How to configure your custom awning

In the configurator, enter the measurements of your space. Then choose fabric, color, and operating system: the price is calculated based on these choices and the measurements. If you have any questions, our free design service will help you define the measurements, fabric, and operating system. If one of the standard sizes matches your space, you can find our standard drop awnings, with a fixed price for each width.

Cable guides or zip guides

Outdoor roller blinds with side guides

With spring-tensioned cables, the fabric slides along two steel wires and stays taut even at mid-travel. No side profiles are needed, and the awning can be wall- or ceiling-mounted. With zip guides, the fabric edges remain enclosed within the guides along the full height, providing better side protection. If you need a custom pergola awning to close the sides of the structure, choose zip guides. Zip awnings are motorized, with a battery and solar panel included as standard.

Operation

Manual or motorized

Cable awnings are operated by hand, with the rod and self-locking winch that holds the awning at any height, or with a 12 V battery motor. The battery is recharged via the solar panel, so there is no need to run power cables outdoors. The manual version can be motorized even after purchase.

Zip awnings are always motorized.

Where it is installed

Under a balcony, in a pergola or on a veranda

The drop awning descends vertically and closes one side: it provides shade from the low sun in the morning and afternoon and, with Purishade® and Braidd5® fabrics, from neighbors' view. Cable awnings are wall- or ceiling-mounted, including under the balcony of the floor above, where a traditional arm awning would not have enough room to open.

When rolled up, they protrude approximately 3"–4", supports included, making them suitable even for narrow balconies. They are designed for DIY installation: two brackets at the top and two anchors at the bottom. Zip awnings are installed in the opening to be enclosed, with the two side rails fixed to the sides — for example, on the side of a pergola or veranda.

FAQ

What sizes can I order?

Cable awnings range from 3' 3" to 13' 1" in width and from 3' 3" to 9' 10" in height, with a maximum fabric size of 129.2 sq ft. Zip awnings range from 3' 3" × 3' 3" to 12' 9" × 9' 10".

How is the awning installed?

Cable awnings are mounted on a wall or ceiling, above the area to be covered, and must not be installed on the side, in a recess, or at an angle. They are designed for DIY installation: two brackets at the top and two anchors at the bottom. Wall plugs are not included. Zip awnings are installed in the opening to be enclosed, with the two side rails fixed to either side: two people and approximately three hours are required, and standard screws and wall plugs are included.

Can I enclose the side of a pergola with a made-to-measure awning?

Yes, with zip awnings: the two side rails are fixed to the pergola structure and the fabric remains enclosed in the guides along the full height. For aluminum pergolas, the structure must have a thickness of at least 0.059" at the fixing point.

Is the remote control included with the motorized version?

No, it is purchased separately, for both cable awnings and zip awnings. A single remote control can operate up to fifteen awnings.

Can I motorize a manual awning after purchase?

Yes, the manual cable awning can be motorized at any time by adding the motor as an accessory.

Al principio pensé que era complicado de instalar pero debo decir que las instrucciones son claras y al final fue fácil. Me tomó muy poco poner todo junto. (Traducido del idioma original) Read more Read less

Con cavetti laterali

Con cavetti laterali

Ottima soluzione con i cavetti laterali è possibile lasciare la tenda a metà altezza senza che sbatta con il vento. Molto soddisfatta della robustezza dei materiali. Read more Read less

Il tessuto Purishade è davvero coprente

Il tessuto Purishade è davvero coprente

Ero indeciso tra i due tipi di tessuto ma con i campioni è stato più semplice. La mia scelta è andata sul purishade poiché è impermeabile e mi da privacy al 100%. Read more Read less

Semplice e modulare

Semplice e modulare

Brava manta che ha è riuscita a realizzarla scomponibile. Dovevo portarla al terzo piano del condominio e un palo di oltre 3 metri sarebbe stato un problema! Bella anche la modularità, se nel tempo continua a soddisfarmi, credo acquisterò i motori con la batteria. Read more Read less

EasySwitch davvero utile

EasySwitch davvero utile

Non faccio mai recensioni ma loro lo meritano, l'idea di togliere il tessuto con uno strappo è ottima! Se si sporca lo si mette in lavatrice, se si vuole sostituire ci sono i teli di ricambio, se ti stanchi del colore lo cambi e per l'inverno ho sostituito il telo con il PVC, un inverno è trascorso perfettamente e ho trasformato il terrazzo in veranda!
