Enhance Your Space with Awnings
Discover the Benefits of Awnings
Awnings bring a perfect blend of beauty and practicality to any home or outdoor space. These versatile coverings provide shade, protect against the elements, and elevate curb appeal with customizable designs. Whether you're creating a cozy patio retreat or adding charm to your windows, awnings offer an effortless way to enhance comfort and style year-round.
Retractable awnings are designed for sun protection and should be retracted during heavy rain to avoid water pooling and fabric stretching. They can be used in light drizzle or misty rain, provided there are no strong winds.
Our awnings come with an anti-corrosion, integrated cassette housing that protects the fabric from weather damage, ensuring it lasts longer.
Awnings come with built-in dimmable LED lights in the arms, allowing for adjustable light levels using a remote control, at no extra cost or separate installation expenses.
Customers can protect against the sun by easily adjusting the slope of their awning with the included crank and pitch pin.
You can also add a drop shade to an awning.
Awnings have a multi-use front bar that accommodates optional accessories such as drop screens, wind sensors, and wind poles.
Cross-arm awning is designed for narrow and deep applications, offering widths from 8 feet up to 13 feet 5 inches with a 12-foot projection. It features a full semi-cassette housing, integrated LED lights, and is made with premium Sunbrella® fabric.

Concept Idea of using visualizer for Awnings Now keep in mind if the awning projects out 12 feet it will help cover part of the pool. And will offer shade Pitch can go from 42-45 degrees
This is another option called a drop shade that comes off of the awning.. Please not this is free hanging. Thus no retention system. Also Awnings should be placed on wind sensor.
So Awnings can be pitched down so you can also block the sun. This is done with a hand crank that adjust the pitch of the shade. Watch our video to the left to understand.
Watch our video what happens when the hand crank for the pitch adjustment is too short.
So things to consider when placing the awning on the patio
The length of the crank for a hand-cranked awning matters because it affects leverage, speed, ergonomics, reach, and safety. A longer crank (5–6 feet) reduces effort, speeds up operation, and allows ground-level access for high-mounted awnings, while fitting small patios and Houston’s frequent weather changes. The best choice is a 5–6-foot aluminum or stainless steel crank wand, standard for SunSetter awnings and suitable for a 8–16-foot awning mounted 8–12 feet high on your stucco home’s eaves. This length balances ease of use, comfort, and control, ensuring quick retraction during Houston’s rain or wind. Check your awning’s provided crank, and if it’s shorter, upgrade with Texas Outdoor Shades for a longer crank.
