Retractable Awnings In Leawood
Retractable Awnings in Leawood, KS
Our Solar Shield Blinds Retractable Awnings give full shade over an uncovered terrace or pool deck, then roll back into a closed cassette against the wall. For the pool decks behind the homes near 143rd and Mission in Leawood, a motorized awning shades the table and the loungers at noon and disappears when you're done.
Where It Fits In Leawood
Where Retractable Awnings fit in Leawood
Pool decks, uncovered terraces and the flat patios behind the old Leawood ranches are where an awning gives full shade without changing the architecture of the house.
- Pool decks and patiosThe pool deck behind a home toward 151st has no roof by design. An awning off the house wall shades the table at noon and retracts for a swim at dusk.
- Terraces off mid century ranchesThe flat patio behind an old Leawood ranch near State Line sits in full sun. An awning shades it without a post in the yard or a roof that fights the low roofline.
- West facing glass doorsAn awning over the wide glass doors on the back of a home along Nall shades the terrace and the glass behind it, so the family room stops heating up in the afternoon.
- Homes where the look mattersA cassette awning disappears into a closed case against the wall when it's rolled in. Nothing changes the look of the house, which matters on a street where the houses are the design.
Worth Knowing
Pitch, the closed cassette, lighting, and when it comes in
A retractable awning gives full shade over an uncovered terrace or pool deck, and the cassette housing is what makes it right for a Leawood home. Rolled in, the fabric sits inside a closed case against the wall, so it stays dry and clean and the house looks the way the architect drew it. EZ-Pitch lets you change the angle with the included crank handle, dropping the front edge low for the evening sun across the neighbor's yard and raises it for the noon sun overhead. Every awning we install is motorized, and the built in LED lights under the arms are dimmable for dinners on the terrace.
The pool decks and terraces behind the homes south of 135th and the flat patios off the old Leawood ranches near State Line are the natural place for an awning, because both sit in full sun through the middle of the day. An awning mounts to the house wall above the doors and reaches out over the deck without a post in the yard, so the lawn stays open and the pool deck stays clear. Our Design Specialist measures the wall, checks the mount and the eave height, and brings the fabric samples to the terrace so you choose the color against the stone and the trim.
An awning is a shade, and it comes in for high wind and storms, so it's not the product for a terrace that needs to be closed in against weather, which is the job for our Exterior Patio Shades. A good rule for planning is 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, so an order in early spring has the deck shaded before the heat. The consultation is free, the itemized quote is written on the spot and held 180 days, our own full time Install Techs handle the mount, and the awning carries the Five Year Service Guarantee, so a defect in that time is fixed free.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Leawood homeowners
Not when it's rolled in. The cassette housing closes the fabric inside a case against the wall, so on a home in Leawood Estates or on a golf course lot the awning reads as a slim bar above the doors when retracted. The fabric comes in colors chosen against your stone and trim, and our Design Specialist brings the samples to the terrace.
Yes, with EZ-Pitch. Raise the front edge with the included crank handle for the noon sun overhead on the pool deck behind a home toward 151st, then drop it lower at six for the sun coming across the neighbor's yard. No tools and no ladder, and the motor and the LED lights both run from the remote.
No. An awning is a shade and comes in for high wind and thunderstorms, which is a real limit in Kansas. The cassette keeps the fabric dry and clean while it's in. For a terrace that should stay closed in through weather, Exterior Patio Shades in wind rated tracks are the right product, and we'll tell you which one your terrace needs.
Yes. Every one of our awnings comes standard with built in LED light strips under the arms, dimmable and controlled with an included remote, so the terrace is lit for dinner after sunset without a string of bulbs across the yard. On a terrace behind a home along Mission Road, the awning comes out at four for shade and the lights stay on for the evening.
The awning carries our Five Year Service Guarantee, so a defect in the first five years is fixed free, and our own full time Install Techs mount it, not a subcontractor. Our Design Specialist will go through the rest of the Carefree Guarantee line by line at the consultation so you know exactly what's covered before you order.
Yes. We carry 30 Sunbrella fabrics in stock and over 300 to choose from, and Sunbrella fabrics are made for harsh exterior conditions. They have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation's seal of approval as an effective UV light protection. Your Design Specialist brings the samples to your Leawood terrace so you choose the color against your stone and trim.
