Roof-Mounted Retractable
The Perfect Way to Add Shade When There is a Low Roof or Eave
These particular clients had spent considerable time and money re-landscaping their yard and turning it into a beautiful backyard oasis. The only issue was, they needed some relief from the afternoon sun on their newly completed patio. With such a low eave an awning mounted to the wall would feel claustrophobic. The solution? We installed the awning above the eave on the roof. |
Our clients picked out this beautiful pattern from Sunbrella: "Rodanthe Metallic". The beauty of picking a pattern such as this one, is that the lighter yellow sections light up and glow when the sun hits them. By combining a lighter color with darker gray sections, the canvas feels light and airy while still masking the dirt and grime that can accumulate on a awning canvas over time. |
Notice how nicely the canvas colors play off of the other accent colors in the yard.
We often get asked when discussing one of these projects with a prospective client: "what happens to rain water and other debris that falls on the roof, doesn't it get caught on the awning?" Take a look at this picture. Notice how the awning brackets lift the awning frame above the house? This insures that rain and other items can flow freely beneath the awning. |
