Retractable Awnings In Gardner
Retractable Awnings in Gardner, KS
A Retractable Awning gives a Gardner patio real shade with no roof to build. Plenty of newer Gardner houses have a slab or a deck out back and young trees that won't shade it for years, and our Solar Shield Blinds motorized awnings shade the table and roll back in at the push of a button.
Where It Fits In Gardner
Where a retractable awning fits in Gardner
An awning suits any Gardner back yard where a permanent roof is more than the house needs: a new slab, a deck off the kitchen, or a patio below a slider.
- New slab patiosA slab poured with a new house sits in full sun. Bolted to the back wall, an awning reaches over it and leaves the lawn free of posts.
- Decks off the kitchenTilt the front edge down with EZ-Pitch as the sun sinks, and level it back out for lunch.
- Sliders facing westAn awning over the slider keeps direct sun off the door glass, which helps the kitchen as much as the patio.
- Yards that want the sun sometimesRoll the awning back for a cool spring morning and run it out again when July arrives.
Worth Knowing
Width, pitch, cassette housing and lighting
A retractable awning gives full shade over an uncovered patio or deck, mounts to the house with no posts, and rolls back in on the days you want sun. That suits a newer Gardner yard where the trees are young and a roof over the patio wasn't part of the build. Each awning is built to a custom width anywhere from 10 to 40 feet and reaches out 8, 10 or 12 feet, so your Design Specialist can size the shade to cover the table and the grill.
EZ-Pitch changes the angle with the included crank handle, with no tools and no ladder, so the shade lands on the chairs when the sun is low. The cassette housing closes around the fabric when it's rolled in, keeping it dry through a Kansas winter and away from birds and insects. Dimmable LED lights under the arms come standard with their own remote, and every awning we install is motorized and wired to the nearest outlet. The fabric is Sunbrella, with 30 colors on the shelf and more than 300 by order.
An awning is built for sun and light rain, and it comes in when the wind picks up, which a wind sensor can do for you on an open Gardner lot. The Five Year Service Guarantee comes with every awning under the Carefree Guarantee, and the price on your quote stays put for 180 days. For planning, figure 6 to 8 weeks from order to install. Our own Install Techs mount the awning, adjust the pitch with you and leave nothing behind but the shade.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Gardner homeowners
Yes. The frame bolts to the wall over your patio door and extends across the concrete, so nothing touches the ground. On a new Gardner lot where the trees are still small, it's the quickest way to make the patio usable in July.
Wind is the one thing an awning shouldn't sit out in, so we add a wind sensor that brings it home on a gusty afternoon whether or not you're there. Rolled in, the fabric sits inside the closed cassette and out of the weather.
Yes, with EZ-Pitch. Crank the front edge down when the sun sits low in the west, and back up when it's overhead. If your patio faces west, expect to use it every evening.
Yes. Each Solar Shield Blinds Retractable Awning has dimmable LED strips on the underside of its arms, run from a separate remote, which turns the patio into a lit room after sundown.
Figure 6 to 8 weeks between ordering and install, and our crew schedules you as soon as the awning lands. With 180 days on the quote, you can place the order in winter and have shade by summer.
Yes. Retractable Awnings carry our Five Year Service Guarantee, along with the 180 day price hold, the 30 day window to swap a product, and Life Happens coverage for one accident within five years.
