A retractable awning is generally used to cover a deck or patio and provide shade and shelter from rain. Many people don’t realize that awnings can be utilized in a host of other settings. Here are some creative ways to use a retractable awning at your Connecticut home.

Create a Covered Outdoor Play Area

Playing outside can be beneficial for children’s physical and mental health, but you don’t want your kids to be outdoors for hours in the blazing summer sun or in the rain. A simple solution is to use a retractable awning to cover a section of your yard. Your kids will be able to play to their hearts’ content and be shielded from harsh weather.

Shade a Greenhouse

If you use a greenhouse to grow your own vegetables, you know that the temperature inside must be carefully regulated. That can be hard to do on hot, sunny days. A retractable awning can reduce the amount of sunlight that enters the greenhouse and help you maintain ideal growing conditions.

Use an Awning to Cover an Outdoor Seating Area

Your backyard or garden might be decorated with a beautiful fountain or another type of water feature, or it might have a bench where people like to simply relax and take in the scenery. Blazing sunlight or rain can make it uncomfortable to sit outside and keep people from enjoying the beautiful surroundings. You can place a retractable awning over the outdoor seating area so your family and guests will be able to sit for as long as they want and stay comfortable.

Provide Shade and Privacy Near Your Pool

Taking a dip in a pool can quickly cool you off, but lounging poolside can be unbearable in hot summer weather. With a retractable awning covering part of the patio around the pool, you and your guests will be able to swim, relax in the sun, and retreat into the shade whenever you choose.
