Cable Guided vs. Track Guided Patio Screens: Which Is Right for Your Home?

Everything Included — No Hidden Costs

What sets SunPro retractable awnings apart is what comes standard. Most awning manufacturers charge extra for motorization, LED lighting, and premium fabric. SunPro includes all of it at no additional cost. Every awning ships with fully motorized extension and retraction (plus manual override), integrated dimmable LED lights in the arms, wireless remote control, EZ-Pitch angle adjustment, Sunbrella fabric, and an integrated cassette housing that protects the fabric when retracted. There are no surprise add-on fees.

Sizing Options for Every Space

Standard SunPro awnings range from 9'6" to 40 feet wide with projection depths of 8, 10, or 12 feet — large enough to shade the biggest backyard entertaining areas. For narrower, deeper spaces (like a side patio or townhouse deck), the cross-arm awning covers widths from 8 to 13'5" with a 12-foot projection, including full semi-cassette housing and integrated LED lights.

Sunbrella Fabric: The Gold Standard

Every SunPro awning uses Sunbrella fabric — the recognized industry leader in outdoor performance textiles. Choose from 30 in-stock options for quick turnaround or 300+ custom Sunbrella patterns for special orders. The fabric is fade-resistant, UV-resistant, and stain/mold/mildew resistant. It looks as good in year five as it did on installation day.

The LED Advantage

The built-in dimmable LED lights along the awning arms transform your patio into an evening entertaining space without any additional lighting installation. Adjust brightness with the remote — bright for cooking, dim for conversation, off when you're watching the sunset. Most competitors charge $500–$1,500 for aftermarket LED kits that don't integrate as cleanly.

10-Year Warranty — The Best in the Industry

SunPro backs every retractable awning with a 10-year non-prorated, transferable warranty covering hardware, fabric, and motors. "Transferable" is the key word — if you sell your home, the warranty goes with it, which adds real resale value. Most competitors offer 3–5 year warranties with prorated coverage that diminishes each year.
