Although winter is well on its way, it doesn’t mean now isn’t a good time to purchase a patio awning for your home. An awning can offer great protection from the sun but can also offer protection from the wind and rain. There are a number of different types of sun awnings to choose from such as fixed or retractable, and if retractable, manual or electric.

Buying a garden patio awning now will ensure that it is is ready for the spring next year. There tends to be a rush around March and April time and you may find that if you leave it until then you won’t get one installed until mid way through summer. There may still be opportunities when you can use your awning throughout the colder months to provide shelter from light rain on days when you still want to enjoy some of the fresh air.

You may also find that if you choose to purchase an awning now you can secure yourself a great deal. Buying an awning this time of year often means you can pick one up for a great price and installation should be fairly quick. Be sure to always choose a high quality awning fabric that will withstand the rain and sun for many years to come.
