Solar and weather protection wherever your favourite place is

Gardens and patios are places where we like to spend a lot of time in summer: time to relax, pursue hobbies and spend time with family and friends. A particularly versatile solar protection system suits this new outdoor lifestyle perfectly: a free-standing awning.

Free-standing awnings are available in a wide variety of styles and in every conceivable size. What is really exciting: they can be combined with models that can be lowered or textile side screens for more privacy and protection from the wind and rain. Depending on your wishes and requirements, the awnings can also be equipped with weather sensors, LED lighting and infrared heaters. All models are smart-home-capable or can be controlled by radio remote control. One or more posts provide the necessary support for the free-standing awnings, which are available individually or as a multi-unit system. They are fixed in place or weighted down for this purpose, thus making this type of sun protection so versatile.

In particular, because each system has its own special features. This means that outdoor areas can be planned individually. For example, up to two of the manufacturer's individually operable folding-arm awnings can be attached to the “syncra” awning stand. There are several models to choose from. If you combine the system with a pergola awning, extra shade can be provided for a wide variety of floor plans. The spacious “markilux markant” roof awning also features a further benefit: here the cover extends horizontally. By integrating additional roller blinds from the manufacturer, it can be transformed into an airy outdoor room. And anyone looking for a version that doesn't have to be moved with the course of the sun should take a look at the “planet” awning-cum-parasol. It is equipped with a folding-arm awning and can be swivelled through 335 degrees depending on the model selected. This means the shade is always where you need it and your holiday destination is right outside your very own back door. 2,149 characters
