Colorado gives you a lot of sunshine, and at 5,000 feet and up, that sun hits harder than it does at sea level. A retractable awning lets you decide how much of it you want.
Roll it out for shade over the deck at lunch, then pull it back in to watch the stars or when a Front Range storm rolls in. Since 1957, Peterson Canvas & Awning has designed, built and installed retractable awnings for homes from Fort Collins and Loveland to Boulder, Longmont, Estes Park and Cheyenne. Every awning is measured for your home and installed by our own crew.
Up to. Sources: California Energy Commission; U.S. Department of Energy and ASHRAE studies (55–65% on south-facing, 72–77% on west-facing windows).
Serving the Front Range: Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Estes Park, Cheyenne and more.
Retractable awnings are made for shade, so they should be rolled in during high wind, hail and heavy snow. Add a Somfy wind sensor and the awning retracts automatically when gusts pick up, even when you’re not home.
Keep it retracted during winter storms. When it’s rolled up, the fabric is protected, and on mild sunny winter days you can still roll it out.
Price depends on the width and projection, the fabric, and options like motors and sensors. We’ll measure your space during a free in-home estimate and give you a firm quote.
Yes. Somfy motors let you open and close the awning with a remote or wall switch, and they’re backed by a 5-year warranty.
Our own installation team. We don’t subcontract, so the people who measure and build your awning are the same people who stand behind it.
