Function and Style

Expand your home’s square footage instantly. Our Retractable Awnings allow you to transform a scorching hot deck or patio into a cool, comfortable outdoor living room with the touch of a button. By blocking the sun before it hits your windows, they also help lower indoor cooling costs and protect your interior furniture from fading.

Engineered for Performance Made in the Shade offers premium systems featuring Solution-Dyed Acrylic Fabrics. Unlike cheap polyester that fades in a year, our fabrics are dyed through to the core, ensuring the color stays vibrant for a decade. The heavy-duty aluminum frames are powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, perfectly suited for North Jersey weather.
Smart & Safe Operation We recommend equipping your awning with Motorized Controls and Wind Sensors. This smart technology detects high winds and automatically retracts the awning to protect it from damage—even if you aren’t home. Schedule your free in-home consultation to choose from hundreds of designer fabrics that complement your home’s exterior.

FAQ

Can I leave it out in the rain?

Retractable awnings are primarily designed for sun protection. While they are water-resistant and can handle a light drizzle, they are not designed for heavy rain or snow. Water can pool on the fabric and bend the frame, so they should be retracted during storms.

What if I forget to close it and it gets windy?
  • Wind is the biggest enemy of awnings. That is why we highly recommend adding a Wind Sensor. This smart device detects motion and automatically closes the awning to prevent damage. Learn more about smart features on our Motorization Blog.

Will the fabric fade?

We use high-quality solution-dyed acrylic fabrics (like Sunbrella® or similar brands). Unlike standard canvas, the color penetrates the entire fiber, meaning it resists fading and rotting for many years, even under the intense summer sun.
