These retractable patio awnings have a center beam stabilizer bar that runs lengthwise, giving a “Hip Roof” shape when extended. This carefully researched Marcesa 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, while also effectively shielding 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.
