    Custom Colour Matching

    Choose from hundreds of fabric tones to complement your façade or outdoor décor—from classic neutrals to bold statement stripes. All fabrics are 100 % solution-dyed acrylic, meaning the colour runs through every fibre for long-lasting vibrancy.

    Not sure which fabric or colour fits your space best?
    Our team will help you compare texture, tone and performance, then recommend the ideal Sattler fabric and frame finish for your home’s style and sun exposure.

    Both operation styles deliver reliable performance — the best choice depends on how you use your outdoor space and the level of convenience you prefer.

    Manual Operation

    Pros:

    • Simple and dependable — no power source required
    • Easy to use with smooth hand-crank control
    • Lower upfront cost and minimal maintenance

    Cons:

    • Requires physical effort to open and close
    • Less convenient for larger or high-mounted awnings

    Motorised Operation

    Pros:

    • Effortless one-touch control via remote or wall switch
    • Optional wind and sun sensors for automatic adjustment
    • Smooth, quiet operation that extends awning life

    Cons:

    • Slightly higher initial investment
    • Requires power access and professional installation

    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.

    Our team can mount your awning to a wall, fascia, ceiling, or roof rafter, depending on your structure and desired shade coverage. We use high-strength brackets and precision alignment to ensure smooth operation and long-term stability, even in coastal conditions.

    Awnings can be tailored in width and projection — typically ranging from 2 m to 7 m wide with arm extensions up to 4 m — giving you generous shade coverage without the need for posts or frames.

    All installations are carried out by qualified technicians who handle alignment, tensioning, and final testing to guarantee a flawless finish.

    Folding Arm Awnings FAQS

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A folding arm awning is a retractable shade system that extends outwards using articulated arms. It provides sun protection and shelter for patios, decks, and courtyards — without the need for posts or permanent structures.

    Yes. All our awnings can be operated manually with a crank handle or upgraded to a motorised system for push-button or remote control convenience. Motorised models can even be paired with optional weather sensors that automatically retract your awning in strong winds.

    Each awning is custom-made to suit your space. Typical widths range from 2 m to 7 m, with arm projections up to 4 m. During your measure and quote visit, we’ll confirm the ideal size and mounting style for your property.

    We use premium European-grade acrylic and polyester fabrics from trusted suppliers like Sattler, designed for UV resistance, colour retention, and long-term outdoor performance. You can choose from a wide range of colours and textures to match your home.

    Our trained installers handle everything — from accurate measurement and bracket placement to final testing. Awnings can be mounted to a wall, ceiling, fascia, or roof rafter, depending on your layout. Each installation is secured for strength and durability in Perth’s weather conditions.

    Most residential awning installations don’t require council approval. However, if your property is strata-managed, heritage-listed, or commercial, approval may be needed. Our team can guide you on what’s required before installation.

    All Folding Arm Awnings installed by Outdoor Shades WA include a 5-year workmanship warranty and fabric warranties up to 10 years, depending on your chosen material. This ensures your investment stays protected and functional for years to come.
