flexibility meets design

Freestanding awnings are awnings that do not have to be attached to a building. In some cases, the structural conditions do not allow an awning to be attached to the facade. Or there is no building nearby. This may be the case, for example, if you have a second terrace away from the house or want to shade your pool area. In such cases, you do not have to do without an awning at all, but can easily resort to the freestanding awning models.

If you still want to have a classic folding-arm awning, the markilux planet or markilux syncra models are suitable. The markilux planet is a type of awning parasol with a round aluminium post and square crossbar for attaching one of our folding-arm awnings. It is therefore an ideal design element for your outdoor area. A special highlight: In the flex version, it can be swiveled up to 335° so that it can move with the sun and thus provide perfect shade at all times.

A stylish sun protection for large areas is the awning stand system markilux syncra. This is a free-standing system made of aluminium that can be combined with folding-arm awnings or the markilux pergola models. This allows awnings to be installed in open spaces, either with concrete foundations or, for even more flexibility, using stabilisation boxes. For shading large areas, awnings can be attached to the crossbar on both sides, creating a double awning.

The third free-standing model available is markilux markant, a cuboid awning system for sun and weather protection. This model is ideal for covering large areas. In combination with markilux vertical blinds and the markilux format side elements, an outdoor retreat is created.

You can complete the freestanding awnings with additional equipment such as LED lighting, infrared heaters or convenient operating options, e.g. remote control, app or weather-dependent sensors.

Yes, freestanding awnings are specifically designed to withstand weather conditions such as sun, rain, and even wind. They are made of weatherproof materials that are both sturdy and durable.

The fabrics of the awnings are water repellent and UV-resistant, depending on the type of cloth. Thus, they protect not only from the sun's harmful UV rays, but also from light rain.

The awning frame is made of high quality materials such as aluminum, which is known for its strength and durability.

However, even though freestanding awnings are strong and durable, extreme weather conditions such as storms or hail can still cause damage. Therefore, we recommend retracting the awning during inclement weather to maximize its operating life and prevent damage.

Yes, there are a variety of awning covers and frame colors to choose from to match your awning to your home's aesthetics.

Additionally, with the markilux syncra and markilux planet, you are free to choose which awning to attach to the upright systems.

There are models that allow for very large-scale shading. The markilux markant is particularly suitable for large areas. The maximum size of a single awning is 3 x 6 meters. As a double system, you can double this area and come to a total of 36 square meters.

Yes, various lighting options such as LED-Line or LED-Spots are available for many freestanding models. Infrared heaters can also be integrated.

Yes, many models offer the option to integrate additional components to extend your privacy and protect you from low sun, wind and weather. For the markilux markant model, for example, it is possible to attach lateral elements of the markilux format type or vertical blinds.

Basically, our awnings are professionally installed by a markilux specialist partner. Depending on which model you choose, a concrete foundation is required. If you prefer an installation that requires less effort, stabilisation boxes are available for the markilux syncra model, for example.

The same care instructions apply to freestanding awnings as to other types of awnings. Generally, no extensive care is required because our awning fabrics have a self-cleaning effect. Water droplets absorb dirt particles and bead off the awning cover. Therefore, we recommend from time to time to leave the awning extended in light rain. If there are leaves or similar dirt on the fabric cover, you should remove them immediately. Dust can be removed with a soft brush when dry. More stubborn stains can be cleaned with water and an ordinary liquid mild detergent. A 5 percent soap solution with a maximum water temperature of 30° C is optimal.
