MOTORIZED AWNINGS

Open-Roll Style

A great choice for covered patios and sheltered spaces, offering a clean, low-profile look. The open design allows for easy service access while providing dependable shade and practical protection in protected areas, making it an attractive and cost-effective solution for comfortable outdoor living.

Discover the Shade Sense Outdoor Difference

Our awnings make outdoor comfort accessible to every lifestyle, combining smart innovation, dependable performance, and stylish design.

Advanced Solar Control

Adjustable shading and UV protection for greater comfort and improved curb appeal.

Project-Specific Configurability

Custom sizes, fabrics, and finishes fit a wide range of applications.

Enhanced Structural Durability

Corrosion-resistant components provide long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Comprehensive Warranty

Backed by extensive manufacturer warranties, giving you added confidence and long-term peace of mind.

Integrated Control & Safety Systems

Optional lighting and smart controls support automation, safety, and easier management.

Optimized Performance & Value

Advanced design and quality materials deliver strong performance at competitive pricing.

High-Strength Hardware

Features a sleek, straight design that omits integrated electronics. It uses the same high-strength arm system and heavy-duty front bar found in our flagship models.

The optional hood offers about 50% coverage when retracted. This protects the fabric from UV damage and debris.

Manual Override & Crank Pitch

The integrated manual override ensures control during power outages, while the manual crank pitch allows for precise slope adjustments to track the sun.
