There are many types of awnings for you to choose from, but when it comes to your patio or your deck, retractable awnings are the way to go. Retractable awnings are exactly what you might expect from their name; you can extend them when you want to enjoy some shade or shelter from the rain, and you can retract them when you would rather bask in the sun. Here are three advantages of retractable awnings to consider:
- More Flexibility- A deck or patio is a place where you can enjoy a wide variety of activities, from relaxing by yourself to entertaining your friends. Because it is such a versatile space, it is important for it to have flexibility. In other words, you want to control whether you will enjoy shade or sunlight on a particular day, and retractable awnings make that possible.
- Minimal Appearance- Retractable awnings tend to look less bulky and have cleaner lines than stationary awnings because retractable awnings do not have poles to keep them upright while the stationary awnings usually do. The frames of retractable awnings are more discreet, offering a neater appearance.
- Suitable for Extreme Weather- Because stationary awnings cannot be taken down easily, they can experience wear and tear caused by extreme weather. In contrast, retractable awnings can be closed during a storm, protecting them from damage as a result.
