Choosing the Right Retractable Awning for Your Kansas City Home

Awnings — April 2, 2026

Three Sunesta models, widths up to 40', and 130+ fabric options — here's how to pick the awning that fits your space and lifestyle.

Start with the space

Measure your deck or patio width and the projection you need for shade at the time of day you use it most. The Sunesta Model handles widths up to 40' with a 14'8" projection — ideal for large entertaining areas — while the Sunlight Model is a great fit for smaller balconies and patios.

Pick a fabric that fits your home

With over 130 exclusive Sunesta fabric options across solids and patterns, you can match your trim, siding, or accent colors. Our consultants bring physical samples to your home so you can see how each option looks in your actual lighting.

Consider upgrades

Add a SmartCase for year-round fabric protection, a SmartDrop front-drop valance for low-angle sun, a wind sensor for automatic retraction, or LED lights to extend your evenings outside.
