Three tips for buying a side awning
Choose a material that is water-repellent and UV-resistant. There are also awnings that are completely waterproof, although they are not as common and often more expensive. Many awnings are made of acrylic and polyester, which are durable materials.
-
Acrylic withstands strong sunlight without fading, keeping its appearance over time. When choosing an acrylic awning, look at how much light it lets through. It's measured on a scale from 1 to 8 – the lower the number, the more light is transmitted.
-
Polyester withstands wear and tear without ripping, even though it's woven thinly. However, it does not withstand the sun’s rays as acrylic does.
-
Screen fabric is sparsely woven, so that light shines through. It also allows you to see through the awning.
We recommend spin-dyed materials, which improves durability. The thread is dyed before it's spun. Material that is dyed after the fact will only be on the outer part of the thread, making it fade faster.
-
A fixed foot makes the awning extra stable, as it stays in the same place at all times.
-
A movable foot allows you to move the awning if, for example, you want to angle it in different directions.
-
A handle allows you to choose when you want your wind or sun protection – just reel in the awning when the wind stops or the sun goes down.
If you live somewhere it's particularly windy, you might want to know a bit more what to consider for awnings and heavy wind.
