Retractable Awnings
Premium Sunbrella fabrics, motorized operation, and a design that matches your home — shade exactly when and where you want it.
Shade on Your Terms
A retractable awning gives you the ultimate flexibility: shade when you need it, full sun when you don't, and a clean look when it's retracted. At Bluefin Designs, we install premium retractable awning systems that combine Sunbrella performance fabrics with reliable motorized operation.
Sunbrella fabrics are the industry standard for outdoor shade — offering exceptional UV protection, fade resistance, and water repellency in hundreds of colors and patterns. We help you select the perfect fabric that complements your home's exterior and style.
Our awnings are engineered for coastal conditions with wind-rated frames, rust-resistant hardware, and optional wind sensors that automatically retract the awning in high gusts. Whether it's a patio, deck, or poolside, we custom-size every installation for a seamless fit.
- Premium Sunbrella fabric options
- Motorized and manual operation
- Wind-resistant designs for coastal conditions
- Custom sizing for any patio or deck
- Color matching to your home's exterior
