Awnings

olaola

ARG! I heard an ad on the radio this morning for an Irish company that sold awnings and the like.
God forbid I can remember the name!

We would like to get one over the back of our house. Not really to keep the sun off, but to keep the heat over the deck at night while sitting out.
Would anyone know who sells them?

Yes that one similar to the one we got, can't remember exactly what we paid, 5/6 hundred maybe, i checked a few other places, including canopies ireland, and they were in the thousands. Just remember to incline at the largest angle you can, I wanted more coverage so only inclined at a small angle, basically nearly flat with about a 3 degree slope, but rain gathers on it. I assume that wouldn't happen if the incline was more. They are waterproof to a point, but not if the water can't roll off.:rolleyes:

Canopies are an item where you realy get what you pay for.
Prices start at around €300 at budjet diy end, generaly poor quality fabrics, weak arms and disapointingly small. only suitable for use on windless days.
More expensive options generally have longerlasting, rot-resistant, colour fast fabrics, fade resistance, stronger construction capable of handling breezy weather and larger sizes. On more expensive options look for free fitting.
I've been fitting these things for years and in my view, generally speaking, anything less than €1200 isn't worth fitting, and definitly not worth listning to the complaints.
The ad you heard may have been ACME Blinds, they have been advertising nationaly lately and are Irish owned.

Wasn't ACME the brand the Road Runner used to use?!

Thanks for the info though - they seem to have a lot of options!
