Why an awning
Shade and shelter, on demand
A retractable awning is the simplest way to make a deck or patio usable in more weather — out when you want shade or cover, tucked away when you don’t.
Sun & UV protection
Keep the deck, furniture and your family out of harsh NZ sun, and stop interiors fading through the doors.
One-touch motorisation
Extend and retract from a remote or wall switch — no winding. Far easier on a wide span.
Automatic wind sensor
An optional wind sensor retracts the awning for you in a gust, protecting it when you're not home.
Made to measure
Sized to your wall and the span you want to cover, with the fabric and frame colour to match your home.
Auckland measure & install
Free in-home measure, professional installation, and a 3-year warranty — one local team start to finish.
Configurations
Folding-arm awnings, made to measure
All custom-sized to your span. The right format depends on how exposed the wall is and how tidy you want the awning to look when it’s closed.
Full-cassette
Fabric and arms fully enclosed in an aluminium cassette when retracted — maximum protection and the cleanest closed look.
- Best weather protection closed
- Tidiest retracted profile
- Longest fabric life
Semi-cassette
A hood shelters the rolled fabric while the arms sit below — a balance of protection and value.
- Hood protects the fabric
- Good value
- Popular all-rounder
Open / folding-arm
Classic open folding-arm awning for covered or semi-sheltered spans where a cassette isn't needed.
- Wide projections
- Cost-effective
- Ideal under eaves
