Where It Fits In Lee's Summit
Where retractable awnings fit in Lee's Summit
Uncovered patios in the newer subdivisions, decks that never got a roof, and west facing kitchen glass all get shade without a permanent structure.
- Uncovered patios in newer homesMany newer homes in New Longview and Stoney Creek came with a concrete patio and no cover. An awning gives it full shade in the afternoon and retracts for the evening.
- Decks without a roofA deck off the kitchen of a Blue Parkway two story is too hot to use after noon in July. An awning over it gives you an outdoor dining room.
- West facing kitchen glassA kitchen and breakfast nook facing west take the heat through the glass. An awning over the patio door shades the glass from outside, so the room stays cooler.
- Patios by the lakeBeside the water at Raintree, an awning off the back of the house shades the patio table without the permanent roof that would block the view.
Worth Knowing
Full shade over the patio, and features that come standard
Many homes in the newer Lee's Summit neighborhoods have a patio out back that faces west with nothing over it, and that patio is hard to use from lunch until sunset in July. A Retractable Awning fixes that without a permanent roof. It extends over the patio for full shade in the afternoon and rolls back into its cassette when the evening cools off or the weather turns. On a raised deck off a two story, it does the same thing one floor up and takes the direct sun off the kitchen glass.
Our awnings are made to exact custom widths from 10 feet up to 40 feet, with 8, 10 or 12 foot projections, and your Design Specialist measures the wall and the patio so the shade reaches the table. Every awning is motorized, and we complete the wiring to the closest outlet during install. EZ-Pitch lets you change the angle with the included crank handle, the cassette housing protects the fabric when it's rolled up, and dimmable LED lights under the arms come standard with their own remote.
An awning is made for sun and light rain, and it should be rolled in when the wind picks up, which a wind sensor can do for you. For a covered space you want closed against wind, rain and bugs, Exterior Patio Shades are the better product. We have over 300 Sunbrella fabrics, three frame colors at no extra charge, and a straight or sea wave valance. Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and your quote is held for 180 days.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Lee's Summit homeowners
Yes, that's the patio it was built for. A Retractable Awning extends out over the concrete and covers the seating area in full shade through the afternoon, then rolls back when the sun drops. EZ-Pitch lets you angle it lower for the low western sun.
No. Every awning we install is motorized and runs from a remote. Our awnings are heavy and project a long way from the house, so a hand crank for extending them is not advised, and our Install Techs wire each one to the closest outlet on install day. The only crank you use is the one for EZ-Pitch.
Yes. An awning is for sun and light rain, so roll it in when the wind comes up or a storm moves across the lake. The motor makes that a button press, and a wind sensor can do it for you when nobody is home.
Yes. On a deck off the kitchen of a two story along Blue Parkway or Ward Road, we mount the awning to the house wall above the door and it projects out over the deck. Your Design Specialist measures the wall, the door and the deck so the size is right.
A good rule for planning is 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and we do our best to install it as quickly as possible once your awning arrives. A spring consultation puts the shade over the patio before July.
Yes. Every Retractable Awning is covered by our Five Year Service Guarantee, part of our Carefree Guarantee, so a defect in that time is fixed at no charge. The awning is installed by our own full time Install Techs.
