Retractable Awnings In Lenexa
Retractable Awnings in Lenexa, KS
A Retractable Awning puts full shade over the patio or deck behind your Lenexa home, even when the sun is beating down, and rolls away when you want the sky back. Every one we install is motorized, with LED lights, EZ-Pitch and a protective cassette as standard.
Where It Fits In Lenexa
Where Retractable Awnings fit in Lenexa
Slab patios and open decks with nothing overhead are where an awning makes the most sense.
- Slab patiosA concrete patio behind the house with no cover gets full sun all afternoon. An awning mounts above the door and shades the table with no posts in the yard.
- Upper decks on split levelsA deck off the upper floor sits in full sun, and a roof over it would darken the rooms behind. The awning shades it and rolls back in.
- West facing patiosEZ-Pitch drops the front bar to block a low evening sun, then lifts it back up for headroom.
- Evenings outsideDimmable LED light strips under the arms light the table after dark, so there's no extension cord running out to a lamp.
Worth Knowing
Widths, fabrics, and what to know about wind
Our Retractable Awnings are made to exact custom widths from 10 feet up to 40 feet, and they project out 8, 10 or 12 feet from the wall. They are motorized only, and our team completes the wiring to the closest outlet during the install. Mounting an awning is a structural job, because it has to be anchored into something that will hold it, and that's the part that separates a professional install from a weekend one.
Choose from 30 Sunbrella fabrics in stock or over 300 fabrics in all, in tans and beiges, blues, blacks and grays, and reds, browns and greens. Sunbrella fabrics are made for harsh exterior conditions and have earned GREENGUARD's gold certification for low chemical emissions. Frames come in white, bronze or beige at no additional charge. The full cassette closes around the fabric when it rolls in, keeping it dry and keeping insects and birds off it between uses.
An open awning acts like a sail, so it should come in when the wind picks up, and a wind sensor can do that for you. If you want to close in the sides of the space against wind, rain and bugs, Exterior Patio Shades can hang from the awning later. A good rule for planning is between 6 and 8 weeks from order to install. Your Design Specialist checks the wall of your Lenexa home for a solid mount and writes an itemized quote on the spot.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Lenexa homeowners
Yes. The brackets anchor into the wall above the door, and your Design Specialist checks the wall, the height and the clearance over the door and any light fixtures during the free consultation, so the awning fits before it's ordered.
No. Every Retractable Awning we install in Lenexa is motorized. Due to the weight and projection of our units, a manual crank is not advised, and we complete the wiring to the closest outlet during your install. The included crank handle is only for adjusting the pitch.
Yes, in light rain. EZ-Pitch lets you tilt the awning so water runs off one side instead of pooling on the fabric. In heavy rain and wind, roll it back into its cassette.
No. An awning projects out from the house and shades from above, which suits an open deck or patio. An Exterior Patio Shade drops down the side of a covered space to block wind, rain and bugs. A lot of our clients do the awning first and add shades that hang from it later.
Yes. The width, the projection, the fabric and any sensors all go into the price. The LED lighting and the cassette come standard, and the frame colors carry no additional charge. Your Design Specialist measures the space and gives you an exact quote on the spot, held for 180 days.
We always say a good rule for planning is between 6 and 8 weeks from order to install, and we do our best to get your install done quickly once your awning arrives. Every awning is backed by our Five Year Service Guarantee.
