Retractable Awnings In Mission

Retractable Awnings in Mission, KS

Retractable Awnings turn a bare patio behind a Mission house into a shaded place to sit. A post-war ranch on a wide lot came with a concrete slab off the back door and nothing over it, and our Solar Shield Blinds motorized awnings put full shade over the slab and roll back in when you want the sun.

Where It Fits In Mission

Where a retractable awning fits in Mission

Uncovered patios and decks are common behind the ranches and Cape Cods of Mission, Fairway and Westwood, and an awning shades one without building a roof.

  • Slab patios behind ranchesAn awning mounts to the house wall above the door, so a Mission patio gets shade with no posts set in the yard.
  • Small yards in WestwoodOn a close Westwood lot a permanent roof would crowd the yard. An awning rolls away when you don't need it.
  • Decks off the kitchenA deck off a remodeled kitchen takes the afternoon sun. EZ-Pitch lowers the front edge as the sun drops.
  • Hot kitchen glassShade over the back door keeps sun off the glass, so the kitchen behind it stays cooler too.

Worth Knowing

Sizing, pitch and what comes standard

An awning is the product for a patio where a permanent roof is more than you want, and a lot of Mission back yards fit that description. It gives full shade over an open patio, hangs on the house with no posts, and rolls back in on the days you want sun. Each awning is built to the inch anywhere from 10 to 40 feet wide and reaches out 8, 10 or 12 feet, and your Design Specialist picks the size that covers the table and the chairs around it.

EZ-Pitch lets you change the angle with the included crank handle, with no ladder and no tools, so the shade lands where you sit when the sun gets low. The cassette housing closes around the fabric when it's rolled up and keeps it dry through the winter. Dimmable LED strips under the arms are standard and have a remote of their own. All of our awnings are motorized, wired by our team to the closest outlet, and offered in over 300 Sunbrella fabrics with three no charge frame colors and a choice of straight or sea wave valance.

Sun and a light shower are what an awning is made for, so it belongs rolled up once the wind rises, and a wind sensor will do that without you. For a covered space you want closed against wind and bugs, Exterior Patio Shades are the better fit. Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and the quote is held for 180 days. Every Retractable Awning carries our Five Year Service Guarantee as part of the Carefree Guarantee.

Straight Answers

Retractable Awnings questions from Mission homeowners
