ABOUT PATIO AWNINGS

Patio awnings are normally constructed of aluminium, and comprise a roller, on which a fabric cover is attached to a rigid front edge. The front edge is supported on folding horizontal arms, which may be extended manually or by electric motor. The more advanced designs retain the roller within a cassette, so that the fabric is protected when the awning is closed.
