Add smart protection and peace of mind with automatic wind and sun sensors.
These clever devices monitor changing weather conditions and adjust your awning for you. When strong winds are detected, the sensor automatically retracts the awning to prevent fabric or arm damage. On sunny days, it can extend the awning to keep your space cool and shaded — even when you’re not home.
Weather sensors are a simple, worthwhile upgrade that helps prolong your awning’s lifespan, reduce wear, and make outdoor living effortless.
Every outdoor folding arm awning is made to measure and professionally installed to suit your space perfectly.
