Features & Benefits
Cool Shade
Sunsetter owners outsmart the weather. They enjoy protection from passing showers and the hot summer sun. It can be as much as 20 degrees cooler under a SunSetter. Great for porches, decks, patios, poolside or garages
Ease of Use
Motorized models operate quietly with one touch of a remote control – in seconds. Our VISTA model uses a simple hand crank (included).
UV Ray Protection
Both Sunsetter fabrics block 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Much better protection than a tippy patio umbrella.
A Host of Fabrics & Color Choices
Our water repellent woven acrylic fabric has a wonderful texture and gorgeous designer color choices including exclusive stripe combinations available only from us.
Professional Installation
Our professionals can install your SunSetter in just one or two hours, over any kind of siding, on roofs and under eaves with special brackets. And we always clean up after ourselves.
Superior Craftsmanship
High quality enameled aluminum components, state-of-the-art lateral arm technology, and dependable Somfy motors in our motorized model are among the reasons Sunsunsetter is the leading retractable awning company in the U.S.
Reduced Air Conditioning Bill & Energy Use
By keeping the sun from coming in windows and sliding glass doors, a Sunsetter Awning can lower air conditioning bills and reduce a home’s “carbon footprint”, helping to reduce global warming.
Five-Year Warranty
Every Sunsetter comes with a 5-year or 10-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Good Housekeeping Seal
Every Sunsetter has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, Skin Cancer Foundation recommendation, and UL approval for the motor on the motorized model.
“We love our new Sunsetter awning! Now our deck is enjoyable ... even in the hot summertime.”
J.P. - Fuquay-Varina, NC
“I’m so glad we purchased our awning from Ed at Pleasant Shade. Our neighbors bought theirs from a ‘club warehouse’ only to find out that no one would install or service it for them.“
R.B. - Cary, NC
“We noticed that our air conditioning bill dropped after the awning was installed. The late afternoon sun was almost unbearable. Now we can watch TV without the heat and glare.”
