Outdoor · Awnings
Folding-arm awnings. Plenty of shade, minimal structure.
The classic patio awning keeps things light and open: no posts in your line of sight, clear space underneath and fabric that only appears when you need it.
What defines this solution
The straightforward way to enjoy more of summer outdoors.
Folding-arm and telescopic-arm awnings are ideal wherever clean façade lines, unobstructed space and generous shade are required. The key factors are sizing, arm mechanism, pitch and fixing.

The benefits for you
More than a product. A difference in everyday life.
Unobstructed space
No front posts – keeping furniture layouts, walkways and sightlines flexible.
Big impact
With the right arm mechanism, even wide patios can be shaded evenly.
Pitch
The angle is adjusted to suit the sun’s position, headroom and façade.
Retrofit options
Motorisation, radio control, sensors and lighting can be integrated into many models.
The right direction
Lightweight, open or extra-large – the arm mechanism makes the difference.
Folding-arm and telescopic-arm awnings remain the most flexible solution when the area beneath the awning needs to stay completely unobstructed.

PLANIGRAPH expertise
Compare systems. Plan the right solution.
A good folding-arm awning does more than provide sufficient coverage. It casts shade exactly where seating areas and glazed surfaces need it – without permanently obstructing the outdoor space.
The system names help you find your way around – including later in the manufacturer’s catalogue. The technically suitable version depends on the installation conditions, intended use, size, wind exposure and desired features.
Design & comfort
It is not just the width that matters, but also where the shade actually falls.
Pitch
The pitch affects headroom, shade coverage and protection from low-angle sunlight.
Fixings
Wall, ceiling and rafter mounting place different demands on the brackets and supporting structure.
Fabric tension
The arm mechanism and sizing determine how steadily and evenly the fabric is tensioned across its surface.
Automation
Motorised operation, radio control and weather sensors enhance convenience and protect the awning in changing conditions.
More perspectives
Materials, architecture and use change the overall effect.
Different installation settings show how the solution works with a terrace, garden or glazed area, and which details matter when planning and designing it.
Planning
So the solution works just as it should once installed.
For outdoor products, architecture, weather, fixings and operation all need to be considered equally. We clarify these points before providing a quotation.

The questions that really matter before you decide.
How far can a folding-arm awning extend?
This depends on the model, width, arm mechanism and installation setting. We coordinate the projection and width to suit the desired shaded area.
Is an open awning less well protected?
Its design leaves it more exposed to the weather. Depending on the installation, a protective canopy may be advisable.
Can the fabric be replaced separately?
Yes, for many systems. Fabric replacement is part of our repair and modernisation services.
