Why should you choose motorised awnings and pergolas?

Pergolas and awnings are popular outdoor products for both domestic and commercial property. They make outdoor spaces cosier and more functional by offering shade and shelter from the weather. Compared to the traditional pergola and awnings which need to be manually operated, there are a number of advantages for motorised pergolas and awnings that make them the preferred choice.

Samson Outdoor Living will explain in this article why motorised awnings and pergolas are a great choice for anyone looking to improve their outdoor space.

Ease of use

The main advantage of motorised pergolas and awnings is how easy they are to operate. You could easily extend or retract your awning or pergola with the touch of a button or the click of a remote. You do not need to manually adjust the shading or using cranks, levers, and/or a ladder for it.

Additionally, motorised systems are significantly better than manual ones, enabling you to precisely position your awning or pergola to provide the ideal level of shade and protection. Motorisation offers convenient and simpler operation, especially for people with restricted mobility.

Comfort

Motorised pergolas and awnings also significantly increase comfort. For example, if you are enjoying a night with your loved ones, simply say ‘evening scene’ to your smart speaker, and the patio awning /pergola opens to insulate from cooler evening temperatures, the lights switch on and the music starts. These scenes can also be activated with a tap on your phone, which helps you when a sudden gust of wind comes along and you might find yourself struggling to retract your awning/pergola.

Protection

Installing light sensors or timers will reduce or extend the shading and prevent the sun’s drying or bleaching effect on plants and furniture in summer days. Moreover, some larger sized awning products are only available with motorisation. So if you are looking for a larger sized awning, it is always recommended to check with the experts for consultations.
