Retractable Awnings

The best part about living in the desert is being able to enjoy your outdoor space as much as possible. Unfortunately, the sun (even during our cooler winter months) can be harsh. At Shades By Design, we offer great solutions to give you more enjoyment of your property with retractable awning structures. They are completely customizable to shade any area of your home or business.

Why Consider Installing Retractable Awnings

  • Enhances the beauty of your property.
  • Reduces energy and air conditioning costs.
  • Safeguards your home’s interior from the sun’s harmful rays.
  • Creates shade or allows sunlight when you want it.


Retractable awnings are a great addition to any outdoor space, offering a range of benefits that make them a smart choice for homeowners and businesses in Southern California. These versatile shades provide instant relief from the sun's harsh rays, keeping your outdoor area cooler and more comfortable. What makes retractable awnings particularly appealing is their flexibility; you can retract them when you want to bask in the sun or extend them to create a shaded oasis. This adaptability not only enhances your outdoor living experience but also helps lower energy costs by reducing indoor cooling needs. With their aesthetic appeal, durability, and functionality, retractable awnings are the perfect option for anyone seeking to maximize their outdoor living space.
