Outdoor · Freestanding
Freestanding awnings. Shade without fixing to a façade.
Create a sheltered area in the middle of the garden, on a large terrace or at a hospitality venue, without having to attach the system to a building.
What defines this solution
Freedom of placement. Freedom of use.
Freestanding awnings are ideal for separate areas and large spaces. Single- or double-sided shading creates flexible zones for dining, relaxing, playing or entertaining.

The benefits for you
More than a product. A difference in everyday life.
Independent of the façade
Placement is determined by how the space is used and the sun’s path, not by the house wall.
Double-sided coverage
Depending on the system, the two sides can be shaded independently or together.
Scalable
Several units can be combined for extensive outdoor areas.
Comfort options
Motorised operation, radio control, lighting and additional valances enhance usability.
The right direction
Two basic approaches: extend both sides together or control each side independently.
Freestanding awnings provide shade where no façade can support the structure. Foundations, stability and unobstructed access therefore become part of the product selection process.

PLANIGRAPH expertise
Compare systems. Plan the right solution.
A freestanding design offers greater planning freedom – but also means that the location, foundations, wind exposure and access routes need to be considered together with particular care.
The system names make it easier to find your way around, including when consulting the manufacturer’s catalogue later on. Which version is technically suitable depends on the installation conditions, intended use, size, wind exposure and desired features.
Design & comfort
Freestanding means planning the location, foundations and intended use together.
Location
The shaded area, sightlines, access routes and furniture layout determine the position of the structure.
Ground fixing
Depending on the system, ground sleeves, foundations or suitable base solutions may be used.
Two sides
Synchronised or independent extension makes a significant difference to everyday flexibility.
Evening use
Lighting, a valance, radio remote control and additional side protection can extend the usable outdoor area.
More perspectives
Materials, architecture and use change the overall effect.
Different installation settings show how the solution looks on a terrace, in a garden or next to a glazed surface, 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 must all be considered together. We clarify these points before providing a quotation.

The questions that really matter before you decide.
Does a freestanding awning need foundations?
Stability must be verified through structural calculations. The right fixing method depends on the system, size, ground conditions and location.
Can both sides be extended and retracted independently?
The BOXMOBIL allows independent operation; other designs operate in sync. We select the right option for your intended use.
Is this suitable for hospitality settings?
Yes. Large shaded areas where furniture can be arranged freely are a typical application.
