Sideways shade, instant privacy.

The Retractable Side Awning & Privacy Screen is a horizontally-pulling barrier that creates instant privacy, wind protection and zoning for terraces, balconies and cafe dividers — extending from a slim wall or floor cassette and retracting fully away when not in use. Built and shipped factory-direct from Awnova's Hebei facility, it is engineered for importers and hospitality buyers who need a durable, spec-accurate unit with full retractable awning OEM/ODM support behind it.

Why it works

Mounted to a wall or set in a weighted freestanding base, the screen pulls out horizontally on a self-tensioning spring mechanism and locks at the opposite post. It blocks side wind, low sun and sightlines between adjacent seating without permanent construction.

When closed, the fabric winds neatly into an aluminium cassette that shields it from UV and rain, so the unit stays clean and ready between seasons — a practical advantage for cafes rotating outdoor layouts and rental properties.

Build & materials

The frame and cassette are extruded 6063-T5 aluminium with a powder-coat finish for corrosion resistance and a clean, modern profile. Standard fabric is solution-dyed acrylic (~280-300 gsm) for colourfastness and water repellency; breathable HDPE mesh and PVC-coated polyester are available for higher wind permeability or full waterproofing.

Operation is manual spring-tension as standard, with optional tubular motorisation compatible with Somfy and Becker drives for fixed installations. All units are assembled to ISO 9001 process control and SGS-tested for fabric and seam performance.

Customization & OEM

Full OEM/ODM is supported: custom widths and projections, RAL frame colours, fabric shade selections, branded valances or logos, and retail-ready packaging. We supply private-label units, manuals and barcoded cartons for distributors building their own catalogue line.
