I need some advice regarding an awning.
Our terrace faces south and measures 10 meters (33 feet) wide and 4.30 meters (14 feet) deep. Since it gets quite warm in summer, we need some shade. We don’t want umbrellas. Originally, we considered a fixed roof, but we discarded that option because 1. it is too expensive, and 2. we don’t like the posts.
You enter the terrace through a sliding door on the right half and then sit on the left half.
Now I have two offers but can’t really decide. What do you think?
Option 1: Klaiber Resobox BX8000
ONE awning, 9.40 meters (31 feet) wide with a 4-meter (13 feet) projection.
+ Possibly looks better
- We like the cassette less than that of the BX4500
Option 2: Klaiber Camabox BX4500
TWO awnings placed directly next to each other: one 5 meters (16 feet) and one 4.4 meters (14 feet) wide, each with a 4-meter (13 feet) projection.
+ We like the cassette of this model much better
+ More flexibility in shading different sides of the terrace
- Gap between the awnings
- Both awnings must be installed perfectly to look right
Option 2 is about 300€ more expensive, which is not a decisive factor.

So, I have now also received a quote for a Weinor awning. It’s interesting that the Kubata model, which is available up to a width of 6.5m (21 feet 4 inches), can also be installed as a two-part awning. This would make it possible to have the fabric run continuously across the full width of the house.
I still need to ask for clarification on how this actually looks. I imagine that two cassette housings are simply installed, the inner sides are omitted, and the fabric is then stretched across the entire width. But I’m not sure, I need to check again.
From what I understood, Weinor is also considered one of the top brands. Price-wise, it is a bit more expensive than Klaiber but still within a reasonable range. That doesn’t make the decision much easier for me either. In any case, with Weinor it would be possible to get our preferred cassette style with a wide fabric panel. Regarding wind resistance, the representative said he wouldn’t worry. As long as you’re still sitting outside in the wind, the awning can handle it. He also mentioned that in 30 years he’s never had one torn off by the wind.
I now need to review both Klaiber and Weinor online again and sleep on it. Another positive point with Weinor is that all housing colors and fabrics are included. With Klaiber, these come at an additional cost.

Why not use a sail instead of a fixed awning for that size? It may be a bit more expensive, but you won’t have any restrictions on size. Plus, it looks significantly more modern than a traditional retractable awning. It can withstand winds up to Force 8 and is available in waterproof versions that won’t rot. For example, something like soliday.
