Retractable Awnings In Shawnee
Retractable Awnings in Shawnee, KS
Retractable Awnings put shade over an open Shawnee patio without building a roof. A new lot west of K-7 has young trees that won't shade anything for years, and our Solar Shield Blinds motorized awnings cover the patio or deck in a few seconds and roll back against the house when you want the sun.
Where It Fits In Shawnee
Where a retractable awning fits in Shawnee
Open patios and uncovered decks turn up in every part of Shawnee, and an awning shades them with no posts and no new roof to build.
- New builds with young treesThe newest homes in Clear Creek and Canyon Lakes sit on lots where the trees were just planted. An awning gives you shade this summer instead of in ten years.
- Uncovered decks off the kitchenA 1990s deck in Woodsonia or Lakepointe with no roof takes full sun at lunch. An awning over it shades the table and keeps sun off the kitchen glass.
- Patios on the older ranchesA slab behind an east side ranch has nothing over it. The awning mounts to the house wall, so there are no posts in the yard.
- Patios that face the sunsetWith EZ-Pitch, you drop the front edge for the low evening sun and raise it again at midday, using the crank handle that comes with it.
Worth Knowing
Width, pitch and the cassette that protects the fabric
A retractable awning is the product for a patio or deck where you don't want a permanent roof. It mounts to the house with no posts, gives full shade when it's out, and rolls back in on days you want the sun. Our awnings are made to exact custom widths from 10 feet up to 40 feet, with projections of 8, 10 or 12 feet, so your Design Specialist can size one to reach past the table on a Shawnee deck.
EZ-Pitch lets you change the angle with the included crank handle, with no tools and no ladder, so the shade lands where you're sitting when the sun is low. The full cassette closes around the fabric when it's rolled in and keeps it dry through a Johnson County winter, along with keeping insects and birds off it. Each awning also comes with dimmable LED lights under the arms on a separate remote. Every awning we install is motorized, and our team wires it to the closest outlet.
An awning is built for sun and light rain, and it should come in when the wind picks up, which a wind sensor can do for you. Every Retractable Awning carries our Five Year Service Guarantee as part of the Carefree Guarantee, and the quote holds for 180 days. Order to install runs 6 to 8 weeks, and our own full time Install Techs anchor it, adjust the pitch while you watch, and clear out the packaging.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Shawnee homeowners
Yes, that's the job of a retractable awning. It mounts to the house wall above the patio door and reaches out over the patio with no posts or footings. On a new lot with young trees, it's the fastest way to get real shade.
Yes. An open awning catches wind like a sail, so it should be rolled in, and a wind sensor on the motor can do that on its own. The cassette then closes over the fabric to protect it.
Yes, with EZ-Pitch. Lower the front edge with the crank handle to block the low sun, then raise it for midday. On a deck facing west, it's the feature you'll use most.
Yes. Every Solar Shield Blinds Retractable Awning has dimmable LED light strips under the arms, run from their own remote, so the deck works for dinner after dark.
Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and we install as soon as we can once the awning arrives. Your quote holds for 180 days, so you can time it around the season.
Yes. Retractable Awnings carry our Five Year Service Guarantee, and the Carefree Guarantee applies too, including the 180 day price hold, the 30 day window to swap a product, and Life Happens for one accident within five years.
