These retractable patio awnings have a center beam stabilizer bar that runs length wise giving a “Hip Roof” shape when extended. This carefully researched Empire trademarked design makes this Marcesa™ model more spacious, stronger, and more stable in the wind. The fabric is kept tighter, and there is less sagging, and it also offers a more effective shield from direct low angle sunlight. The increased slope to the front half of the awning ensures more headroom at the back half while enhancing the beauty of the outdoor living room. Available on all models except Imperial Cross / Over.
