How many types of patio awnings for your garden？

During the hot summer months, you may want to enjoy your outdoor space with friends and family, especially on your backyard patio. However, the strong UV rays and excessive temperatures are not to be ignored. So have you considered adding a new shade to your house or outdoor space?

The awning is the best option, but there are different types that need to be differentiated.

Stationary

Stationary awnings are permanently installed and provide continuous protection during the spring, summer and fall. It can withstand snow and provide year-round enjoyment. Also no longer can you rest outside only when the weather is nice. If you are a commercial awning such as a restaurant or cafe, always have reliable outdoor seating coverage to generate additional revenue.

Portable

Portable awnings are similar to tents and can be easily transported from one place to another. They tend to be freestanding and can be put away when you're not using them. Simple to assemble and easy to move.

Retractable

In the home, the most popular are retractable awnings, especially in the backyard. They can be unfolded or retracted at will when you need them, keeping them out of the elements and not worrying about the risk of damage from inclement weather such as snow, rain, or high winds.

Motorized

Similar to retractable awnings, motorized awnings use an electric motor to push the awning to expand and retract. You can even get a unit with a remote control so you can prevent it from getting rained on when you need to roll it up suddenly. In addition, some models are equipped with a motor that can be operated manually to avoid being unable to operate the awning in the event of a power outage. In addition, high-end motorized awnings will be fitted with wind speed and humidity sensors to automatically unfold or close in high winds and heavy rain.
