Folding Arm Awnings are very useful in settings where permanent
shade is not desired and obstructions such as posts need to be
avoided. They operate by extending on arms away from a fixed structure
(wall) to an extension of up to 4.0 meters.
Optional sun and wind sensors can be installed to make the unit
retract depending on weather conditions. Common applications include:
- Street
cafe's
- North
facing windows in low wind areas
- Over
decking of outdoor entertaining areas

This
structure was first developed for The Mulgrave Country Club, a major
suburban venue for gaming, lawn bowls, and recreation. Horizon Sailmakers
were approached to design a “funky” bowling shelter for
their new championship
green.
The
design can also be easily modified to include drop curtains at the
rear and sides.
