn’t a power outlet near by. So when deciding on which retractible awning you desire weigh all the pros and cons carefully.
