Life Under the Shade

Protect Your Pets with Awnings and Interior Solar Screens

Pets need protection and relief from sun and hot weather. It’s natural for your dog or cat to want to stay cool and comfortable during the warmer summer months. They migrate throughout the day searching for the shade of a tree or bush outside or moving from one side of the living room to the other inside of the house.

Protecting Your Eclipse Retractable Awning from Premature Aging

Rain, dirt, flora, and fauna will do their best to shorten the life of your retractable awning.

The Advanced Belt Technology of Retractable Awnings

With industrialization in the late 1800’s, the use of flexible operable awnings became increasingly popular. Prior to the use of this hinged rope and pulley hardware, the only way to retract an awning was to roll it up by hand. Now a shopkeeper could protect his awning from sudden wind by quickly retracting the awning against the wall of the building and adjust it throughout the day, depending on the strength of the sun. However, the awning was attached to the building and would bunch up allowing damage and deterioration by rain, snow and wind. Modern technologies have eliminated these […]
