Instant Shade Solutions — Motorized Retractable Awnings by Sunesta

In less than 60 seconds, a Sunesta retractable awning transforms your deck or patio from blazing sun to cool, comfortable shade — all at the touch of a button. No poles, no posts, no permanent structures. Just instant outdoor comfort designed for Minnesota's demanding climate.

How Instant Shade Works

Every Sunesta retractable awning features Somfy motorized operation with a wireless remote control. Press a button and your custom-built awning extends smoothly over your outdoor space, blocking up to 98% of harmful UV radiation. When you want full sun or need to retract for weather, one button press rolls it back into its protective housing. The entire operation takes less than 60 seconds — faster than setting up a patio umbrella.

Why Choose Motorized Over Manual

Manual awnings and umbrellas require physical effort, constant adjustment, and often result in uneven coverage. Sunesta's motorized system delivers precise, consistent shade coverage every time. Optional wind sensors automatically retract your awning during high winds, protecting your investment even when you are not home. Integrated rain sensors can also trigger retraction during unexpected showers.

No Poles, No Obstruction

Unlike traditional patio covers and pergolas, Sunesta retractable awnings mount directly to your wall, soffit, or roof — requiring zero ground support. This means no posts blocking your view, no poles cluttering your deck, and no permanent footings damaging your patio. When retracted, your outdoor space is completely unobstructed. When extended, you enjoy up to 14 feet 8 inches of shade projection without a single support leg.

Built for Minnesota Weather

Sunesta awnings are manufactured in Jacksonville, Florida — engineered to handle intense heat, high winds, and heavy rain. That same engineering performs brilliantly in Minnesota, where our summer sun is just as intense and our weather changes even more rapidly. With the industry's most extensive warranty and American-built quality, Sunesta delivers shade you can count on season after season. Call 763-271-3366 to schedule your free estimate.
