Folding-arm awnings are a popular external shading solution designed to provide wide, open shade without the need for posts or vertical supports. Using articulated arms, the awning extends outward to create a large shaded area and retracts neatly when not in use, preserving views and architectural lines.

 

These awnings are ideal for patios, decks, balconies and outdoor entertaining areas where flexible shade is needed throughout the day. By blocking direct sunlight before it reaches windows or outdoor surfaces, folding-arm awnings help reduce heat and glare while keeping spaces open and inviting.

 

For homes in Newcastle and surrounding coastal areas, folding-arm awnings offer a practical way to manage strong sun exposure while maintaining a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. At Coastal Shades and Shutters, we install a range of folding-arm awnings to suit different spaces, budgets and usage needs, all designed to improve comfort and usability year-round.
