ngs from markilux:

flexibility meets design

Free-standing awnings are awnings that do not have to be attached to a building. In some cases, the structural conditions do not allow an awning to be attached to the façade. Or there is no building nearby. This may be the case, for example, if you have a second terrace away from the house or would like to shade your pool area. In such cases, you don't have to do without an awning at all, but can simply fall back on the free-standing awning models.

If you would still like to have a classic lateral arm awning, the markilux planet or markilux syncra models are suitable. The markilux planet is a type of awning parasol with a round aluminum post and angular cross-beam for attaching one of our lateral arm awnings. It is therefore an ideal design element for your outdoor area. A special highlight: in the flex version, it can be tilted up to 335° so that it can move with the sun and provide perfect shade at all times.

The markilux syncra awning stand system is a stylish sun protection, solar protection for large areas. This is a free-standing system made of aluminum that can be combined with lateral arm awnings or the markilux pergola models. This means that awnings can be installed in open areas, either with a concrete foundation or, for even more flexibility, with ballast boxes. For shading large areas, awnings can be attached to both sides of the cross-beam to create a double awning.

The third freestanding model to choose from is markilux markant, a cuboid awning system for sun and weather protection. This model is ideal for covering large areas. In combination with markilux vertical shades and the markilux format side elements, it creates an outdoor retreat.

You can complete the free-standing awnings with additional equipment such as LED lighting, infrared Heaters or convenient operating options, e.g. remote control, app or weather-dependent sensors.

Yes, freestanding awnings are specially designed to withstand weather conditions such as sun, rain and even wind. They are made from weatherproof materials that are both robust and durable.

Depending on the type of fabric, the fabrics of the awnings are water-repellent and UV-resistant. This means they not only protect you from the sun's harmful UV rays, but also from light rain.

The awning frame is made of high-quality materials such as aluminum, which is known for its strength and durability.

However, although freestanding awnings are stable and resistant, extreme weather conditions such as storms or hail can still cause damage. Therefore, we recommend retracting the awning during bad weather to maximize its operation life and prevent damage. With various equipment options, you can turn your awning into a weatherproof awning.

Yes, there are a variety of awning covers and frame colors to choose from to match your awning to the aesthetics of your home.

In addition, with the markilux syncra and the markilux planet, you are free to choose which awning to attach to the upright systems.

There are models that allow very large areas to be shaded. The markilux markant is particularly suitable for large areas. The maximum size of a single awning is 3 x 6 meters. As a double system, you can double this area to a total of 36 square meters.

Yes, various lighting options such as LED-Line or LED-Spots are available for many freestanding models. Infrared Heaters can also be integrated.

Yes, many models offer the option of integrating additional components to extend your privacy and protect you from low sun, wind and weather. With the markilux markant model, for example, it is possible to attach markilux format side elements or vertical shades.

Our awnings are always professionally installed by a markilux authorized dealer. Depending on which model you choose, a concrete foundation is required. If you prefer an installation that requires less effort, ballast boxes are available for the markilux syncra model, for example.

The same care instructions apply to freestanding awnings as for other awning types. As a rule, no extensive care is required, as our awning fabrics have a self-cleaning effect. Water droplets absorb dirt particles and roll off the awning cover. We therefore recommend leaving the awning extended in light rain from time to time. If there are leaves or similar soiling on the fabric cover, you should remove this immediately. Dust can be removed with a soft brush when dry. Stubborn stains can be cleaned with water and a normal, liquid mild detergent. A 5% soap solution with a maximum water temperature of 30° C is ideal.
