Side Channel Awnings

Side Channel Awnings

A secure, cost-effective way to enclose your patio and block the elements.

Practical & Economical

Side Channel Awnings are a traditional, highly effective method for enclosing outdoor patios, pergolas, and verandas. Designed with fixed side tracks, the fabric is guided seamlessly down to a secure bottom locking point.

The simple, robust spring-loaded mechanism allows for swift and easy manual operation. Simply pull the base rail down to the desired height and lock it in place, keeping the fabric taut and preventing it from flapping in the breeze.

Offering an incredibly cost-effective way to gain privacy and weather protection, they are a staple for Sunshine Coast homes looking to tame the harsh western afternoon sun. Comparing options? See how they stack up against our other awnings on the Sunshine Coast.
