Retractable awnings in Charleston.

Open shade for the Lowcountry deck.

From Mount Pleasant porches to downtown courtyards, a retractable awning turns a sun-baked patio into usable living space without permanently boxing in your view. Shade Coast measures your deck, mounts a sturdy framework, and hands you control over the coverage.

• Motorized operation — extend and retract at the push of a button from inside the house; the framework simply plugs into a standard exterior outlet.
• Manual hand crank — a dependable auger-style crank option for homeowners who'd rather skip the motor.
• Acrylic fabrics — bold striped and solid acrylics that hold their color in the coastal sun and read beautifully from the yard.
• Large coverage — extends to shade big deck and patio areas, then rolls back flush when you want the sun.
