WHAT IS AN AWNING FOR PATIO?
An awning for a patio is a shade canopy specifically designed to be mounted over your outdoor living space in Winnipeg. They typically extend outwards from your house wall, creating a cool, comfortable area to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Awnings come in various styles, sizes, and operation mechanisms, allowing you to customize the look and functionality to suit your patio and needs ideally.
Here's a breakdown of the different components of a patio awning:
-
Fabric canopy: This is the main part of the awning that provides shade. It's typically made from durable, weather-resistant materials like solution-dyed acrylic that blocks UV rays and allows for water runoff.
-
Frame: The frame provides the structure and support for the awning canopy. It's usually made from strong yet lightweight materials like aluminum for easy operation and long-lasting performance.
-
Extension arms: These arms extend outwards from the house wall, supporting the awning canopy and allowing it to project over your patio.

BENEFITS OF INSTALLING AN AWNING ON MY PATIO IN WINNIPEG, MANITOBA OR NORTHWEST ONTARIO?
Adding an awning to your patio offers many benefits that enhance your outdoor living experience and can even increase the value of your property. Here are some key advantages to consider:
-
Sun protection and cooler patio temperatures: The primary benefit of a patio awning is creating a shaded haven from the sun's harsh rays. This allows you to enjoy your patio throughout the day without excessive heat or harmful UV exposure. The awning canopy significantly reduces the surface temperature of your patio, making it comfortable to relax, entertain, or dine outdoors even during the hottest summer months.
-
Extended use of your patio: Awnings allow you to maximize the usability of your patio throughout the year. By providing shade and protection from the sun, you can extend the enjoyment of your outdoor space well into the afternoon and even evenings during the peak summer months. Additionally, some awnings offer light rain protection, allowing you to continue using your patio during occasional showers.
-
Reduced energy costs: A well-placed awning can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight that enters your home through patio doors and windows. This helps to keep your home interior cooler, reducing the workload on your air conditioning system and potentially lowering your energy bills.
-
Increased comfort and enjoyment: With shade and cooler temperatures, your patio becomes a much more inviting and comfortable space to spend time in. You can relax in the shade with a book, entertain guests for outdoor meals, or create a shaded play area for children. Awnings not only enhance the functionality of your patio but also contribute to a more enjoyable outdoor living experience.
-
Protection for patio furniture and furnishings: The relentless sun can damage outdoor furniture and fabrics over time. An awning shields your patio furniture from UV rays, helping to prevent fading, cracking, and warping. This extends the lifespan of your outdoor furniture and keeps your patio looking its best.
-
Improved curb appeal: Awnings add style and sophistication to your home's exterior. With various fabrics, colours, and styles, you can select an awning that complements your home's architecture and enhances its curb appeal.

ARE AWNINGS FOR PATIO WEATHER-RESISTANT?
High-quality awnings for the patio from Prairie Shutter & Shade are designed to withstand the elements. Here's a breakdown of their weather resistance:
-
Fabric: Our awnings use solution-dyed acrylic fabrics specifically chosen for outdoor use. These fabrics are resistant to fading, mildew, and water damage. They are also breathable, allowing air circulation and preventing heat buildup under the awning.
-
Frame: The aluminum frames used in our awnings are lightweight yet strong and resistant to rust and corrosion. This ensures long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance needs.
-
Operation systems: Both manual crank rods and motorized operation systems are built to withstand outdoor conditions.
While awnings are designed for weather resistance, it's essential to consider your local climate and awning operation for optimal use. Here are some additional tips:
-
Retract your awning during heavy rain, hail, or strong winds.
-
Regularly clean your awning fabric according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Consider adding a wind sensor to your motorized awning for automatic retraction in high winds.
