Shademaker Retractable Awnings Florida

Shademaker® is the retractable awning line we reach for when a Florida project calls for a modern cassette look, integrated lighting and serious motorization. Every Shademaker model is motorized with a Somfy® motor, uses Sunbrella® solution-dyed acrylic fabric, and is designed for sun, heat and coastal conditions. We ship them free from our home base in Tampa to anywhere in Florida.

Why Shademaker works in Florida

• Cassette housings for salt air. Zeus and the full-cassette Apollo enclose the fabric, arms and roller when retracted, so the fabric spends most of its life out of the sun and spray.
• Motorized as standard. Somfy motors with a 5-year warranty, remote and smart-home control, and compatibility with Somfy wind and sun sensors that retract the awning automatically when an afternoon storm builds.
• Sunbrella fabric. Solution-dyed acrylic with a 10-year fabric warranty and 150+ colors.
• Lighting built in. Zeus Night Series™ and Hercules Night Series™ put LEDs in the arms and front bar, which turns a daytime shade into an evening lanai or dining patio.
• Low western sun. Helios lets you drop the front bar after extending — the fix for Florida patios that face the 5 pm sun.

Shademaker for Florida businesses

Hercules spans up to 40 ft per unit with projections to 16'-6", and units can be linked for continuous coverage along a restaurant patio, pool bar or resort terrace. Motorized units can be grouped on one control so staff stow everything at once before a storm. See restaurant awnings, resorts and hospitality and commercial awnings.

Frequently asked questions — Shademaker awnings in Florida

Are Shademaker awnings motorized?

Yes. Every Shademaker model runs on a Somfy motor with a 5-year motor warranty and can be controlled by remote or integrated with a smart-home system.

Which Shademaker is best for a Florida lanai or pool deck?

The Zeus. Its slim full cassette encloses the fabric and arms when retracted, it comes 9 to 40 ft wide, and it offers LED lighting built into the arms.

How much does a Shademaker awning cost?

Current prices run from $4,322 for a Zeus to $23,225 for the largest Hercules, depending on model, width, projection and options, with free shipping to the lower 48 states.

Can a Shademaker awning stay out in a storm?

No retractable awning should be left extended in high wind. Shademaker awnings are compatible with Somfy wind sensors that retract them automatically, and they should always be retracted before a named storm.
