What is a Side Awning?
A side awning is a retractable screen that extends from a discreet cassette housing to provide shelter and privacy. Unlike traditional garden fencing, side awnings can be pulled out only when needed, making them a flexible and space-saving option.
These awnings typically feature a durable fabric screen that resists fading, tearing and weather damage. When not in use, the screen retracts neatly back into its protective casing, ensuring long-term performance and minimal maintenance.
Transform Your Home with a Side Awning
While our retractable side awnings are designed with quality in mind, proper maintenance is essential for longevity. Regular and thorough cleaning, removal of dirt and debris, and periodic checks for tears and fabric weakening are crucial steps. Specific maintenance information can be provided upon request or discussed during the installation process.
Invest in a side awning for your house and enjoy the perfect blend of functionality, style, and durability. Contact us today at 0800 002 9904 to explore our extensive range or to order your free motorised awning brochure.
Benefits of a Retractable Side Awning
A retractable side awning offers a wide range of advantages for homeowners:
- Privacy on demand: Create a secluded space for dining, entertaining or relaxing without permanent structures.
- Wind protection: A windbreak side awning reduces gusts, making gardens more comfortable even in exposed areas.
- Sun shading: Block low afternoon sun to keep patios and seating areas cool.
- Stylish design: Available in a variety of colours and finishes to complement your home.
- Compact storage: Retracts smoothly into its cassette, keeping your outdoor area neat and tidy.
Where Can Side Awnings Be Used?
Privacy side awnings are highly versatile and can be installed in many outdoor settings:
- Alongside patios and terraces for shade and seclusion
- Between houses to create privacy from neighbouring gardens
- Around swimming pools or hot tubs for wind and sun protection
- In open gardens as outdoor privacy screens for flexible zoning
For homeowners who already enjoy garden and patio awnings, adding a side screen creates a complete, enclosed outdoor retreat.
