Strong, Durable Components
Your SunSetterÆs hardware is made from rust-proof, aircraft-quality aluminum, with a baked enamel finish that will never need painting. That makes your awning light-weight yet very strong. We donÆt suggest you sit on your SunSetter, but itÆs strong enough that you could! Our Lateral-Arm awnings (Motorized or VISTA models) use a sophisticated double cable system for smooth, reliable operation. Our Somfy® electric motor is the best in the industry.

100% Waterproof Fabric Blocks over 99% of harmful UV Rays
Our multi-layer fabric is superior to ordinary awning fabrics in quality, strength, pigmentation and more. While some awning fabrics are not completely waterproof, ours is. While some awning fabrics donÆt block out the majority of harmful UV rays, ours blocks out over 99%. And while many awning fabrics will fade and pick up dirt, ours holds its color and is easy to keep clean, too! For more on this great fabric, click here.

American Quality
Our awnings are assembled right here in our Malden, Massachusetts factory, under the strictest quality control. And theyÆre all backed by our 5-Year Limited Warranty and Risk-Free Home Trial. We know youÆll be absolutely delighted with your awning, or weÆll buy it back!

Best Awning Prices in America
You can pay more for an awning but you simply wonÆt find better built, easier operating, more versatile, more fully warranted awnings than SunSetters.

Highest Quality
Our powder-painted aircraft-quality aluminum hardware and components are rust-proof and will never need painting.

Exclusive Fabric
Our awning fabric is superior to most awning fabrics in strength, thicker pigmentation and more. ItÆs 100% waterproof ù something many awning fabrics canÆt claim! ItÆs also easy to clean, mildew-resistant, and flame-resistant. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this product as an effective UV protectant, with 99.9% protection against UVA and UVB. SunSetterÆs multilayer fabric is superior to ordinary awning fabrics in quality, strength, thicker pigmentation and more. Our 14 oz., 1000 Denier fabric has double-sided color and five layers for maximum strength, protection, and fade-resistance. Two coats of acrylic protects against UV degradation and scratches on top, and provides an easy-to-clean surface. Two thick, 5.5-mil vinyl pigmentation layers help colors stay true and fade resistant for years. An innermost layer is 9 x 9, 1000 Denier scrimù made with industrial-grade round filament Dacron for superior wear and strength. Our fabric is easy-to-clean, 100% waterproof, mildew-resistant and flame-resistant. Stripes Make our Awnings Brighter and Cooler:  All our decorator stripe patterns are purposely designed to become lighter in color toward the top, changing to solid cream at the upper section. This helps keep temperatures under the awning cooler, and lets in more light under the canopy.

Beautiful Color Choices
All our awnings come in 12 beautiful decorator color choices including solid colors and stripe patterns. Our striped patterns are purposely designed to help keep temperatures under your awning cooler, and to let more light in under the canopy.

SunSetter Motorized Awning Measuring Instructions
To get the right size SunSetter Motorized Awning for your deck, please measure your deck or patio following the easy directions below.

1. Measure the height of the wall where you want to install your awning. You need at least 7 ft. 6 in. from your deck or patio floor to the bottom of any roof, eave, or overhang to fit the SunSetter Motorized Awning. (If you donÆt have this much clearance, you can install our other models.)

2. Measure along the side of your house to decide how wide an awning you want. The SunSetter Motorized awning comes in pre-cut widths from 10 ft. to 18 ft. in one-foot increments. With the exception of the 10' awning, which measures 122" left to right, all other Motorized awnings measure exactly like their defined size. Example, a 12 ft. awning is 12 feet wide. The actual fabric width is 4+" less than the total awning width.

3. Decide if you will install your awning on the wall (most common installation, using our standard wall brackets), or to the underside of your overhang (make sure you request our soffit brackets for this type of installation). If your awning will be installed on the wall, you will need at least 8 inches of clear, unobstructed space horizontally along your wall where the awning will fit against the house.

Sunsetter awnings can only be shipped within the USA.
