One thing we hear most often from our customers shopping for a Retractable Awning is their concern that the awning will not be big enough to cover their deck or patio. One model that is sure to work well for any large space is the Madera Giant, made by Alutex Awnings. The Giant can be manufactured in sizes up to 40′ wide and project up to 20′ out.
