Flexible Shade, Designed for Peninsula Conditions

They extend to provide instant shade or retract to maintain open views and clean architectural lines. Choose from standard, semi-cassette and fully enclosed cassette systems for the level of protection that suits your home.
Standard folding arm – versatile, ideal for most outdoor areas
Semi-cassette – a sleeker front profile that offers partial mechanism protection
Full cassette – the fabric and arms are fully enclosed when retracted, perfect for exposed coastal sites
Heavy-duty/commercial - increased strength and larger projections for wide spans or business use

Frequently Asked Questions
How much wind can a folding arm awning handle?
Folding arm awnings are designed for shade, not high-wind conditions. We recommend retracting your awning when winds pick up. For added safety, many homeowners choose to include a wind sensor that automatically retracts the awning if gusts become too strong (motorised unit).
Do folding arm awnings need support posts?
No - the arms project outward independently, keeping your outdoor space open and unobstructed.
How much shade do folding arm awnings provide?
Shade coverage depends on the projection (how far the awning extends). We offer a range of projections to suit different outdoor areas - from small courtyards to large alfresco spaces - ensuring ample shade exactly where you need it.
Is motorisation worth considering?
Yes - most clients find it easier and more convenient, especially on larger awnings.
What maintenance do the folding arm awnings require?
Maintenance is minimal. Fabrics are designed to resist fading, mould and UV damage, and mechanisms simply require occasional cleaning to remove salt, dust or debris - especially in coastal areas.
