Patio awnings for shade you can open and close.

A patio awning gives you a shaded place to sit in summer and tucks neatly away when you want the sun. We measure, supply and fit retractable awnings for patios, decking and garden doors across Derby, Nottingham and Burton-upon-Trent.

Patio awnings fitted by Raynesway Blinds

Good for

  • Shade over a patio or decking
  • Keeping a south-facing room cooler
  • Protecting furniture from the sun

What to know before you choose

  • Manual or motorised

    A manual awning is wound out with a handle. A motorised awning runs from a remote or wall switch, and some can be paired with sun and wind sensors.

  • Choosing the size

    The width and how far it projects depend on your wall, your seating area and how the sun moves. We measure and talk it through at the survey.

  • Fabric and colour

    Weather-resistant fabrics come in a wide range of plain and striped colours. We bring samples to your home at the survey so you can see them against your property.

  • Fixing

    The awning is fixed to a suitable wall or fascia. We check the surface at the survey and tell you what is needed.

Patio awnings questions

Do I need planning permission for a patio awning?

Often not for a home, but it depends on the property and location. We can advise at the survey.

Can I leave the awning out in the rain?

Awnings are designed to shed light rain, but retract them in strong wind, heavy rain and snow.

How do I look after it?

Brush it clean and wash it gently once or twice a year. Our free awning care guide explains how.
