Awnings provide shade on hot days while protecting you from rain and wind. Awnings can be stationary or retractable. They are normally made of materials like aluminum, cloth, vinyl, or wood. Automatic awnings are operated with a motor that allows homeowners to store and take out their retractable awnings with the touch of a button
A non-retractable metal awning could cost $1,500 to $3,000, depending on types of coverage and metal you use. A motorized retractable awning for a patio can cost $3,500 to $5,000.
