Project Spotlight: Retractable Deck Awning in Edison, NJ

The Challenge

An Edison family's deck was a hotspot for weekend cookouts but baked in afternoon sun. They wanted shade they could roll out for gatherings and retract afterward — keeping the open feel of the deck the rest of the time.

The Solution

A motorized retractable awning extends to shade the seating and grill area at the touch of a button, then retracts into a compact housing. Fade-resistant acrylic fabric and an all-aluminum frame stand up to Jersey summers, and it tucks away safely before storms.

The Result

Comfortable, shaded cookouts on demand — and a deck that stays open and bright whenever they want the sun back.
