What is an Awning?
An awning is a structure made of fabric and a frame that provides shade and shelter from the weather. Awnings are typically attached to the exterior of a building over a window, door, or patio.
The main purpose of an awning is to provide shade and protection from the sun and precipitation. Awnings create covered outdoor living spaces and help control temperatures indoors and outdoors. They provide shade that helps keep patios, decks, windows, and entryways cooler and prevent glare and heat gain inside the home or building.

Brackets
Awning brackets attach the awning frame securely to a wall or ceiling. These brackets provide a mounted base for the retractable mechanism to operate and the housing to be installed. Our brackets are made of durable materials to allow smooth extension and retraction.
Canvas
The awning canvas provides the actual fabric cover that creates shade.Our awning canvas is made of weather-resistant, UV-protectant Sunbrella Fabric. The quality can’t be beat! VP Shade Solutions awning canvas is durable, fade-resistant, and mold-resistant.
Lights
All of our awnings come equipped with lights to provide illumination at night. Our awning lights are located along the underside of the canopy so you can spend time in your shaded oasis long into the evening after the sun has set.
Frame
The awning frame provides the strong support structure for the fabric cover and retractable mechanism. Our awning frames are made with an extruded, powder-coated aluminum that won’t rust for maximum durability. The frame allows the awning to be mounted and provides stability when you open and close the mechanism.
Front Bar
An awning front bar, also called a roller bar, is a horizontal bar at the front edge of the awning that holds the canvas taut when extended. Front bars have articulating joints to allow for pitch adjustment. Our front bars are rust resistant and stabilize the fabric so you never have to worry about a droopy awning.
Cassette Housing
The awning cassette is a protective aluminum casing that shields the roll-up fabric from the elements, ensuring durability. At VP Shade Solutions, all our retractable awnings feature full integrated cassettes, offering maximum protection and extending their lifespan.
Motor
The motor powers the smooth operation of retractable awnings, ensuring effortless extension and retraction. At VP Shade Solutions, we use high-quality motors for reliable, long-lasting performance, enhancing the convenience and functionality of your awning system.
