FAQs
Explore the FAQs below for more details about awnings and pergolas — and check out our full FAQ page for more in-depth knowledge.What do you need to know about awnings and pergolas?
Awnings and pergolas share two key components:
- Frames – Pergolas and awnings both feature frames — structural components that provide an attachment point for the shade and accessories.
- Shades – Shades are attached to frames and offer protection from the sun (and, in some cases, other elements like wind and rain).
Awnings and pergolas with retractable shades or covers also often feature mechanical equipment or motorized components used to retract or modify the shade as needed. All of these components are key features to consider before making a purchase.
What’s the proper angle for an awning?
Technically speaking, you can install an awning at any angle you’d like — but, realistically, you’ll need to angle the awning enough for light rain water to run off the shade material without pooling and weighing it down and possibly causing it to collapse. Your product manufacturer will likely make pitch recommendations based on specific awning models’ design, materials, dimensions and configurations like installation height for example.
Does Retractable Awnings Reviews sell awnings and pergolas?
No — I don’t sell any awnings or pergolas on this site. I’m here to combat the large quantity of product misinformation and biased “reviews” from manufacturers to help you make the best shopping decision. A more informed consumer base has the knowledge to look for high-quality, engineered, durable products, thus increasing demand for these products and improving the market over time: I am here to help make that happen by providing the pergola and awning details you need.
