Our luxury awnings are crafted using high quality fabric, treated to prevent fading. Any sunny day is ideal awning weather, as it will provide shade from the sun's rays not only for you but for your furniture and soft furnishings. Built-in vibration sensors can retract your awning if there is any indication of wind, but as with any outdoor feature you should always use common sense and keep an eye on the weather. Awnings need to be manually retracted if it rains and extended fully to allow them to dry when the rain has stopped.
Pergola awnings offer the same sun protection, and also need to be retracted if it rains, then extended to help them dry. Because pergola awnings offer the benefit of legs they're more stable, so they don't require vibration sensors and will only need retracting in high winds, although you can opt for a wind sensor upgrade which will do this automatically, again with the same common sense approach.
