About this project
A four-metre projection gives this Kildare awning a particularly deep canopy. Special brackets were also needed to work around the gutter, making both reach and mounting position important to the job.
The awning is 4.61m wide, so its outward reach is close to its span along the wall. This is a useful shape to look at when planning shade for an area that extends away from the building.
Allowing room around the table, not just over it
With a deep canopy, the useful area should be considered around the edge of the furniture as well as above its centre. Chairs, people moving through the space and the distance from the building all influence the layout.
The gutter-clearance brackets in this Kildare installation add another constraint above the seating area. It is a good example of why the chosen projection and the available mounting position need to be discussed together before the final dimensions are settled.
Solution and installation
The brackets position the unit clear of the gutter. Anthracite construction, LEDs in the arms, motorised operation and a wind sensor complete the installation. A mounting solution like this needs to be considered for the actual building rather than copied from dimensions alone.
Key benefits and project details
- 400cm projection from a 461cm-wide system
- Special brackets to miss the gutter
- U095 fabric with arm lighting
Location and surrounding areas
This project was completed in County Kildare.
For enquiries across Kildare, including Naas, Newbridge and Clane, mention any gutter or roof-edge restrictions early. A deeper canopy needs to suit both the outdoor layout and the available mounting position on your property.
FAQ — County Kildare
How far does this Kildare awning extend?
The specified projection is 4m.
Why were special brackets fitted?
They were used to avoid the gutter in the mounting arrangement.
Does a four-metre projection mean four metres of shade at all times?
No. Projection describes the canopy’s reach. The shaded area also depends on the sun’s angle, the mounting position and the time of day.
