Patio awnings can provide a large area of shade over tables and seating at restaurants and outdoor dining spaces. The right model depends on the façade width, the required projection and how much of the seating area needs covering. A full-cassette awning protects the fabric and arms when retracted, making it useful on exposed façades.
Motorised operation makes it easier to extend and retract larger awnings several times a day. Fabric choice affects the light beneath the awning and how it complements the premises. Longer façades may need several awnings, so plan the dimensions and positioning as a complete scheme.
