If your awning has a full cassette, meaning it is completely covered when it is retracted, it is going to be better protected from the elements when not in use. A half cassette will protect the awning from dust and light rain, but you will want to take it down when the weather turns because it won’t be very well protected. It’s available in two different sizes: 2.5 x 2 m, and 3 x 2.5 m, both of which are generally suitable for small/medium patios.

Instructions for changing the awning fabric: Choosing the right fabric is another important part of selecting an awning, both in terms of style and comfort. Three types of materials are commonly used. You’ll also need to think about the awning’s angle. The best garden awning will have an adjustable angle (from 5° to around 30°/40°), providing adequate shade whatever the sun’s position. Installation is relatively straight forward, although the screws require a 14 mm drill bit – bigger than your standard drill! This may require borrowing or renting a masonry drill, depending on what you already have in your toolbox. Two people are required for installation, simply due to the size and weight or the awning.

Like others I’ve recommended, this awning is easy to project and retract using a winding crank. Once installed, the hand crank is positioned at a good height (approx. 1m from the ground) which allows for good grip and leverage. A full-cassette awning is an enclosed awning, where the fabric and the arms are stored in an encompassing cassette when retracted. That provides complete protection against wind and heavy rain, so you can enjoy your pristine awning for many years. A side awning can also provide protection from the wind and UV rays. These screens can also be used as decoration. Try to look for an awning with waterproof canopy fabric. Although awnings shouldn’t be used in really heavy showers (large puddles forming on the awning will likely damage it), they can generally protect you from some rain. Knowing our UK summers, it’s always a good idea to have this protection so that you don’t worry about it; buy an awning which states it is waterproof. The projection must also be correctly calculated as this determines the depth of the shadow cast on the ground. For example, an awning with a 2.5-metre projection offers a shade depth of 1.2 metres in full sunlight compared to 2.3 metres for a model with a 3.5-metre projection.Also known as patio canopies, these awnings are installed over exterior walls to provide shade.

They can be opened and closed easily and smoothly using the winding handle on the left hand side (see pictures to the right). The awning can be opened as much or as little as you like up to the maximum projection. The specially designed elliptical arms are adjustable to enable you to alter the slope of the awning from almost horizontal to a relatively steep tilt of approximately 35 degrees from the horizontal. The aluminium front bar ensures the fabric hangs smoothly. The polyester canopy fabric is PU coated, making it water resistant, and it has some UV resistance as well. It’s also available in a range of colours to suit your garden – whether you prefer something dark, light, striped or plain.
