Batten Awnings
Batten awnings are a type of awning that is made with timber battens at the top and bottom. They are operated by rope and pulley around the bottom roller and roll from the bottom as they are raised.
Batten awnings are available in a variety of colors, sizes, and styles. They can be made with a sloping top to allow for total coverage on sloping verandahs. They can also be linked with zippers to make them ideal for outdoor dining areas.
Batten awnings are a popular choice for homeowners and businesses because they are affordable, easy to install, and provide excellent protection from the sun and rain. They are also a great way to add curb appeal to your home or business.
Apollo Blinds offers a wide selection of batten awnings to choose from. They are made with high-quality materials and are backed by a warranty. If you are looking for a durable and affordable awning, then a batten awning from Apollo Blinds is a great option.
