Dripex 3x2.5m Retractable Manual Patio Awning – Grey

The Dripex retractable awning offers a practical and straightforward way to create shade on your patio, balcony or terrace. Spanning three metres wide and two and a half metres in projection, it provides generous coverage for outdoor seating areas, and the simple hand crank mechanism means you can extend or retract it in seconds without any fuss. The neutral grey fabric suits a wide range of outdoor spaces and blends well with most garden furniture and exterior finishes.

Built to handle the British climate, the polyester fabric carries a PU coating that sheds light rain and blocks UV rays, making it useful on overcast days as well as bright sunny ones. The frame is constructed from thickened aluminium alloy with a rust-resistant finish, and bolted joints keep everything rigid when the wind picks up. On days with stronger gusts, it is easy to retract the canopy fully to protect it and extend its lifespan.

Installation is wall-mounted only, and the kit includes the necessary fixings for brick and reinforced concrete surfaces. You will need an electric drill, a measuring tape, and M10 and M12 spanners to complete the job. It works equally well at home or in a commercial setting such as a café or restaurant garden. Available on Amazon.
