Choosing to install a garden awning is an excellent way to enhance your outdoor living space, providing both functionality and style. At Cambridge Awnings, we understand how important it is to get everything just right. Our installation process is carefully designed to ensure your awning is ideally suited to your needs and expertly installed to last for years to come. In this blog, we take you through the step-by-step journey of how we install garden awnings with precision and care, ensuring you are left with a solid and practical awning to enjoy for years to come.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The journey begins with an initial consultation, where we discuss your specific requirements and vision for your garden awning. During this stage, our experienced team assesses the area where the awnings will be installed, understand your preferences for style, colour, and functionality, and provides guidance on the types of awnings available and their benefits. This consultation ensures we have a clear understanding of your needs and can recommend the best solution for the space.
Step 2: Bespoke Design and Customisation
Once we understand your requirements, we move on to the design phase. At Cambridge Awnings, we believe every garden awning should be tailored to the homeowner’s style and practical needs. This stage involves choosing the ideal awning type, such as retractable, freestanding, patio, or conservatory, selecting fabrics, colours, and patterns that complement your home’s exterior, and considering additional features, such as motorised operation or integrated lighting. By customising every aspect of your awning, we ensure it not only meets your needs but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space.
Step 3: Precise Measurements
Accurate measurements are critical to ensuring a flawless fit and smooth installation. Our team will visit your property to take precise measurements of the installation area. This step includes measuring the width and projection of the awning, identifying any structural considerations such as wall types or existing features, and ensuring the awning’s size is proportional to your garden or patio space. With exact measurements in hand, we can create an awning that fits and functions seamlessly.
Step 4: Professional Manufacturing
All our garden awnings are crafted using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. This ensures your awning is durable, weather-resistant, and built to perform. The manufacturing process involves creating a sturdy frame using robust materials like aluminium or steel, crafting the awning fabric with UV-resistant and waterproof materials, and assembling the components with precision to meet your specifications. Our commitment to quality ensures your awning will withstand the elements while maintaining its stylish appearance.
Step 5: Expert Installation
The installation phase is where your garden awning takes shape. Our skilled technicians handle every aspect of the process with care and attention to detail. This step includes preparing the installation area to ensure a secure and stable fit, fixing the awning brackets and frame to the wall or chosen structure, attaching the awning fabric and ensuring all mechanisms function smoothly, and conducting thorough testing to confirm everything is in perfect working order. Whether it’s a motorised awning or a manually operated one, we ensure it is installed to the highest standards, and ready for immediate use.
Step 6: Final Adjustments and Demonstration
Once the installation is complete, we perform the final adjustments to ensure everything is aligned and functioning as it should. We’ll also demonstrate how to operate your awning, whether manually or with a remote control, provide maintenance tips to keep the awning in excellent condition, and answer any questions you may have about your new garden feature. This step ensures you feel confident using your awning and understand how to care for it.
