Outdoor Freestanding Awnings

Freestanding awnings are a flexible solution that allows for ample sun and rain cover without the need for mounting the awning to a wall. We offer several options for freestanding awnings to suit a range of space and budget requirements for the ideal addition to your outdoor space, whether you want space to relax and enjoy the weather in privacy or cover for al fresco dining.

Providing UV protection from the sun, as well as shelter from the wind and unexpected rain showers, freestanding awnings enable you to make the most of your garden or patio for longer and are an affordable solution that adds a touch of luxury to your space.

What Are The Benefits Of Freestanding Awnings?

Freestanding awnings are more durable than pop-up tents or canopies and offer the opportunity for a bespoke finish with our range of custom fabrics. With a freestanding awning, you have protection from the elements which enables you to use your garden whatever the weather and extends your living space without the need to install a permanent structure.

They’re easy to assemble and because they’re not fixed, you have the option of moving them whenever you want to create different relaxation areas in your garden. Freestanding awnings are particularly well suited to properties where it’s difficult or impossible to fix an awning, such as an uneven façade or an inadequate substrate.

The sturdy aluminium frames of our freestanding Markilux awnings ensure that the awning can support itself in windier weathers without the need for additional weight, and with water-resistant fabric that’s designed for outdoor use, they’re suitable for rain showers as the water will run right off. We also supply textiles that deliver UV protection and transparent fabrics that provide protection from the sun without impacting the view.

How Freestanding Awnings Differ From Other Styles

As the name suggests, a freestanding awning doesn’t need to be mounted to the wall, so the framework of the awning forms the base. They’re a popular style to use in open spaces as well as poolside, on lawns and patios, and for commercial settings such as bars and restaurants. Freestanding awnings allow for versatility and maximum airflow surrounding the awning for comfort when you’re enjoying time outdoors.
