Sunesta is a pioneer in the custom-manufactured retractable shade industry, and we’ve spent many years perfecting our craft and developing extra features that you can use to maximize the benefits of your investment in a retractable awning. For example, we understand that one of the advantages of a retractable awning over a fixed one is the ability to pull in your shade during high winds to protect it from damage. Thus, we offer optional wind sensors that can automatically retract your awning when the winds pick up, even if you’re not at home. We also offer both manually operated and electric retractable patio awnings. If you select the motorized version, you’ll have the option of adding wireless remote control and sun sensors for the optimal level of convenience.
