78-Inch Manual Retractable Window Awning

The 78-inch manual retractable window awning shades patios, balconies, and ground-floor windows without power or wiring.

Mount it above a kitchen window, slider, or balcony door and crank the arm to extend the canopy when the sun is harsh. Roll it back in when the weather turns or you want the view back. No motors, no app, no wired install.

Why this retractable awning works

• Manual crank operation: No motors or wiring to install, which makes it a simple weekend project for most homeowners and renters with permission.
• 78 inch width: Covers a standard kitchen window, slider, or balcony door without leaving the edges in direct sun.
• Retractable canopy: Pull it out when you want shade, roll it back when you want the view, the daylight, or to clear the way for snow and high wind.
• Outdoor materials: Built for patio and balcony use, with weather-tolerant fabric and an aluminum-style support arm.
• Cools rooms behind windows: Shading the window from the outside reduces heat gain through the glass, which is far more effective than blackout curtains alone.
• Multi-use: Works above patios, balconies, RV slide-outs, and ground-floor windows.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install this myself?
Yes. The manual design avoids electrical work, so confident DIYers can install it with a stud finder, drill, lag screws, and a helper to hold the housing while it is leveled and mounted to wall studs or solid masonry anchors.

Is it waterproof or just for sun?
The fabric is designed to shed sun and light rain. For heavy storms, snow, or sustained wind, retract the awning to protect both the canopy and the support arms from damage.

Will it actually cool the room behind the window?
Yes. Blocking sun before it reaches the glass reduces the greenhouse effect on the interior, which usually feels noticeably cooler than relying on indoor blinds alone during summer afternoons.

How wide an opening does it cover?
The 78 inch canopy fits most standard kitchen and bedroom windows and many balcony slider doors. Measure the wall span where you intend to mount it before ordering to confirm fit.
