Has anyone installed something like this? The advantage is that it can be wrapped up, so presumably it can also withstand winter conditions.
Does anyone have price information to help me get an idea before I make an inquiry? Manufacturer names are also welcome.
Above all, what experiences have you had with it? Our problem is extreme wind, so a fixed sun sail is not an option as it likely wouldn’t hold up against the wind.
A permanent terrace roof will have to wait because it goes around a corner and will be expensive.

About 20 sqm (215 sq ft) even withstood storms like Kyrill. Self-installation in the mid-2000s cost around €1,500 (custom-made canvas. Rectangular with four different sides, two stainless steel posts set in concrete, and two wall fixings). There are plenty of suppliers available online.
I found it much airier back then compared to a fixed roof.

It's not just about winter; our house is located near the top of a mountain, and it experiences extreme wind even in summer—so strong that wind turbines have been installed nearby, even though we live in the Black Forest. That’s why I’m unsure if it will hold.
Have you anchored that into the facade? We specifically had a beam installed for mounting the awning, and I would like to place two anchors there.
@guckuck2 I'd rather spend 10,000 euros turning a crank, unfortunately.

There are plenty of sources online. I found it much airier than a fixed roof back then. Are you still happy with it? So far, I haven't found any long-term experiences, especially regarding how the sail looks or holds up after a few years.
