Porch and deck awnings have become popular with homeowners for not only helping to reduce cooling costs in summer, but also for extending the usability of the area over which the device is installed. Summer heat can make enjoying a deck or patio unbearable in some areas of the country. A professionally installed awning can add value to the home and make those peak times of summer days more enjoyable. Installing a home awning can prove to be a terrific investment. Before you decide and install your porch, patio or deck awning, there are a few things you should know.
Fixed or Retractable?
Awnings generally come in two separate varieties: fixed or retractable. The main difference between retractable and fixed frame awnings is the capacity for movement. A fixed frame awning functions as a more permanent structure. It will provide continual weather protection and is always present for continual and uninterrupted shade and cover. A retractable awning offers movement due to spring-loaded arms that support the awning and provides the option of sun or shade. If full weather protection is desired, a fixed awning may be the way to go.
Businesses and retail locations often use fixed awnings for signage and for protection from the elements over entrances and exits. For the home, a retractable one is a perfect choice because it allows for the homeowner to extend and retract the awning as needed. It can be retracted either manually or automatically using a remote control or on/off switch. Retractable devices are very convenient and provide a considerable amount of control for the homeowner of how and when it is used.
Choosing Colors and Fabrics
Awning manufacturers now offer a wide variety of fabrics and colors that go in their products. It is best to choose a high quality grade of fabric. The difference in price between high and low quality fabrics does not justify investing in a cheaper fabric grade. As with most consumer items, the old adage “you get what you pay for” rings true here as well. Heavy fabrics will resist fading easier than light or cheaper grades. Fabrics manufacturer’s warranties should span at least five years, and with good maintenance and care, their lifespan should prove to be much longer. Metal frames should come with lifetime warranties. Be sure to choose a color for your awning that will suitably match the exterior of your home.Â
Homeowner’s Associations Rules and Bylaws
If you are homeowner or condominium owner that is part of an association, always check to make sure that installing an awning will not violate association rules or bylaws. Because awnings are energy savers and tend to reduce energy cooling costs, most homeowners’ associations are generally receptive to the idea of installing one, provided it is an attractive addition to the building. You may have to request permission in writing and provide exact details of fabric color, size and the manner in which it will be installed.
Installation Tips
When deciding on the company that will install your new awning, a little research and due diligence will go a long way in making the job easier. It is suggested that you look for a company that is an active member of the Professional Awning Manufacturers Association. Ask for references, and if possible, visit homes that have had awnings installed by the provider you are considering. Most reputable firms will keep a photographic portfolio of the work they have done in the past. Talk to the homeowners to get personal feedback about their experiences with the company you are interviewing. Lastly, if you plan on installing your retractable awning yourself, be sure to have a back up installation plan just in case your good efforts do not produce the results that you previously anticipated.Â

The rear side light broke off. Red plastic cover and bulb, I’m trying to look for the part, But no success. I’m trying the web and install myself. Also, the awning ripped off from high winds. Ripped about half at the very top. Can this be repaired, does it have to be replaced?
