When it’s a beautiful day outside, all you want to do is take advantage of your backyard for a day of rest and relaxation. But what if your neighbors’ homes feel too close to comfort? Do you feel anxious about prying eyes, even in your own backyard?


Having an awning or patio covering for your home is a great way to ensure you get some much-needed privacy as well as shade and shelter.

 

With an awning or patio cover, you can shield your backyard from the outside world effortlessly. Block off your neighbors’ view of your home without ruining your own view. Not to mention the added bonus of protecting yourself (and your patio furniture) from UV ray exposure while still being able to enjoy being outdoors. Arizona Awnings makes all that an easy reality.

 

Arizona Awnings installs all different types of awnings: small awnings for individual windows, extensive patio awnings, retractable awnings, shade structures, side awnings and more. Whatever your backyard shade desires, you can trust Arizona Awnings to design and install the perfect solution that will exceed your expectations for sun protection and privacy.

 

Select From a Wide Range of Fabric Color Options

 

With Arizona Awnings, you’re not only getting UV protection and privacy for your home but a personal design touch.

 

Show off your style with durable, high-quality Sunbrella™ fabrics. You can customize your awning or patio cover with a vibrant selection of colors, and, with a 10-year warranty, your shady hideaway will stay strong and bright for longer than many other fabric types.

 

Choose From a Host of Awning or Patio Cover Styles

 

Along with a varying selection of fabric colors, Arizona Awnings also lets you choose the style of awning or patio cover you need, customizing it to fit your home. Create your own sanctuary with a host of options:

 

Awnings

 

Traditional Awning

A popular and cost-effective option to significantly reduce heat absorption from windows.

 

Convex Awning

Cover your window or door frame with a dramatic arched look that adds character to your home.

 

Spear Point Awning

Classic and stylish look to shield your windows. Spear point rods exude timeless flair that pairs well with Tuscan style and Pueblo-style home.

 

Patio Covers

 

Shade Structure

Simple structures are simple yet effective. They can be used over pools, seating areas and any other large areas you need to shade.

 

Triangular Shade Sail

Triangle sails are one of the most common shade sail formats. They add a touch of high-end design dimension wherever needed while providing great shade.

 

Rectangular Shade Sail

Clean and chic, rectangular shade sails are popular for a good reason. Vary the heights of your attachments to add dramatic swoops and twists to your sail and turn simple shade into a showcase piece for your home.

 

Cabanas & Gazebos

 

With privacy on all sides, our cabanas and gazebos will give your backyard that polished touch of a resort. Put drapes or panels on cabanas or gazebos to help enclose any space, even a hot tub, to provide some privacy. You can also mount fans or TVs inside to transform your closed-off

space into a VIP retreat.

 

Some shade options for cabanas or gazebos include:

 

Roll Curtain

Vertical drop shades can be manually rolled up or down with a tie-off to either side. Excellent for patios with south or west exposure.

 

Drapes

While not having the option to roll up, drapes are perfect for your patio, cabana, gazebo or just about anywhere you want a touch of elegance.

 

Want More Privacy? Consider These Backyard Décor Options

 

If you’re looking to make your backyard even more private, consider adding any of these to your home:


  • Trees
  • Outdoor Curtains
  • Privacy Garden Screens
  • Plant Walls
  • Potted Planters
  • Fences
  • Hedge Walls
  • Trellises
