A great way to add a sheltered area to any outdoor space is to use a free standing awning. Available in various sizes, designs and colours, these awnings are a straight forward and quick way to add an outdoor cover to an area. They are often used for both home and professional use and can be set up in various ways.
Medium sized free standing awnings are designed to provide shade and rain cover for areas around six meters wide to three meters across. Which is about the size for use in a garden space. Larger framed awnings can cover bigger areas, but are more rigid and heavier in their design.
Many of the free standing awnings can be operated used different systems. For example smaller awnings can be manually operated with a traditional rod or crank. Larger more complex awning designs can be operated using electric or solar powered systems, however these systems increase their price significantly.
