Can you match my awning to my home's colour scheme?

Installation & Warranty
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex projects, such as roofing systems or pergolas, may take 2-3 days. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you handle council permits?
In most cases, our products don’t require council permits. However, for larger structures like roofing systems and pergolas, permits may be needed. We can guide you through the process and help with any paperwork required.
