Awning Description
The overlapping arms of this Swiss-designed and engineered awning allow it to provide more depth than width. The overall width of the awning is minimal, while still providing maximum shade when extended. This makes the Cross-Over Awning perfect for balconies, narrow roof terraces, window niches, and more.
Depending on its width, the Cross-Over Retractable Awning has two or four folding arms. When extended, it looks the same as a standard folding-arm awning. The Cross-Over is compatible with our Premium Retractable Awnings, with matching hood and other options.
Upgrades include replacing the manual gear with a Somfy RTS motor and sun and wind sensors with remote control.
