These are laid over   wood, steel, iron, metal, aluminum, and other materials. Awnings are   deliberately lightweight to permit sunlight when needed. Unlike enduring   roof, these coverings may be folded, retractable, etc.

Cars may be roofed with a large piece. Commercial establishment,   including restaurants, also make of awnings in larger sizes.

Most of these wrap items   are stationary. Some awnings are also retractable and can be rolled over to a   supporting structure. For outdoor purposes such as a family swim, a momentary   awning can be built.

To purchase, the proper   awnings, one must select the toughest materials that are available such as   aluminum. The fabrics that are most sturdy for awning use are those that are   tinted with anti-mildew and Teflon, remember that.
