After looking online, I think they actually might be a little more expensive than I had originally thought.  Sorry. Not sure what your budget looks like.
I'm actually thinking about replacing mine with a fabric awning. Mine's metal, maybe aluminim? And I swear the aluminum absorbs so much heat & makes that side of the house a lot hotter in the summer. It'd be great if I could install solar panels in it.  I don't think that's in my budget though. |
Yes, I was looking at those too....why is everything more expensive than we think they should be?!!!?
We used to have an aluminium awning at the back - but we actually took it down because of the noise of the rain bouncing off it - it was right underneath our bedroom window and was like water torture....
