Awnings NZ

What is an awning?

An awning is a roof-like cover that extends from the exterior walls of a house, providing coverage over doors, windows, and other outdoor areas. Available in various colours and styles, they can add an extra special touch to the look of your house. Quality weather-resistant awnings protect indoor furniture against sun damage and reduce heat gain in the summer, making energy costs lower. At the same time, they provide shade and shelter outdoors, keeping you dry from the rain as you're opening the door.

Fixed canopy awnings

Our fixed awning options provide you protection against the weather near doors and windows. With a virtually unbreakable frame made from solid polycarbonate plastic, these fixed awnings will stay up even with the strong wind blowing outside, giving you more coverage in any season. Find your perfect awning among our range of styles and sizes. We also stock a convenient joining kit for the Palram Aquila awning, which makes putting up multi-awning sets a breeze.

Retractable awnings

Our range of retractable awnings and canopies are perfect for providing much-needed shade from the sun, making relaxing outdoors all the more enjoyable. Available in stylish beige and graphite, these awnings for decks block out 90% of sunlight and 99% of UV rays to minimise glare and UV exposure. Control your desired level of shade with the user-friendly steel awning hand crank and maximise your comfort. All our sturdy roof canopies are easy to set up and are built to be corrosion-resistant, letting you enjoy the protection they offer for years to come.

How to choose the best awning for your needs

First, consider whether you need a retractable or fixed awning. Fixed awnings suit windows and doors, while retractable awnings provide shelter for larger areas. Then, consider the size of your awning, particularly if you plan to buy a retractable option, as these products have the most variance in dimensions. Finally, look at the design and colours of the awning to find what will best match your home's architectural style.

How to install your awning

To put up your DIY awning set, mark out a suitable installation location and assemble it according to the user manual in the product descriptions. You will need your own tools, such as an electric drill and wrench. For safety, we recommend that two people install the awning together.
