Domestic Products > All Weather Awnings

In The Sun

During the humid warm days in the summer, shelter from the sun can often be underrated. Whether it is provided by a patio awning or static garden terrace cover, the cooling comfort of shade can offer a reprieve from the heat when relaxing in the garden.

In The Rain

Similar to how an all weather awning can offer a reprieve from the heat, they can also provide shelter  from the unpredictable rain which once made your garden patio area off limits.

Many of the patio awnings and umbrellas installed by Samson Awnings are quite able to be left extended in light rainfall as long as the awning has enough pitch to let the rainwater run away and not ‘pool’ in the material. The material should however be left to dry after the rain has stopped and not immediately retracted and left wet inside the cassette housing.

With the ever unreliable British weather, the need for an all weather solution has never been greater.

Markilux 1600 Skylife 2

The moving arm part of the Markilux 1600 Skylife 2 is equipped with a clever joint mechanism that allows the awning to be transformed into a gable by using simple grip handles. It is an ideal solution for adjustable sun protection – and perfect for rain drainage, even with a 0% awning pitch.

With the Skylife 2 providing greater headroom at its central point, it is a practical alternative for those sites with lower mounting points or larger projections. Once you begin to retract the extended awning the gable feature will automatically return to a normal straight profile.

Markilux Pergola 100/200

Retractable patio and terrace cover system for larger areas with a higher wind rating than an awning.

Sizes up to 12m wide and 6m projection with a new zip system available to ensure the tightest of fits for the fabric down the side channels.

Weinor Plaza Home/Pro

Retractable fabric patio and terrace cover system for large areas.

Electric operation for the main cover and over 140 options for the fabric cover with 47 colours for the framework.

Gibus Med System

Terrace cover system with a very tough fabric retractable roof with options for either an aluminium or composite timber framework to provide very large areas capable of being covered and with the highest of wind, rain and snow loadings. This is a system perfect

For both domestic & commercial applications to make the most of any outdoor area.

Glass Rooms

Glass Rooms are ideal structures for the garden when full visibility is required. Constructed using strengthened glazing panels with a tough yet unobtrusive profile frame system, the garden glass room offers optimum all weather protection creating a room outdoors.

But what if you don’t want the enclosing space of a glass room on a warm day and would prefer an open al fresco area? Then don’t worry. The Weinor GlasOase has folding glass panels which neatly fold away to transform the closed glass room into an adaptable open patio cover.

Terrace Covers

A Terrace Cover is the perfect al fresco

Weinor Terrazza
The Terrazza is a glass patio roof system which helps to protect against the elements. It can extend the use of a patio area by months offering you the chance to enjoy the natural outdoors during wind and rain. It allows you to continue throwing parties, barbecues and enjoying the outdoors during the spring, summer and autumn as well as all of those rainy, cloudy days in between.

The Terrazza is not only available with a normal pent roof, but corner sections, balcony cut-outs, chamfered pent roofs, trapezoid roofs, pent roofs with offset sections and many more are available on request. Email us to request other bespoke designs.

Patio Awning with Frame System

Markilux RS-8000 System

The Markilux 8000 and Markilux RS-8000 systems can integrate with each other to protect against diverse weather conditions and allow awnings to extend to cover further distances.

The Markilux RS-8000 frame system is a good example of this method and can cover enormous areas when required. It is a fixed track system which houses an awning and offers it additional strength and support. This frame can hold up to 3 Markilux 8000 awnings to a maximum extension of 7m.

The Markilux 8000 awning system can be coupled together to give cover over very large areas. It is a highly durable awning which can be used on flat or curved surfaces to meet your needs. This awning can be coupled up 3 times to create a large ‘mega-awning’ to offer protection over a larger area.

Whatever your requirement may be, experienced & impartial consultants from Samson Awnings will offer good advice and will help you avoid buying a product that may not be 100% suitable for your intended use. Although these products are designed for use in light rain, we recommend that common sense must be used when the awning is subjected to very heavy rain, snow as well as strong gusts of wind as this places huge strains on the arms and the fixing points – especially as our UK weather has become so much more unpredictable.

All of the products have been tested and some even have a wind rating but this is always done in a controlled environment and in the real outside world you cannot measure the weather by exact scales very easily.
