Retractable awnings are a great investment. They can add some usable space to your yard, especially your back patio. Many people prefer to install a sunsetter over their sliding patio door. This looks great and makes a lot of sense if you like to enjoy your backyard when the weather is nice. This article explains the perks of installing a retractable sunsetter awning in your back yard or patio.

Easy Storage During Winter

During the winter, you might not need to use your awning at all. This is why you want to invest a little extra money in a retractable sunsetter. By retracting your awning, you can preserve it and prevent rotting. Retractable awnings can be stored in low-profile units that blend in with your sidewalls.  

Extra Dining Space

Most people invest in retractable awnings because they want a little extra usable space during the summer. You can make great use of your back patio furniture with a sunsetter. You don't need to worry about packing away all of your furniture just because of a burst of summer rain. Furthermore, you patio furniture can be better protected from sun fading.

Heating and Cooling Your Home

A sunsetter awning can help reduce the heat in your home. An awning that covers your back sliding door can help reduce solar absorption in the room. This is a very helpful place to have some extra protection because it often leads to the dining room and kitchen. If you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, the afternoon soon can be quite a nuisance. The room heats up really quickly through the large glass windows. This is another reasons why retractable sunsetters are so useful. You can retract the sunsetter when you want the sun to help heat up that room.

Easy Operation and Motorized Awnings

Modern awnings are built with efficient, quiet, and easy-to-use motors. Some can even be controlled via an app on your smart phone. You'll have no trouble finding the remote to instantly open or close your awning. You can even invest in a smart unit that allows you to retract the awning through the app, even when you are not at home.

Retractable awnings are fun and useful addition to a back patio. It is an affordable upgrade that looks great and adds a little bit of functionality to your backyard or patio.
