Awnings Canberra — Smarter Shade for ACT Homes & Cafe

    Canberra’s four distinct seasons call for awnings that work hard year-round. At Apollo Blinds Canberra, we design, measure, and install solutions that handle bright summer UV, brisk winter mornings, and gusty days around Lake Burley Griffin—without blocking the outlook you love.

    Awnings

    What makes a great awning in Canberra?

    • Orientation matters: extra projection for west-facing glass, lighter fabrics for south-facing rooms.

    • Thermal comfort: fabrics that cut heat in summer and reduce overnight heat loss in winter.

    • Wind-aware hardware: sturdier arms, guided systems, and optional sensors for blustery afternoons.

    • Compliance & aesthetics: neat bracketry and colours that suit everything from mid-century brick to new townhouses.

    Automatic Awnings

    Automatic awnings are a versatile choice for controlling shade throughout the day. They can be fitted close to windows or extended for extra coverage.

    Close-fitting awnings that ride neatly down the side guides and lock where you stop. Great for inner-south terraces in Kingston or Griffith where you want shade plus airflow at the sill. Set-and-forget reliability with minimal visual bulk.

    Give your frontage in Civic, Braddon, or Manuka a cooler interior and a clearer view for customers. Sized to your façade with room for branding so you cut glare without killing kerb appeal.

    Project out on sturdy arms so hot air escapes at the top of the window—ideal for upper storeys in Belconnen and Woden Valley. Angle the fabric to dial in shade while keeping natural ventilation.

    For cladded or fibro exteriors across Tuggeranong and Gungahlin, this variant combines a tidy profile with firm hold in breezy conditions. A tough everyday performer when you need shade that stays put.

    Guided side rails steady the fabric on taller openings—handy for apartment stacks in Turner or Barton. Add motorisation for smooth daily use and easier control on upper levels.

    Switch between a more open stance in winter sun and deeper cover in summer. A flexible choice for family homes in Weston Creek where seasons (and needs) change fast.

    Heavy-duty arms and manual gear control suit broad windows or patio doors in Kambah and Kaleen. Upgrade to motorisation and weather sensors for set-and-forget convenience.

    Outdoor Blinds – Straight Drop Awnings

    Outdoor blinds provide vertical coverage that’s ideal for enclosing patios, balconies, or café seating areas.

    A streamlined guided system for a clean, contemporary look—perfect for courtyards in Deakin and Curtin. Smooth operation, tidy cassette options, and reliable side control keep decks usable on bright days.

    Create a still, comfortable alfresco room in Garran, Hughes, or Kingston. Side-sealed tracks help block wind, light rain, and UV while keeping the view of the garden. Brilliant for extending the outdoor season without building walls.

    Simple lines, solid shade. Popular on verandas in Chifley and Nicholls, with tie-downs or straps to keep fabric stable when the breeze picks up.

    Budget-minded straight-drop coverage for everyday spaces in Wanniassa and Holt. Practical materials and sizes without the premium price tag.

    Stainless wire guides steady the drop on balconies and upper-storey windows in O’Connor or Fadden. Keeps fabric tracking true when it’s a bit blowy.

    Manual crank control that just works. A reliable, serviceable option for backyard patios across Spence and Franklin.

    Fixed Awnings

    Fixed awnings give permanent protection and are built to handle coastal weather.

    All-weather shelter for Braddon and Kingston hospitality strips—consistent shade over footpath dining without cluttering the space.

    Add a bit of architecture while protecting entries and windows. Suits character streets in Ainslie and Griffith where profile and proportion matter.

    Hard-wearing, low-maintenance protection for Belconnen, Tuggeranong, and Gungahlin. A durable shield against high UV and winter frost, with colours to match your scheme.

    Folding Arm Awnings

    Folding arm awnings extend out when you need shade, then retract neatly when you don’t.

    Throw instant shade over the deck for lunch, then retract to enjoy winter sun. A clean, post-free solution for alfresco areas in Curtin, Red Hill, and Harrison, available with pitch adjustment and motorised control.

    Built for ACT conditions

    We specify UV-rated, mildew-resistant fabrics, powder-coated hardware, and fixings suited to local wind exposure. That means longer-lasting colour, smoother operation, and less maintenance across the seasons.

    Installed with care

    Good awnings start with accurate measurement. Our Canberra team checks clearances, selects the right brackets and fixings, and commissions everything on site—so your awning runs smoothly from day one and keeps doing so for years.
