Outdoor living spaces are a true asset, providing an inviting place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the beauty of nature. However, adverse weather conditions, especially strong winds, can often disrupt your patio enjoyment. Fortunately, the right patio awnings can shield you from the sun and withstand gusty winds.

At Burlington Awnings, LLC, we offer high-quality patio awnings from manufacturers like Solaire and Summer Space. Through our years of experience, we have identified a few types of awnings that can handle the windiest days:

  • Retractable Awnings – Regarding wind resistance, retractable awnings are a preferred choice. Brands like Solaire are known for their sturdy construction and durable materials. These patio awnings can be retracted during periods of high wind, reducing the risk of damage.
  • Stationary Awnings. These awnings are permanently installed and designed with severe weather in mind. With proper installation and high-quality materials from brands like Summer Space, these awnings offer robust wind resistance. Stationary awnings are particularly beneficial for areas where winds are regular, as they provide consistent protection.

Regardless of the type, the fabric used for your awning can also impact its wind resistance. We use fabrics from Sunbrella and Serge Ferrari, known for their durability and resilience to harsh weather conditions. These high-performance fabrics resist tearing and fraying, even in strong winds.

As part of our services, we provide expert installation and regular maintenance to keep your awning in peak condition year-round. If you’re looking for a reliable, wind-resistant patio awning, just contact us today for more information.
