Shade Systems for Ontario
What Are Retractable Awnings?
Retractable awnings are wall-mounted or frame-mounted fabric shade systems that extend to provide instant sun and rain protection, and retract when you want full sunshine. Unlike fixed canopies, retractable awnings give you complete control over your outdoor comfort.
ROLLerUP installs three types of awning systems: retractable awnings (boxed and open cassette), fixed fabric awnings, and Pergolino systems — a heavy-duty retractable awning built on a pergola-style frame for larger spaces. All systems use premium Stobag fabrics engineered in Switzerland with UV protection, water resistance, and lasting colour.
Four Systems Available
Types of Awnings We Install
From wall-mounted retractable to freestanding Pergolino — we match the right system to your space, orientation, and budget.
Boxed Retractable Awning
A sleek, modern cassette that fully encloses the fabric and mechanical components when retracted. Wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. Adjustable incline from 0 to 85 degrees. Square or round cassette design available.
Best for: Homes without existing overhang. Maximum weather protection for the awning when stored.
Open Retractable Awning
A lightweight, economical option with an open roller design. Extremely stable thanks to triangular back bar technology. Angle adjustable manually up to 60 degrees. Projection can be greater than its width.
Best for: Homes with an existing overhang that provides natural protection for the roller.
Fixed Fabric Awning
A permanent outdoor structure providing continuous shade. Heavy-duty extruded aluminum frames. Available in fire-rated fabrics. Four styles: fixed valance, floating valance, round, and aluminum. Custom vinyl graphics available.
Best for: Front door entries, windows, and commercial storefronts requiring permanent shade.
Pergolino System
A heavy-duty retractable awning on a freestanding or wall-mounted pergola frame. Integrated water channel for lateral rainwater drainage. Automatic fabric locking (Stoblock) ensures high tension. Up to 6 metres of overhang possible.
Best for: Large patios and restaurant spaces needing extensive structural coverage.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do retractable awnings cost in Canada?
Retractable awning costs in Ontario depend on the system type (boxed, open, or Pergolino), size, fabric choice, and motorization. ROLLerUP provides free on-site estimates with transparent pricing. Our blog has a detailed cost guide comparing retractable, fixed, and motorized awning pricing.
Can I customize the size and colour of my awning?
Yes. ROLLerUP offers a wide variety of Stobag fabrics, colours, and sizes. Retractable awnings are available from 6 feet to nearly 23 feet wide. Fabrics come in solid colours, stripes, and premium finishes.
Are retractable awnings waterproof?
ROLLerUP awnings are water-resistant and designed to handle light rain, especially with Protect Plus fabric. We recommend retracting them during heavy storms or high winds to protect the fabric and mechanism for long-term durability.
Do you offer motorized awnings?
Yes. ROLLerUP provides both manual and motorized options. Motorized awnings are operated via remote control, wall switch, or smart home systems including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
What is the difference between a retractable awning and a louvered pergola?
A retractable awning extends and retracts a fabric shade — lighter, more affordable, and ideal for on-demand shade on decks and balconies. A louvered pergola is a permanent aluminum structure with adjustable louvers that control sun, rain, and snow. It is the better choice for a year-round outdoor room. Our Pergolino system bridges both — a retractable awning on a pergola frame.
How long does awning installation take?
Most awning installations are completed within a single day, depending on project size and complexity. ROLLerUP provides a clear timeline during your free consultation.
How do I maintain my awning?
Maintenance is simple. Clean the fabric occasionally with mild soap and water, and retract the awning during extreme weather. ROLLerUP also offers professional maintenance services if needed.
Are fire-rated awning fabrics available?
Yes. ROLLerUP offers Stobag Protect Plus fabric, which is flame-resistant. Both retractable and fixed awnings are available in fire-rated fabrics for commercial applications.
