Bargain-Hunting for Awnings Online

September 14th, 2012 · Published to Awnings by nicole

Not all awnings are the same. Offhand, there are probably nine basic types of awnings. There is the dome awning, the circular entrance, the traditional awning, the pergola type, retractable awnings in both manual and automatic retraction mechanisms, and non-retractable awnings. If you really go into the specific kinds of awnings, you will find at least fifty designs for awnings, and each one will have a different price tag.

And you are not even considering the print on the materials for awnings. Awnings are great tools for advertising, and sometimes the design printed on the awning can cost as much as an awning itself – maybe even more, if the design is really good. Then you have to cut the cost of the design of the advertisement across several awnings, and this makes the price tag variable.

And speaking of variable, the material used for awnings is a big consideration. Some materials, while sturdy enough, will have less UV protection, and that is a big thing to consider for awnings in all-weather conditions. Still, some materials will be of the same quality as sails, and this makes some awnings expensive. And then there is the frame to consider – wood, metal and aluminum are used, and it depends on the kind of awning how much of the frame is necessary to support the temporary structure.
