Imagine Monday afternoon at work and worrying about wind damage to your patio awning because it was left open over the weekend. You leave for work on a bright sunny day, and then an unexpected storm is forescast with wind gusts up to 50 mph, and it's expected to hit before quitting time.


















You have no worries with a wind sensor option from SolarusUSA. With our sensor, that awning left open will automatically retract to fully closed once the wind reaches 21 mph.

Many customers mistakenly think all awnings are fixed frame and don't move, yet advances in retractable awnings allow the owner to fully retract their awning. Manual cranks are one option, yet motorized retractable awnings allow push button ease. Add the wind sensor option and your awning is safe even when you're not home.

Contact us by email or call toll free to 877-702-1777 to learn more about shade solutions including the wind sensor option for retractable awnings.

When deciding on a retractable awning for your home or business, there's more to the equation than just price. Quality can make the difference in service life and overall cost if replacements are required often. Having the best awning materials including tubing, hardware, supports, and awning fabrics all add up to longer life and value for money.

SolarusUSA specializes in retractable awnings designed specifically for patio, deck, window, and cottage applications. Our awnings are manufactured with heavier materials to demanding specifications, and we offer higher quality motors for motorized retractable awnings. Performance is more important than just looking attractive, so readers are advised to avoid cheap imports based just on price.

This blog will feature advice for consumers including materials, applications, installation, news, shade, and example projects for residential and commercial retractable awnings. Return often, or email us from any page with questions.
