Why Canvasland
A spring arm awning gives you retractable shade operated by hand, with spring-loaded arms doing the work of extending and holding tension. It's a simpler mechanism than a motorised lateral arm system, at a lower cost, and still gives you shade on demand over a window, deck or entrance.
Retractable, simply
Spring-loaded arms extend and retract by hand — no motor required.
Lower cost
A simpler mechanism than a motorised lateral arm system.
Made to your space
Custom width and projection, not a generic bracket kit.

How is this different from a lateral arm awning?
Spring arm awnings use simpler spring-loaded arms, operated by hand — a lower-cost option than our motorised-capable lateral arm system.

Will it handle wind?
Retract it in strong wind, same as any retractable awning.
