Retractable awnings are very durable as you can roll them to ensure they are not damaged by adverse weather conditions. They also come in various options like motorized awnings, hand-operated awnings, or those using the remote control. Folding arm awningsare also available in different shapes with the common ones being waterfall, concave, and solve styles.
