    • Outdoor entertaining areas
    • Patios and decks

    Why Choose Folding Arm Awnings

    Built for Harsh Australian Conditions

    Australian outdoor spaces demand durable materials and reliable engineering. Our folding arm systems are designed to perform in harsh Australian conditions, using quality components and weather-resistant fabrics.

    Options such as full cassette designs help protect the fabric and arms when retracted, extending the life of your awning.

    Made to Measure for a Precise Fit

    Every folding arm awning is made to measure to ensure smooth operation and a clean finish. During your in-home appointment, we assess your mounting surface, projection requirements, and sun exposure to deliver a tailored solution.

    Professional installation ensures correct alignment, secure fixing, and long-term performance.

    Designed for Everyday Convenience

    Folding arm awnings are ideal for patios, decks, and outdoor entertaining areas where flexibility matters. The articulated arms allow the canopy to extend smoothly, providing shade when the sun is strong, and retract fully to keep your space open.

    This makes them a practical option for homes that want shade without blocking views or access.

    Awnings Sensors Available

    Becker Motion Sensor

    Motion Sensor (Becker)

    Detects the movement of the awning fabric and automatically retracts the awning if the fabric begins to move too much. This can help to protect the awning from damage in windy conditions.

    Sun and Wind Sensor

    Sun & Wind Sensors

    This is a combined sensor that measures both level of sun as well as the level of wind. This type of sensor offers you the ultimate in automation allowing protection of furniture and reducing heating costs in your home.
    Rain Sensor

    Rain Sensor

    Rain sensor is ideal for situations where an awning cannot be installed with a steep pitch. An adequate pitch (angle) is essential to allow rain to run off the awning. If the angle is too shallow, rain pools on the awning and stretches the fabric.

    Product Care & Operating Instruction

    Motion and wind sensors are not a guaranty to protect your awning from damage, things like where the awning is installed how exposed it is all play a part, what is the sensitivity set on the sensor also these items have a delay to react it also takes time for the motor to fully retract if in doubt of the weather conditions you should not leave the awning out unattended.
