Retractable Awnings - Air Conditioning For Your Patio!It just doesn't make sense to have a nice porch, patio or deck then have to wait till the sun starts to go down to be able to enjoy and make use of the area. By adding a motorized retractable awning you have full use of that patio anytime you choose. I don't know about you but I like to call the shots around my home and not be intimidated by the sun or rain. I want it my way! Retractable awnings usually come in both manual and motorized models. The manual is just what the name suggests. You take down the supports and the shade retracts. With the motorized models you simply flip a switch or hit the remote button and the awning retracts on its own. Either way there is a minimum of work involved. Manually it takes a couple of minutes to take down the supports and stow them away while with the remote you just hit the button and it retracts by itself. I here you saying it's still hot during the middle of the day! I will be the first to admit that it's hot during the middle of the day - down here in Florida it's hot morning, noon and at night during the summer months. Back in Illinois where I grew up they used to say that on a hot, humid day in the summer you can go to the corn field and hear the corn growing. Down in South Florida you can here the corn growing anytime of day except that it's too hot for corn to grow down here in the summer.

The great thing about retractable awnings is that with the right multilayer fabric being used for the awning it can be up to twenty degrees cooler under the awning than it is on the outside. That's a lot of difference! Twenty degrees cooler is lemonade sipping weather on a lazy old Sunday afternoon. Throw some ribs or chicken on the grill, a nice cold drink and welcome to Sunday afternoon summer style. Most retractable awnings are easily installed or you can hire a local handyman to install them for you. It usually takes about a couple of hours from start to finish to install them. The company that we recommend has a toll free installation hot line to walk you through any problems you might have. They have helped thousands of homeowners install their awnings themselves, successfully and hassle-free.
