With so many different companies supplying awnings in the UK now, and so many awnings driven through Google search results it can sometimes be puzzling to figure out which awning brands are trustworthy, reliable, established companies, making high quality products suitable for your requirements.
So many suppliers offer lower quality awnings, mainly produced for very light use and sun shade only over smaller areas.
The awning fabric is perhaps one of the biggest indicators for retractable awning quality, along with the supporting arms and use of forged knuckle arm joints for stability and strength. A high quality awning will simply have far more material in it and offer greater overall strength and longevity, but also be a far more aesthetically pleasing product too with higher quality paint finishing for all components.
