Folding-arm retractable awnings in Almeria
Out when the sun hits, back against the wall when it doesn't.
The classic terrace awning: the fabric rolls onto a tube fixed to the wall and two folding arms push it out. You may know it as a retractable awning, a folding-arm awning or a patio awning — it's the same thing.
If the arms tuck away out of sight when it's closed, it's a hidden-arm awning; if the fabric and arms close into a box, it's a cassette awning. We fit them across Almeria; every photo on this page is our own work.
Over the porch and terrace
Fixed to the front of the house, above the porch or terrace. Open, it shades the whole seating area; closed, it barely takes any space.
Patios and town houses
Also in inner patios and town houses: shade in summer, light in winter. Open it or close it as the sun moves.
Hidden-arm awnings
Same folding arms, but when closed they stay out of sight, so the awning looks much neater on the front of the house.
Manual or motorised
Operated with a crank handle or with a motor and remote control. With a motor we can add a wind sensor so it closes by itself when it gets gusty.

Frequently asked questions
Is a retractable awning the same as a folding-arm awning?
Yes. Different names for the same awning: fabric on a wall-mounted roller, pushed out by folding arms.
Can it be motorised?
Yes, with a remote control, and with a wind sensor so it retracts by itself.
Do you come and measure?
Yes. We visit, measure the wall or the opening and check where it can be fixed. Then we send you the quote.
How much does it cost?
We don't publish prices: it depends on size, type and fabric. You get the price in your quote, after we measure.

Shade sails
A shade sail is a fabric sheet fixed by its corners to posts or to the wall. It gives shade without a roof structure: over a patio, a play area or by the pool. If you are interested, tell us about the spot and we will look at it when we measure.
