Protect your awnings from frosty weather
Our shading solutions experts’ top tips on keeping awnings safe in colder temperatures
At Broadview, we offer a range of shading solutions for the sunniest weather, but we also offer options for the winter. With heating installation and weather-resistant material, you can be sure to find the highest quality awnings that will stand up to even the harshest frosts. Read on for top tips from our shading solutions experts on how to protect your garden awnings from frost this winter.
Choose weather-proof fabric
Here at Broadview, we pride ourselves on the fact that our awnings can stand up to all kinds of weather. From UV-resistant fabric in the sunnier months to wind and ice-resistant aluminium for winter, we offer shading solutions that will stand the test of time, whatever the weather.
Invest in a heater
Getting a heater installed in your awning will keep you and the family cosy during colder nights outside. Temperatures can plummet in the winter, and a heater can at least combat this if you’re using an awning late at night, though it’s obviously not recommended to leave it on all night!
Retract your awnings
Most of us spend our mornings de-icing the car windscreen in icy weather, but you can avoid having to do this to your awnings by retracting them before you go to bed the night before. Leaving them extended allows ice and frost to settle on the fabric, so retracting them can avoid this altogether.
