Retractable Awnings in Plantation, FL

Plantation has mature, tree-lined neighborhoods like Plantation Acres and Jacaranda, plus condos and townhomes around the city center. Larger lots mean larger patios, and Broward's HVHZ rules shape what gets permitted.

Wind, weather and permits in Plantation

Broward County is part of Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), with a design wind speed of about 170 mph, far beyond what any fabric awning can handle extended. No retractable awning is a hurricane product. Every awning should be retracted before storms, and we recommend motorized operation with a Somfy® wind sensor on every South Florida install. Wind speeds are approximate. Your building department can confirm the values for your address.

Broward's HVHZ rules mean you should expect a permit for a new awning. Check with the City of Plantation building department before installing. Motorized awnings may also need an electrical permit, and we supply specs and documentation for your application.
