Technical Advice
These are just some of the the
points that we consider within our FREE
initial survey quotation.
What is the recommended size
for an awning?
Depending on your property we normally recommend
that your awning is at least 500mm wider on each
side than the area that you are trying to shade,
with as deep as projection as possible. Popular
awning sizes range from 3.0m wide x 2.5m
projection to 6.0m wide x 4.0m projection, or even larger.

Where will the
awning fit on your wall?
We can install
your awning at virtually any
point, but consider if you will be able to
walk underneath and open any doors or
windows when the awning is extended. We
normally recommend that your awning is
fitted at least 2.4m above ground level and
when extended the front of the awning
should be approx. 1.9m above ground level.
What if there isn't
enough room for an awning?
We have years of experience installing
awnings that require custom
designed brackets, so that
virtually any property can have a
well-proportioned awning, irrespective of
how low a bungalow roof is, how many pipes
are in the way on the wall, or however
narrow the available wall may be. Our
factory trained sales staff can normally suggest
a practical solution. |

What is the min/max size for an awning?
Awning arms need to be 500mm shorter than the
overall width of the awning so that they can fold
back inside the cassette, although there are
awnings with crossover arms to overcome this
limitation. Arms are available in 500mm increments
and should be as deep as possible for maximum
shade.
