1. Protect Your Entryway from Rain and Harsh UV
Nobody wants to be blasted by sun or rain right at their front door. Our awning uses a 6mm blue-tinted polycarbonate panel that blocks over 99% of harmful UV rays and shields your entry from rain, wind, and even light hail.
The board is rated UV 50+, helping reduce heat buildup indoors and prevent fading on doors and trim. Its curved design ensures rainwater flows off the sides, keeping your threshold clean and dry.
2. Built to Last, Designed for Low Maintenance
This isn’t a flimsy fabric awning. It’s made from high-impact polycarbonate and supported by durable black ABS brackets, which resist corrosion, cracking, and rusting. That means year-round performance, no matter the weather.
And cleaning? It’s as easy as spraying it down with your garden hose or wiping with a mild soap. That’s it.
3. Easy DIY Installation — No Handyman Required
Want a home upgrade that doesn’t eat up your weekend or your wallet? You can install this awning in under 30 minutes using just a power drill and level.
The kit comes with pre-drilled holes, full mounting hardware, and a clear instruction guide. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or it's your first time using a drill, this project is truly plug-and-play.
💡 You’ll be surprised how easy it is to transform your entryway in just one afternoon.
4. Modern Style That Matches Any Home
The awning’s sleek black bracket and subtle blue-tinted panel make it a natural fit for most home styles—from brick ranches to modern farmhouses. It adds a clean architectural detail without overwhelming your façade.
Need to cover a longer window or a sliding patio door? The awning is modular—you can connect multiple kits side by side for expanded coverage with a seamless look.
5. A Smart Investment That Adds Long-Term Value
This awning doesn’t just make your home look better—it protects it, too. By reducing UV exposure and keeping moisture off your doors and window frames, it helps prevent rot, fading, and energy loss.
At a price point under $100, it’s an affordable upgrade that saves money on repairs and cooling costs down the line.
