Where to install straight drop awnings outdoors

Straight drop awnings are often installed at the edge of decks and patios for sun protection. Thanks to their sleek, unobtrusive design, straight drop awnings are a popular choice for reducing glare and harsh sunlight on decks, patios and verandahs. Plus, you can easily roll them up into the provided roller or headbox at the top of the awning, making it easy to protect them from harsh weather like heavy rain and dust storms.

We use sturdy mesh fabrics to design straight drop awnings Newcastle, Port Stephens and other windy coastal areas can trust for long-lasting durability. This fabric effectively protects outdoor spaces from strong winds while still letting air travel through the material, perfect for everyday weather.

Plus, straight drop awnings add an additional feeling of height to any space and can make your outdoor areas appear taller. This is a subtle but effective way to add a spacious, comfortable feeling to your covered decks and pergolas.

Our straight drop awnings are made with durable, high-quality mesh that can stand up against everyday weather. However, as a general rule, all awnings should be retracted and rolled up during extreme weather conditions such as storms, heavy rain and strong winds.

Your straight drop awnings won’t be damaged if they get wet. However, it’s always a good idea to keep them retracted when it starts to rain in case conditions get worse.

If your awnings are wet, the best way to dry them is by extending them once the weather clears and letting them air dry. You can also dry them manually with a soft sponge or clean cloth. Retracting your wet awnings while damp will make them stay wet for longer.

Awnings have been used in homes for centuries, with the earliest recorded awnings used in Ancient Egypt. Canvas awnings became more common in the 18th century and were made with timber frames, which were eventually upgraded to metal piping during the industrial era.

The early 20th century saw the invention of retractable awnings in America and they soon became used worldwide. Awnings were quickly adopted in Australia because of our national passion for outdoor dining. An awning provides the perfect solution for reducing wind and dust when cooking outdoors — one of the best features for Australian homes today.
