Large awnings for patios.

Discover inspiration.

If you are wondering which solar protection is suitable for large patios, you may come across many different options during your research. Large awnings for patios are particularly popular for detached houses with a garden. With awnings that shade a wide and long terrace, summer becomes a pleasure. Instead of sweating on the patio, you can make yourself comfortable in a shady spot. To make a large patio cosy, the awning can be perfectly integrated into the garden design. Either discreetly and unobtrusively or as a splash of colour.

The product range no longer only includes classic folding-arm awnings. For large areas, pergola awnings are also suitable, where the awning cover is tensioned by lateral guide tracks. The awning stands on two legs and is mounted on the house wall. Free-standing awning systems can also be considered, for example if a fixture on the building is not possible or if shade is required away from the building. Side elements or shadeplus can be integrated to provide all-round protection.

Every patio is unique - be it in size, location or shape. These factors play a decisive role in choosing the right awning. In addition, personal preferences in terms of colour and design also influence your individual solar protection requirements.

If you are looking for awnings for large terraces, markilux is the right place for you. Some models have been specially designed to shade large areas. These include awnings with large widths and extensions or, alternatively, several awnings can be linked together so that a larger width can be covered.

Our markilux pergola awnings promise large-area shade. Max. width × extension of 7x7 metres, the pergola stretch model, for example, can shade up to 49 square metres with just one panel. Pergola awnings are awning systems that are particularly wind-resistant thanks to their construction with lateral guide tracks on slim posts. The system also ensures optimum cover tension in every extension position. Thanks to the electric operration, you get shade at the touch of a button or automated via smart home or weather-dependent control.

Large awnings do not necessarily connect directly to the building. However, solar protection is still required for unrestricted use of the outdoor area. Free-standing awnings and awning systems are ideal for shading precisely such areas. This provides flexibility in terms of both location and fixture. Depending on the model, free-standing awnings can be fixed with ballast boxes so that there is no need for a foundation.

The awning models listed above can be supplemented with additional elements to provide all-round protection. The shadeplus option is available for a large number of markilux awning models. This is a vertical roller blind in the front profile that can be lowered vertically if required. Alternatively, supplementary side or vertical roller blinds can be integrated into the shading concept. The possibilities for holistic solar protection are many and varied.
