Retractable Patio Awnings provide relief from the sun's intense heat, creating a usable/cool and shaded area for entertaining or relaxing.  Available in sunbrella canvas or solar screen material.  Basic system includes manual operation with a hand crank- electronic upgrades available- Electronics.

If your system is not mounted under an overhang or anything that will protect the material when rolled up you need a fascia (box enclosing system).  This really completes the shade system aesthetically and protects the material when not in use.  A system without a fascia will have the roller tube with the material exposed at the top.
