A retractable awning is an awning that is designed to be attached to the side of a structure, such as a house, commercial building, garage, or roof, and it is used as-needed. When open, the awning filters out the sun and creates a shaded area.
With the push of a button or a twist of the crank, the retractable awning is extended and retracted. A retractable awning is a great option for providing shade when you need it while allowing you to retract it when you would prefer the sunshine.
