The Advantages of Drop Arm Awnings

The scorching Aussie sun is fantastic for those vitamin D boosts. Still, it can also turn your beloved patio into an unusable oven. If you’re ready to reclaim your outdoor space year-round, consider a drop-arm awning—a stylish and practical solution for sun control.

What is a Drop Arm Awning?

Unlike fixed awnings, drop arm awnings offer ultimate flexibility. Think of it as a retractable shade solution that extends outward from your wall using hinged arms. These arms pivot, allowing you to adjust the awning’s angle throughout the day for perfect shade control. The fabric unfurls from a cassette housing, protecting it when not used.

The Metro Pivot Arm Awning

Relish in a more adjustable shade control, a cleaner look when retracted, and potentially a smaller footprint, available in two options:

• Open Style (M1): Ideal for sheltered areas like balconies or under eaves, where the fabric needs minimal protection.
• Hooded Style (M2): This style is perfect for exposed areas. It features a protective aluminium hood that shields the fabric and operating mechanism from the elements.

Tailor Your Oasis

While these options provide ultimate coverage, they also offer customised designs to match your home’s style, with a wide range of powder-coating colours for the head box and hardware. Plus, personalise the look with over 50 high-quality fabric options.

• Adjustable shade control allows you to fine-tune the shade with angles ranging from 0° to 150°.
• Built to withstand Aussie weather, featuring robust arms and UV-resistant, water-repellent fabric.
• Operation options give you the choice between manual crank or motorised operation for ultimate convenience.
