Shade Sense Outdoor Awnings near Long Island, NY
We partner with Shade Sense Outdoor to offer motorized retractable awnings that are built to a higher standard—including features like premium anti-corrosion aluminum frames, choices from Sunbrella® fabrics, integrated LED lighting, and a warranty that stands behind the product long-term.
Shade Sense Outdoor standard retractable awnings are available in widths from 10 to 40 feet, with projections of 8, 10, or 12 feet—making them a strong fit for a wide range of residential and commercial applications across New York City and Long Island.
- The semi-cassette housing protects the fabric when the awning is retracted, which goes a long way toward extending the life of your investment.
- The front bar also accommodates accessories like drop screens, wind sensors, and wind poles, giving you even more control over your outdoor environment.
- EZ-Pitch adjustment lets you fine-tune the awning’s slope, so you can dial in the angle based on the sun’s position throughout the day.
Cross-Arm Awnings
Shade Sense Outdoor’s cross-arm awnings start at 8 feet wide and project up to 12 feet, and like feature semi-cassette housing and integrated LED lighting as standard. If your space doesn’t fit the mold, cross-arm design is worth a closer look.
Sunbrella® Fabric Options
Every Shade Sense Outdoor awning is covered in Sunbrella® fabric—the industry standard for outdoor performance. Choose colors and patterns with more than 300 custom options that matches your exterior perfectly. Sunbrella® fabric is UV-resistant, fade-resistant, stain-resistant, and compliant with the highest low-emission standards. The hardware carries a 10-year non-prorated transferable warranty, and the fabric itself is warrantied for 15 years.
Built-In LED Lighting
Built-in, dimmable LED lights come standard on every Shade Sense Outdoor awning—no extra installation required. The lights are integrated into the arms and controllable via remote, so your patio or terrace stays usable well into the evening.
Motorized Awnings with Smart Home Control
You want your outdoor space to work as seamlessly as the rest of your smart home setup. All Shade Sense Outdoor awnings are fully motorized. Extend or retract your awning using a handheld wireless remote, your smartphone, or voice control through your home automation system. If you have multiple awnings, you can operate them all from a single remote. And in the event of a power outage, a manual override means you’re never stuck.
Benefits of Automated Retractable Awnings
Automated retractable awnings give you the flexibility to enjoy your outdoor space on your terms—shade when you need it, open sky when you don't. Here's why homeowners and businesses across Long Island and New York love them:
