They have a strong powder coated aluminium frame with retractable arms containing coated steel cables. Full cassette awnings are the strongest of all our awnings.

would you like any accessories - a spare cover, winter storage bag, or wind, sun and rain sensor?

Our range at a glance

We sell three models - standard awnings without cassette, half cassette awnings and full cassette awnings.

Our standard awnings without cassette are all manual. The half cassette and full cassette awnings are available as manual or electric.

What size awnings do you want?

Our awnings come in standard sizes as follows:

Width	Maximum Projection
2.0m (6ft 3")	1.5m (4ft 9")
2.5m (8ft 2")	2.0m (6ft 7")
3.0m (9ft 10")	2.0m (6ft 7") or 2.5m (8ft 2") depending on colour/style
3.5m (11ft 6")	2.5m (8ft 2")
4.0m (13ft)	3.0m (9ft 8")
4.5m (14ft 7")	3.0m (9ft 8")
5.0m (16ft 4")	3.0m (9ft 8")

The standard awnings are available in all widths from 2.0m to 4.5m. The half cassette awnings are available in all widths from 2.5m to 4.5m. The full cassette awnings are available in all widths from 2.5m to 5.0m.

What style do you want? (And what is your budget)?

The main difference in style is the cassette. The cassette is the casing into which the awning retracts – half cassette awnings have a 'half' cassette which sits on top of the fabric roll, thereby protecting it from rain and dirt. The valence does not retract back into the cassette. Full cassette awnings have a 'full cassette' – the awning retracts completely back into the cassette and is therefore fully protected against the elements.

Standard awnings have no cassette – they are our least expensive awning, with prices starting at £99.95 for a 2 metre. Half cassette awnings start at £179.95 for a 2.5 metre. Full cassette awnings start at £349.95 for a 2.5 metre.

Full cassette awnings are significantly more expensive than the other models. In general they are a heavier duty model, able to withstand 'robust' use. As well as residential use, they are ideal for commercial use in shops and pubs etc.

Manual versus electric

All three styles - standard, half cassette and full cassette - are available as manual only awnings. They are operated by a winding handle on the side of the awning (see picture).

In addition our half and full cassette awnings are available as electric awnings. In general, an electric awning costs between £75 and £100 more than the same model without a motor, depending on whether you want operation by wall switch only, or by wall switch and remote control. Including a wind sensor will add a further £75.

How are the electric awnings operated?

The awnings can be operated by a wall switch or by remote control. We offer the following options – the price depends on the option selected. Please note that not every option is available on every awning – see the individual product details to confirm the available options.

Option 1: Awning with indoor wall switch only.
Option 2: Awning with remote control kit containing a receiver box and two remote controls. Fix the receiver box to a wall indoors. The remotes are radio controlled and can be operated indoors and outdoors. The receiver box also has its own switch.
Option 3: Awning with remote control kit as above and a wind, sun and rain sensor. The wind, sun and rain sensor opens the awning automatically when the sun comes out and closes it automatically in high winds.

The remote control receiver box can be mounted externally by purchasing our waterproof housing.
Some awnings include a winding handle for use in the event of a failure in the power supply.
