The Suntube Retractable Patio Awning System is an elegant, state-of-the art awning system that incorporates all the features the discriminating homeowner demands. Suntube enjoys the same quality components found in our popular Solair® Retractable Awning System.

The fabric on the Suntube is protected entirely by a unique tubular hood system when the awning is in the retracted position, prolonging the fabric's life expectancy. The tube is made of high quality, electrostatic powder-coated extruded aluminum. The extremely attractive styling of the Suntube System is complete with a designer-styled end cap for a finished look.

They can easily be mounted to any surface, wood face, ceiling, masonry wall, roof or to wood rafter of an open overhang. Two styles of mounting brackets are available and are attached with galvanized lag screws. When retracted, the awning systems are contained within a 10" square area.

Ground level detail
The front bar height for a private residence should be 7'0" from ground level. The height for a commercial building is 9'0" with the Suntube system. With a standard awning pitch of 18, the placement of the awning brackets will be determined by allowing 3" wall height for each arm foot. This location will be the center of the aluminum roller tube.
