Default Sunsetter awnings



I am thinking of buying one to put on our 4 season room to extend our living space outdoors. We would put a temporary patio under it for seating until a deck could be built.

All comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

We don't have a Sunsetter awning, but we do have an awning. Pics from a NE cookout at our place...you kind of get the idea...



And from the party at our place after the Nor'Easter





We enjoy the awning, as our yard has no shade. Had to cut trees down to re-do septic system....

There's a retractable awning on my bedroom deck. I love it. It was already here but I think the previous owners left the paper work...

Found it. It's a Galaxy Shade. Galaxy Shade System Inc. I don't know if the first home owners put it on or the people I bought the house from but it works great. I assume everyone uses Sunbrella acrylic fiber for the cover.

^I went to the link and one of their links is Sunsetter Awnings.

Thanks! Costco has a substantial savings on them thru Sunday and we would like to get one. Before our 4 season room was built, we had an open porch and we used to sit out to watch the hummers chase each other thru the porch or listen to the rain/lightning. We miss that although the 4 season room is the best thing we ever did. (well, we did have a garage built for our garage queen but I can't get excited about that!)

We've had a Sunsetter awning for the last 6 years (12 x 10), and we like it a lot. It has held up very well, despite the harsh winters.
