Patio awnings

British weather is notoriously unpredictable. One minute you could be sunbathing on your wooden lounger and the next, running inside with your towel over your head to avoid a shower! A patio awning is the perfect solution for every garden. It is a functional and stylish addition to your patio. sweeek has an elegant range of awnings for patios that will transform the way you spend time outdoors. Enjoy dining al fresco without the sun beating down on you or the fear of a sudden downpour. Open your awning canopy in the morning and savour that first cup of coffee with a view. If you are looking for a more substantial form of shade, discover our contemporary pergolas and gazebos!

OUR ADVICE

During the summer months, there is nothing better than opening up windows, conservatory and patio doors, and letting in the warm breeze. The smell of barbecues and freshly cut grass transport you to a state of absolute bliss. You can relax on your favourite armchair or play an animated game of cards with your friends on your patio shaded by a classic, beige garden canopy.

Awnings are clever contraptions dating back to Egyptian civilisations. Although they might seem like a basic item, every awning is linked to the network of awnings that provided shade for a third of the Colosseum. After centuries of adaptations, we can now customise canopies in numerous ways and for various situations. Our patio awnings can be fixed to concrete or brick walls, and to a hardwood support using the supplied fixing kit. We also have a modern, freestanding awning for an even more practical form of shade.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A FREESTANDING AWNING

Our freestanding awning is a tempting alternative to our high-quality parasols. It functions in a similar way to a parasol in that it is portable and is supported by base weights. A freestanding awning offers increased stability and provides a marked space for setting up your garden table. It opens on both sides and covers a large area. Quality fabric and a robust structure means that our freestanding awning is weather-resistant and sturdy. On a sunny day, you can put down a blanket under the awning and your children can play with their toys or splash around in a paddling pool protected from the sun. Our awning will be a modern statement in your garden. Its sleek valance and understated, grey colour is easily adapted to any garden decor.

HOW TO USE YOUR AWNING

Using our garden awnings is straightforward and they are designed to make life easier for you. With the assistance of a crank handle, you can open and close the patio canopy quickly and retract it as needed. The durable, retractable arms under the canopy ensure that there is enough tension keeping your awning taut and straight when it is open. You can adjust the angle of your canopy using two adjustment screws.

Aside from the technical aspects of assembling and operating your patio awning, you can take some time to think about the kind of ambience you want to establish on your patio. Having a canopy is a great place to start as it creates a feeling of intimacy and brings warmth to your outdoor space. Turn your patio into an area for relaxing and celebrating special occasions. A rustic, wooden, garden table set with cushioned chairs would set an inviting tone. Consider using outdoor lighting to your advantage by putting LED lights on your patio. Once you have finished decorating your patio, you will have a unique place in your garden that is fully equipped with everything you need for those outdoor moments.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining a patio awning is made easier by being able to remove the fabric. When the awning is not in use, you can simply remove the fabric, fold it, and store it in your garage or home. The fabric has a protective coating to resist UV rays, weathering, and tearing. The structure of our awnings is made from durable materials such as aluminium. Aluminium is known for its strength and resistance to the elements.

If you prefer the portability and compact size of a parasol, our parasols are easy to maintain and contain many of the same materials used for our awnings. We have various models perfect for terraces, gardens, and small balconies. Our parasols are easy to use and are available in many different colours. You can extend the lifespan of your parasol using parasol accessories such as a protective cover or replacement crank.
