Retractable Awnings In Independence
Retractable Awnings in Independence, MO
Retractable Awnings turn an uncovered patio in Independence into a shaded place to sit. The concrete slab behind a postwar ranch and the deck off a newer two story out east both take full sun with no roof over them, and our Solar Shield Blinds motorized awnings put shade over the table and roll back in at the push of a button.
Where It Fits In Independence
Where retractable awnings fit in Independence
Slab patios behind the ranches, kitchen decks on the newer homes and back yards where the trees are still young all get shade from an awning without a roof or a post in the ground.
- Slab patios behind ranchesPlenty of postwar ranches have a concrete patio out back with nothing over it. An awning mounts to the house wall and shades it without a post in the yard.
- Decks on newer homesThe deck off the kitchen in a two story past Little Blue Parkway gets full sun with no roof. An awning over it makes an outdoor dining room.
- Young trees on newer lotsIn the newer subdivisions on the east side the trees haven't grown in yet. An awning gives you shade this summer and rolls back when you want sun.
- West facing kitchen glassShade over the patio door keeps the sun off the glass, so the kitchen behind it stays cooler too.
Worth Knowing
Shade over the patio, with features that come standard
An uncovered patio is common in Independence, behind a postwar ranch and behind a newer two story alike. A Retractable Awning shades it without building a roof. It extends over the patio for full shade in the heat of the day, mounts to the house with no posts, and rolls into its cassette when the evening cools or the weather turns. Our awnings are made to custom widths from 10 feet to 40 feet, with 8, 10 or 12 foot projections, so your Design Specialist sizes it to reach the table.
Every awning we install is motorized, and our Install Techs wire it to the closest outlet. EZ-Pitch lets you change the angle with the included crank handle, so you can drop the front edge when the evening sun gets low. The cassette housing closes around the fabric when it's rolled up and keeps it protected, and dimmable LED lights under the arms come standard with their own remote. Choose from over 300 Sunbrella fabrics, three frame colors at no extra charge, and a straight or sea wave valance.
Sun and light rain are what an awning handles, so it rolls in once the wind gets up, and a wind sensor will do that without you. For a covered space closed against wind, rain and bugs, Exterior Patio Shades are the better product. Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, your quote is held for 180 days, and every awning carries our Five Year Service Guarantee as part of the Carefree Guarantee.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Independence homeowners
Yes. The awning mounts to the house wall above the patio door and extends over the slab with no posts or footings in the yard. Behind a postwar ranch it's the quickest way to make the back of the house usable in July.
Yes. Every awning we install is motorized and runs from a remote, because our awnings are heavy and project a long way from the house, so a hand crank for extending them isn't advised. The crank handle that comes with it is only for adjusting EZ-Pitch.
Yes, with EZ-Pitch. Lower the front edge with the crank handle to block the low evening sun, and raise it again at midday.
Yes. Dimmable LED light strips under the arms come standard on every Solar Shield Blinds Retractable Awning, with their own remote, so dinner on the patio doesn't end at sunset.
Yes, with the city's approval first. Exterior alterations to a property in the Truman Heritage District go to the Independence Heritage Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness, so check with the city's Historic Preservation office before you order. Your Design Specialist can give you the size, frame color and fabric details for that application.
Awnings run 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and our crew schedules your install as soon as yours comes in. A spring consultation puts shade over the patio before July, and your quote holds for 180 days.
