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.

    Privacy side awnings are highly versatile and can be installed in many outdoor settings:

    • Alongside patios and terraces for shade and seclusion
