About this project
This Deansgrange installation uses a pair of awnings. Matching frames and canopy fabrics give the two units a coordinated appearance, with a separate fabric choice at the front.
Each awning measures 4.61m wide and projects 3.5m. These are the dimensions of each unit, not of the pair added together. A two-unit arrangement is worth considering where the areas to be shaded are better served by separate canopies.
Keeping a pair visually connected
Using two awnings introduces more than a question of total width. The spacing between the units and the way their fronts line up affect how the finished arrangement looks.
Here, matching construction and canopy fabric help the pair feel related. The separate front material is another part of that combination. For a new paired project, discuss each mounting position and each area of shade separately, then bring the colours and proportions together as one overall design.
Solution and installation
The frames share an anthracite finish. The main canopy and front fabric use different materials, allowing those parts of the design to be chosen separately. Motorised operation and a wind sensor are included in the project.
Key benefits and project details
- Two units, each 461cm by 350cm
- R164 main fabric with 92-2047 front fabric
- Matching RAL 7016 construction
Location and surrounding areas
This project was completed in Deansgrange, Dublin.
For paired awnings in Deansgrange or neighbouring Kill of the Grange and Foxrock, show both proposed mounting positions. Matching finishes can be discussed together while the individual dimensions and fixing conditions are assessed separately.
FAQ — Deansgrange, Dublin
Does 4.61m describe both awnings together?
No. Each of the two awnings is 4.61m wide, with its own 3.5m projection.
Are the main canopy and front made from the same fabric?
Different references are used: R164 for the main canopy and 92-2047 for the front.
Should two awnings be treated as one measurement?
Measure and assess each position separately. Their spacing and alignment can then be considered together, rather than treating two units as a single continuous canopy.
