Motorized retractable awnings are definitely in vogue, and inexpensive offerings such as the Sunsetter are very tempting, but just because you don’t want to spend a lot of money doesn’t mean you have to go with a product of inferior quality. After all, this addition to your home is meant to last for many years.

Inexpensive Doesn’t Mean Inferior
The SunShelter is built right here in the USA and made out of high-grade materials, including Sunbrella fabric. Sunbrella is a quality brand of fabrics known for its durability and resistance to UV rays, water, mold, and mildew. Sunbrella fabric comes backed with a 10-year warranty where the Sunsetter’s fabric offers only five years. Sunbrella offers 100s of colors where the Sunsetter offers only 28. The SunShelter also uses a powder-coated finish, which is more durable and environmentally safe than the baked enamel finish found on the Sunsetter.
Degrees of SunShelter
The SunShelter Regal is designed for heavy-duty performance at a light-duty price. It is our most affordable model, designed for residential use. The Regal offers widths of up to 23 feet and projections from 5 feet-3 inches to 11 feet-2 inches and can be equipped with a manual hand-crank instead of a Somfy motor for further cost reduction. It is also backed up with an eight-year warranty on the frame.
