FAQs
What types of retractable awnings are there?
There are a number of types of retractable awnings, such as:
- Patio awnings - This is attached to a wall and extends out.
- Pergola awnings - These have a fixed frame design that stays in place when the awning is retracted.
- Freestanding awnings - Perfect for open spaces, freestanding awnings tend to be used to cover restaurants, pools and lawns.
Do I need a permit for a retractable awning?
Retractable awnings usually do not require permits as they tend to come under permitted development rights. However, if your property is a listed property or in a conservation area, you will need a permit.
Are retractable awnings waterproof?
This ultimately depends on the type of retractable awning you choose to implement. For example, retractable awnings are typically water resistant, meaning they can withstand light rain, but will not keep you dry in downpours or storms. Whereas if you opt for a waterproof retractable awning, it should keep you much drier in that wetter weather.
Are retractable awnings worth it?
Retractable awnings can be worth it for home and business owners as they combine practical benefits with aesthetic appeal. They provide shading and a cover for furniture, allowing you to enjoy your garden all year round, making them a great investment for your property.
Can retractable awnings be used in the rain?
Yes, they can be used in the rain; however, you need to consider the material they’re made from, the awning's pitch and the weather conditions. Awnings should be retracted in both heavy rain and strong winds to prevent damage.
How does a retractable awning work?
A retractable awning’s core component is the roller tube. This contains tension springs and is covered by the awning fabric. The tube will rotate to either extend or retract the awning, and the springs provide force for this to work.
How to clean a retractable awning?
Cleaning a retractable awning is super easy.
Simply brush away any debris with a soft brush and hose the awning down with water.
You can also dip a sponge in a mild soap solution to try to remove any stains on the awning’s fabric.
Allow the fabric to completely dry before retracting it.
Top tip: Harsh or abrasive chemicals must be avoided when cleaning your retractable awning, as this can cause significant damage.
