Where It Fits In Olathe
Where Retractable Awnings fit in Olathe
An awning is best for an uncovered deck or patio, and anywhere a permanent roof is not wanted.
- Decks with no roofAn open deck has nothing to hang a shade from. The awning creates the cover on demand and gives you full shade while it's out.
- Kitchens that need their lightA permanent roof would darken the windows behind it. An awning gives the light back the moment it rolls in.
- Low evening sunEZ-Pitch lets you change the angle with the included crank handle, with no tools and no ladder, so a low sun stays off the table.
- Dinner after darkLED light strips come standard under the arms of every awning, and you dim them with their own remote.
Worth Knowing
Sizes, premium features, and when an awning comes in
Our Retractable Awnings come in custom widths from 10 feet up to 40 feet, made to the exact inch, with three projections: 8 feet, 10 feet and 12 feet. Every one is motorized, because the weight and projection of our units make a manual crank a poor choice for extending the awning, and our team completes the wiring to the closest outlet during the install. Frames come in white, bronze or beige at no additional charge, with a straight or sea wave valance.
We have 30 Sunbrella fabrics in stock and over 300 to choose from. Sunbrella fabrics are made for harsh exterior conditions, and they have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation's seal of approval for UV protection. The integrated cassette closes around the fabric when the awning is rolled in, which keeps it dry and protects it from insects and birds. EZ-Pitch also lets you tilt the awning in light rain so water runs off one side instead of pooling on the fabric.
An awning is built for shade, so it should be rolled in when the wind picks up, and a wind sensor can be added to the motor. If you want to close in the sides of a covered space against wind and bugs, an Exterior Patio Shade is the product for that, and a lot of our clients add shades that drop from the awning later. For your Olathe deck, a good rule for planning is between 6 and 8 weeks from order to install, and every awning is covered by our Five Year Service Guarantee.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Olathe homeowners
Great question! We only offer motorized retractable awnings. Due to the weight and projection of our units, a manual crank for extending the awning is not advised, and we complete the wiring to the closest outlet during the install so your awning works like a charm.
No. We offer retractable awnings only, and we do not offer fixed or stretched awnings. We recommend retractable awnings because they can be put away and protected from harsh wind when you aren't using them.
No. It only casts shade while it's out, and the moment it rolls back into the cassette the windows behind it get their light back. That's the main advantage an awning has over a permanent roof on an Olathe deck.
Yes. Every product we sell can be motorized, and our Retractable Awnings run from the same remote, app and voice control as your interior Smart Shades, with sun and wind sensors available. Your Design Specialist will go over the options at your free consultation.
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 as quickly as possible once your awning arrives. Our Install Techs set most awnings in a single visit.
No. It rolls into its cassette housing, which protects the fabric from the weather. The valance comes off and goes back on with very little effort if you want to store it for the winter.
