Patio Awnings for Michigan Summers
Why it works here
Drops the temperature
A shaded patio runs noticeably cooler than one in direct sun, and the shade reaches indoors through the doorwall too.
Out only when you want it
A retractable rolls away flat against the house, so the patio still gets full sun in spring and autumn.
Sized to your slab
We measure the actual patio rather than selling you a stock width, so the shade lands where the seating is.

Questions we get about this
Retract it when the wind picks up and it will be fine — that is the whole point of a retractable. Add a wind sensor and it retracts itself while you are out.
Usually yes. We also make shade panels that fit the pergola bays directly, which is often the tidier answer.
