The first things we look at when choosing a new pergola or awning are usually its appearance and price. Yet there are few who think about how much work the maintenance will involve. No system can do without occasional care, as it has to withstand weather in all its forms, such as harsh sun, rain, and freezing temperatures, but also dust and pollen. And it will take its toll on it sooner or later.
We see awnings every day above the shop windows, in the gardens of cafes or on the facades of houses. They are a natural part of the urban environment, where they provide shade and visual protection.
Do you consider awnings just a decoration for restaurant patios? That would be a shame—awnings can beautifully shade both terraces and balconies. Are you interested in how they originated and what types exist?
