Why the Sunflexx Is Worth the Price
Certified Engineered Wind Loads
Eastern Awning Systems says the Sunflexx is the only nationally sold retractable awning with certified engineered wind loads, tested on ordinary 2x4 stud walls. For Florida buyers who worry about afternoon gusts, that documentation matters.
Patented Urethane Shoulder Joint
The compression joint absorbs gusts from above or below and then returns to position. It carries a 10-year warranty on its own, on top of the 15-year frame warranty.
Heavy-Duty Arms and Hardware
Arm springs are rated at 240,000 PSI, delivering 700–800 lbs of cable tension, with 304 stainless steel cables and stainless hardware that stand up to coastal air.
Fabric Wraps the Front Bar
No bare metal rail is visible when the awning is closed, which gives a clean, finished look.

| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Wind & Rain Package (widths up to 30', projections up to 12') | $730 (8'–14' wide), $1,332 (15'–19'), $1,528 (20'), $1,823 (21'–26'), $2,314 (27'–30') |

Examples: a 16' x 10' Sunflexx at $5,195 with a 16' hood ($779) comes to $5,974 before motorization. Learn more in our hood and end cover and drop valance options.
Manual vs. Motorized Sunflexx
A manual crank costs less and needs no electrician. Plug-in motors also need no electrician, while hardwired motors should be connected by a licensed professional. Wind sensors retract a motorized awning automatically, sun sensors extend it when the sun hits, and motion sensors add convenience. In Florida, where sudden storms are common, most homeowners choose motorization with a wind sensor.
Who Is the Sunflexx Best For?
- Tampa and Florida homeowners who want a USA-made retractable over a patio, deck, or lanai
- Buyers who want certified wind-load documentation
- Anyone who values a long frame warranty (15 years)
- DIY-capable owners with two or three helpers and solid studs or masonry
- Restaurants and small businesses needing 8' to 24' of flexible shade
