Why purchase a retractable awning rather than an umbrella?
Umbrellas typically do provide a lower cost alternative to block the suns direct rays, but when was the last time you sat at your outdoor table where more than one person was in the shade of the umbrella? How many others we exposed to the hot, baking sun? Plus, with an umbrella, your protection is limited to your chair at the table. A retractable will provide a single touch of a button operation and will instantly provide a full room size of protection – example: 160 sq feet (16wide x 10 projection unit). With a retractable awning you and your family have the freedom of enjoying your entire outdoor living room in cool, shading comfort. Retractable awnings, by nature, are self storing when retracted. There is no need for worry of summer storms or winter storage as you would have with an umbrella. A custom-made retractable awning from ABC AWNING CO will add color, style and pizzazz to your home as a natural extension as compared to a lonely umbrella stuck in the middle of your table.
