adding a beautiful awning over your deck or a stand alone gazebo near your pool is the perfect way to cool off in the summer and add value to your home. deck awnings can be either stationary or retractable. stationary awnings are typically enjoyed by the homeowner for three seasons, with the material removed, folded and stored by us for the winter. retractable awnings are owner operated after installation, and are available with options such as motorized deployment (with or without a remote), and wind, rain and sun sensors.
