By mid-afternoon this time of year, an unshaded deck in Metro Atlanta can feel more like a skillet than a place anyone wants to sit. A retractable awning solves that without the cost or commitment of a permanent structure, giving homeowners shade exactly when and where they want it.
Unlike a fixed roof, a retractable awning can be pulled back on cooler evenings or overcast days to open the space back up, then extended again the moment the sun comes around. For decks that don't have the layout or budget for a full pergola or patio cover, it's often the simplest way to reclaim a few extra hours of usable outdoor time each day.
We install awnings sized to the deck they're covering, not a one-size-fits-all system, so the shade actually lands where people are sitting.
What time of day does your deck become too hot to enjoy?
