Freestanding awnings

Awning systems for open spaces. 

Freestanding awnings are the flexible awning choice for buildings that can’t have an awning attached or shade is needed and no buildings are nearby.

Freestanding awning flexibility

If you’re unable to mount an awning to a wall then a freestanding awning may be for you. Great for targeting shade exactly where it’s needed and sunny nooks at the bottom of the garden.

Choose the Planet Flex option for 335-degree rotation, so your shaded area is always exactly where you want it.

Butterfly awnings

A freestanding double awning can provide shade up to 60m² and is a standout option for any garden or patio.

Markilux Syncra

The Markilux Syncra dual posts are available in round and square options and can be fitted directly to the ground or with ballast boxes that double up as extra seating.

Designed to fit anywhere

Freestanding awnings are designed to go where they are needed, without the need for an existing supporting wall.

Freestanding awnings retract into a stylish weather tolerant frame in a single or double pole and can be secured to a concrete base or via a heavy-duty ground fixing system.
