They are designed to withstand everyday sun and light rain. However, during strong winds or heavy rain, it’s best to retract the awning to protect it from damage.

Seasonal FAQs – Electric Retractable Awnings
Can retractable awnings be used in winter?
Yes, they can, but it’s best to keep them retracted during heavy snow, frost, or strong winds to prevent damage. Many homeowners still enjoy the sheltered space on mild winter days.
Are awnings effective in autumn and spring?
Absolutely. They provide shelter from sudden showers and create a comfortable outdoor area during transitional seasons. They also protect outdoor furniture from falling leaves and rain.
Do electric awnings work in summer heat?
Yes. They are especially useful in summer, providing shade that keeps patios and gardens cool. By reducing direct sunlight, they also help lower indoor temperatures and protect interiors from fading.
Should awnings be taken down for the season?
No removal is required. High-quality retractable awnings are designed for year-round installation. Simply retract them when not in use or during harsh weather.
Can I use my awning in light rain?
Yes. The durable fabrics are designed to withstand light rain showers. However, it’s important to retract the awning during heavy downpours to avoid water pooling on the fabric.
