Manual folding-arm awning$2,500 – $6,000
Large motorised awning$5,000 – $10,000
What affects the price
— Awning style. Fixed window awnings cost a fraction of retractable folding-arm systems.
— Width & projection. Larger spans need heavier frames and more fabric, lifting the price quickly.
— Motorisation & sensors. Motors, remotes and wind or sun sensors add $500–$1,500 over manual operation.
— Fabric & frame quality. Acrylic canvas and powder-coated frames last longer than budget alternatives but cost more.
— Mounting & access. Brick versus lightweight cladding, and second-storey installs, change the fixing work required.
Tips before you post
— A wind sensor is worth it on motorised awnings — gusts are the main cause of damage.
— Check the fabric warranty separately from the frame warranty; they often differ.
— Measure the drop of the afternoon sun before choosing projection — bigger isn't always needed.
