Hello,
after getting quite a few sunburns on our terrace this summer, we now want to take advantage of the affordable “winter prices” and have an awning installed on our house.
Power and control cables, as well as the indoor switch and appropriate mounting brackets in the wall, are already in place.
What we have in mind is an awning with the following specifications:
- Cassette awning
- Width between 500 and 600 cm (197 and 236 inches)
- Projection between 350 and 400 cm (138 and 157 inches)
- Electric operation
- Some degree of water resistance, so that the terrace doesn’t have to be cleared every time there is a short shower
Optional features that would be “nice to have”:
- Wind sensor
- UV sensor for automatic extension and retraction depending on the sun’s position
- Lighting
Has anyone here had experience with an awning like this?
We would appreciate tips on manufacturers and models, and possibly also on installation partners in the Stuttgart metropolitan area.
It would also be interesting to learn the prices you have paid...
Best regards,
Dirk

The awning has the following dimensions: four meters (13 feet) wide with a two-meter (6.5 feet) electric extension. It is waterproof but does not have a wind sensor. Cassette type. Cost including connection and installation of the necessary electrical wiring: €2,100 in 2014.
According to the daughter, the fabric is of higher quality than the standard version.
Visually, I really like it, but in the coming years, we plan to add a structure similar to a cuboid shape on the corner of the house. Similar to the picture posted by Bauexperte in another thread.
This will then make us almost completely weather-independent again.
