What awning for terraces?
With so many products to choose from in the patio awning category, the question "Which awning is best?" often comes up. Although the question of the best awning for terraces can not be answered in a blanket manner, there are clues that should be considered when choosing an awning. When looking for a sunshade for terraces, you should consider the following factors:
Terrace size: Depending on the size of the terrace, various awning models can be used: For smaller terraces awnings for niches and small areas are suitable, optionally with the stretch function. For terraces with a medium size, the choice usually falls on folding-arm awnings or pergola awnings. If you have particularly large terraces, you can often combine different awning models and awning systems. If you are a restaurateur or have a business, inform about the possibilities of large area shading for your terrace.
If the awning is exposed to strong winds, the best solution is a pergola model. By fixing them to the wall of the house, as well as additional support posts in the ground, they can withstand stronger gusts.
If the terrace has a roof or a winter garden, under-glass awnings or on-glass awnings can be installed.
If there is a roof overhang, open folding-arm awnings are an option. The fabric cover and folding arms are protected by the projection.
If there is no protective eaves, a half or full cassette awning should be used.
On some facades, a built-in awning is feasible.
In addition to providing shade from above, side screens can be installed for side sun protection, wind protection or privacy on the patio.
If attachment to the facade is not possible or desired, in many cases awning systems anchored to the ground or free-standing (double) awnings can be realized.
