Wall-Mounted Shade With No Posts Required
The Folding Arm Awning is the most space-efficient outdoor shade solution available. Unlike pergola-mounted awnings or fixed shade structures that require a post or structure to support them, a folding arm awning is wall-mounted with extendable arms that project the canopy outward over your patio, deck or courtyard — no posts, no footings, no obstruction of your outdoor space.
Maximum Outdoor Space Preserved
When retracted, the awning folds neatly back against the wall, leaving your outdoor area completely clear. When extended, it projects several metres outward to cast a large, comfortable shaded area beneath.
Durable, UV-Treated Fabrics
The awning fabric is stretched taut between the arms, which means it sheds light rain as well as providing shade. Available in acrylic in a wide range of colours and designs, all treated for UV resistance and colour fastness.
Manual & Motorised Options
Both manual and motorised versions are available. Motorised folding arm awnings can be connected to sun and wind sensors for fully automated operation — deploying automatically when the sun reaches a set intensity and retracting safely before wind conditions become problematic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do folding arm awnings need posts or footings?
No — they are wall-mounted on the articulated arms. No posts or ground footings are required.
Can they handle rain?
The taut fabric sheds light rain, but folding arm awnings should be retracted in heavy rain or strong wind conditions.
Is motorisation available?
Yes. Motorised versions can be connected to sun and wind sensors for automated operation.
What projection depths are available?
Projection depths vary by blind width. Our team will recommend the appropriate depth based on your outdoor space and sun exposure.
