Retractable Awnings

Shadeland offers a wide range of retractable awnings, including motorised cassette awnings that fully enclose the fabric for protection, as well as simpler manual crank-operated models. Each style can be customised to suit different spaces, preferences, and budgets.

Our awnings are custom-sized to fit a range of spaces. Certain models can reach up to 7 metres wide with a 4-metre extension, and linked awnings can cover areas over 20 metres wide, providing flexible solutions for larger spaces.

Yes, we offer both manual options (with a crank handle) and motorised options that can be controlled via remote. Motorised awnings can also be paired with sensors to adjust based on sunlight and wind conditions.

Shadeland retractable awnings are designed to withstand winds up to 60 km/h when extended. In stronger winds or adverse weather, retracting the awning is recommended to prevent damage

Our awnings feature durable aluminium frames and weather-resistant acrylic fabrics, including Docril and Planasol, known for their UV stability and long-lasting colour.

While primarily intended for sun protection, some fabrics offer light water resistance. We recommend retracting the awning in heavy rain to prevent pooling and extend the fabric’s lifespan.

Customisation includes fabric colours and patterns, frame finishes with Dulux powder coating, and motorisation options. We also offer control systems like remote operation and weather sensors to enhance convenience.

Our motorised awnings can be operated with a remote control or wall switch, and can include automatic weather sensors that adjust based on sunlight or wind, providing hands-free comfort.

Retractable awnings provide flexibility, allowing you to extend them for shade or retract them for sunlight. This adjustability makes them ideal for varying weather and sun exposure compared to fixed awnings.

A cassette awning features a protective casing that encloses the fabric and mechanism when retracted, shielding them from the elements. This design helps extend the awning’s lifespan and provides a sleek, modern appearance.

Installation generally takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the project. Our team will provide a time estimate during your consultation to help you plan.

Yes, we recommend cleaning the fabric annually with mild soap and water, and checking moving parts and fasteners for signs of wear. Regular maintenance extends the life of the awning.

Shadeland offers a 5-year workmanship warranty and up to a 10-year warranty on the fabric, depending on the material. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and provides long-term peace of mind.
