Awning Description
Save money without sacrificing quality! The Economy Retractable Awning gives you the most shade for your dollar.
Don’t be fooled! “Economy” generally means cheap and low quality. The Economy Retractable Awning with the square-back bar is Swiss engineered, designed and finished like a great Swiss watch.
You will enjoy this high-quality retractable awning for many trouble- free years. The Economy Retractable awning is great for balconies, smaller decks and patios and store fronts.
This retractable awning has a maximum width of 16’5” and a maximum of two powerful folding arms providing a maximum extension of 9’10”. Sattler or Sunbrella Awning fabric is standard on all of our awning. We don’t substitute “cheap imitations” that last only a year or two.
Due to its unique mounting brackets, the Economy Retractable Awning can be mounted to a wall, soffit or roof rafters. The pitch can easily be adjusted from horizontal to a 60 degree drop, providing the flexibility to suit nearly every need.
The Economy Retractable Awning can be operated either with a gear and hand crank or with an optional Somfy RTS electric motor. The Economy Retractable Awning provides maximum value at a great economical price and a 10-year warranty.
Convenient and attractive options such as motorization, sun and wind sensors, and remote control make the Economy Retractable Awning even more convenient to operate making the ideal sun protection solution for patios, decks, and other sitting areas that require shade.
