A Retractable Awning will enhance your outdoor living space, and add to the beauty of your home. When the sun comes out, roll your retractable awning out either manually or by motor, to provide a cool comfortable deck or patio. A retractable awning last much longer than a fixed in place awning, because retractables are not exposed to year round weather. Retractable awnings roll out only when you want shade and cool comfort.
