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.

The leading UK suppliers of patio awnings, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites giving information on all aspects of patio awnings, including types of patio awnings, installation of patio awnings and maintenance of patio awnings.
