Back Porch Awning: A Little Roof That Changes Everything
You walk out the back door with a cold drink and the sun hits you like a spotlight. One small awning fixes that. It gives shade, stops rain, and makes the porch feel like another room.
Pick Your Look
• Flat top: clean lines for modern houses.
• Curved: rain slides off fast, looks classic.
• Glass-clear: see the sky, stay cool.

Size Hack
Measure the porch width, add 20 cm each side. Project 8 ft if you want to cover a table, 6 ft for two chairs.

Wind Tip
Use 2 mm aluminum frame and stainless screws into brick or wood. Good awnings take 60 mph gusts.
