RETRACTABLE AWNINGS

Retractable awnings are very popular in the Pacific Northwest because they give the best of both worlds.  On those bright sunny days, the awning stretches out to create a shaded environment.  When it is no longer needed, a flip of the switch pulls the awning back to the wall where it stays out of the way and allows all the natural light to come in.

Some of the popular uses include covering a patio area for outdoor picnics or entertaining in your backyard.  It is useful during those bright sunny days, and protects you from the elements if it rains or drizzles.  Those mild temperature days don't have to keep you indoors any longer.

Retractable awnings are also popular over picture windows when you need to keep the sun from glaring in during part of the day.  An electric winch is an option that lets you move in and out of the shade with the push of a button.
