Greenhurst Ascot Deluxe Easy Fit Garden Awning, 2.5 Metre Width

The Greenhurst Ascot is a retractable garden awning designed to provide flexible shade and weather protection for outdoor living spaces. It features a robust yet lightweight metal frame with weather-resistant powder-coated aluminium support arms, allowing it to be mounted to a wall or fascia. The canopy is made from durable 300g/m² polyester fabric in muted brown and green stripes, which helps it blend naturally into garden surroundings while offering protection from the sun's UV rays and light showers. Operation is straightforward via a manual winder mechanism that allows the canopy to be extended or retracted as needed, up to its maximum projection of 2 metres. The awning's pitch can be adjusted between horizontal and a 40-degree angle by loosening bolts on the support arms, providing control over water runoff and shade coverage. For winter storage or during prolonged bad weather, the entire unit can be detached from its wall brackets, which have a footprint of approximately 110mm x 40mm. Installation requires basic tools including a power drill with a 12mm masonry bit and an adjustable spanner, and the back bar is 35mm in diameter, with brackets that can be positioned to evenly distribute the awning's weight. This awning is well-suited for homeowners looking to create a sheltered extension of their living space onto patios, decking, or balconies. Its practical design makes it ideal for summer dining, relaxing in the shade, or providing a dry area during unpredictable British weather. The combination of easy operation, adjustable settings, and seasonal storage options makes it a versatile addition to most garden setups, particularly for bungalows or single-storey extensions where eaves clearance is adequate.
