Proven Simple Outdoor Shade Control
The Cord and Reel awning system has earned its place as a proven, reliable outdoor sun protection solution through decades of practical use on Australian verandahs, windows and alfresco areas. The system is elegantly simple: a fabric awning is deployed and retracted via a cord and reel mechanism that operates smoothly with minimal effort, providing reliable shade control without complex engineering.
Simplicity & Reliability
Simplicity is the defining quality of this system. The cord mechanism requires no power source and has minimal moving parts, which means there's very little to go wrong and maintenance requirements are low. For installations without convenient power access, or for homeowners who prefer a straightforward manual system, the Cord and Reel is an excellent choice.
Versatile Configurations
The system accommodates a range of awning configurations including straight drop designs suitable for windows, verandah posts. Adjustable height positions allow you to set the level of shade precisely.
Motorised Option Available
Internal winch controls and motorisation are available for highset windows, allowing you to control your awning from inside your home.
