Sunflexx® Eastern Awning Systems Retractable Awning

The Sunflexx® is Eastern Awning Systems' top retractable awning, and 1800Awnings.com is Eastern's National Master Dealer. Order it built to your exact width, choose manual or motorized, and we ship it free to any of the 48 contiguous states, typically in 2–3 weeks.

Why people choose the Sunflexx

Most retractable awnings use rigid arm joints. When a gust pushes up or down on the fabric, that force goes straight into the arms and the wall mount. The Sunflexx is built around Eastern's patented urethane compression shoulder joint, which works like a shock absorber: it compresses under wind or rain load from either direction, then slowly returns to position. Eastern says this protects both the awning frame and your house from damage, and it's the reason the Sunflexx carries the industry's most comprehensive 15-year frame warranty.

The other thing you'll notice is the hidden front rail. The fabric wraps the front bar, so there's no strip of bare metal across the front of the awning. It looks cleaner from the patio and from the yard.

Built to be the strongest retractable awning on the market

Eastern engineers the Sunflexx "to withstand greater upward or downward force from unexpected inclement weather than any other retractable awning system," and it's the only nationally sold retractable awning with certified engineered wind loads. The numbers behind it:

• 38,000 PSI A356-T6 aluminum arm castings
• 240,000 PSI arm springs delivering 700–800 lbs of cable tension
• 2,400 lb breaking-strength 304 stainless steel arm cables
• Patented urethane compression shoulder joint that absorbs gusts from above or below
• Certified wind load testing on ordinary 2×4 stud walls
• 15-year frame warranty, including arm breakage and twisting under normal use

Installing your Sunflexx yourself

Eastern certifies the Sunflexx's wind loads on ordinary 2×4 stud walls, so a properly mounted DIY install holds up. With two or three helpers, most homeowners can lag the brackets into studs or anchor them into solid masonry, hang the awning and set the pitch in a day. Manual cranks and plug-in motors need no electrician; only a hardwired motor connection should go to a licensed pro. Download the installation manual above, then follow our step-by-step DIY retractable awning installation guide.
