Retractable Awnings in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville is Florida's largest city by area, with backyards on the St. Johns River, the Intracoastal and the Atlantic beaches. First Coast homeowners deal with summer heat, salt air near the beaches, and nor'easters that bring days of wind in fall and winter. A retractable awning gives you shade when it's hot and a clear, open patio when you want the sun on a cool winter day.

Design wind speeds in Jacksonville run roughly 130–140 mph, lower than South Florida but with more frequent multi-day wind events from nor'easters. We recommend a Somfy® wind sensor and a hood or cassette for beach homes. Permits vary between the City of Jacksonville (Duval), St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties and the beach cities; check before installation.

Jacksonville FAQ

Is a retractable awning worth it with Jacksonville's cooler winters? Yes. That's an advantage over a fixed cover: roll it back in winter to let the sun warm the patio and your home, and extend it in summer.

How do I protect the awning during nor'easters? Retract it. A wind sensor will do it automatically.

How do I get an awning to Jacksonville? Every retractable awning ships free from Tampa, typically 2–3 weeks after order.
