How to choose the best outdoor shade installation and repair specialist for your project

Outdoor shade installation and repair experts will be well-versed in the fitting and maintenance of shading systems in Australia. They will often specialise in either large, commercial shading systems or smaller, residential systems. Choosing a contractor that has expertise in the building type you are working on is a good place to start when choosing an expert. From there, location is important to think about. It is likely you will want your shading system repaired quickly. A professional who is local in your area, or nearby, will help you get your system back up and ready to use as quickly as possible.

When choosing an expert, you may want to ask these questions:

  • Where are you based?
  • How long have you been installing shade systems in Australia?
  • What project types do you specialise in?
  • What shading systems do you regularly maintain?
  • Can you outline what costs are involved in your service?
  • When are you available to start work?

FAQs

What height should an awning be?

In Australia, it is recommended that awnings should be placed at least 2.5 metres above the ground. This means that you will not feel cramped standing under the awning.

How long do awning motors last?

This usually depends on the quality of the motor. However, they will usually last 5-15 years. Most suppliers in Australia will have warranties lasting for about 5 years by the manufacturer. It is recommended that regular cleaning and maintenance is undertaken to increase the lifespan of the awning motor.

How often do awnings need to be replaced?

This is usually up to personal preference and depends on the quality of the awning. However, awnings will usually be replaced every 10–15 years to keep up with the style of the home and present the exterior in the best way possible.

Do you need a permit for a retractable awning?

You usually will not need a permit for a retractable awning in Australia. However, some exceptions include placing a retractable awning on levels higher than the first storey, or awnings over 20 square metres in size. It is useful to consult with a professional to ensure you do not require a permit.
