Shade When You Want It, Open Sky When You Don’t
Retractable awnings give you the best of both worlds — full shade over your patio or pool deck when the Gulf sun is blazing, and open sky when you want it. Extend the awning for instant, comfortable shade for outdoor dining and entertaining, then retract it to enjoy a clear Florida evening or protect it from the weather.
And on the Gulf Coast, the weather changes fast. Our motorized awnings can include automatic sun and wind sensors that extend or retract on their own — protecting your investment during those fast-moving afternoon storms and gusts. William and Sinead Runyon install each one to a flawless fit. (Note: awnings provide sun and everyday comfort — they are not code-rated storm protection.)

- Fade & Salt-Air Resistant Fabrics: Engineered to stand up to the intense Florida sun and salt air season after season.
- Extend Your Outdoor Season: Comfortable shade on demand, then open sky when you want the Florida evening.
- Protects Your Investment: Retracts safely against the house, out of the weather, when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions About Retractable Awnings in Venice
Do retractable awnings hold up in Gulf Coast weather?
Yes — and our motorized awnings can include automatic wind sensors that retract the awning when high winds arrive, protecting it during fast-moving afternoon storms and gusts. When retracted, the awning is tucked safely against the house.
Note that awnings provide sun and everyday comfort but are not code-rated storm protection.
What's the difference between a retractable awning and exterior lanai shades?
A retractable awning projects out horizontally to shade a patio or pool deck from above and retracts fully when not in use. Exterior lanai shades drop down vertically to block low-angle sun, add privacy, and keep bugs out. Many Venice homeowners use both.
