About this project
Getting the height right was an important part of this patio awning in Naas. We used special brackets to raise the unit, pairing a green canopy with a silver frame.
This awning measures 3.66m across and projects 3m out from the building. Its proportions give it useful depth without needing a particularly long section of wall. The green fabric is a visible part of the design when the canopy is extended.
Why height changes the way a patio feels
The mounting height affects more than the appearance of a closed awning. It also influences the position of the front edge when the canopy is open. That is why raising the unit is an installation decision to consider early, alongside the doors and usable space below.
On another property, photographs taken from the side as well as straight ahead can help explain the available height. The raised arrangement in this Naas project provides a useful example, but the brackets and canopy position should be worked out for the particular wall.
Solution and installation
The raised brackets are what make this installation distinctive. They change where the awning sits on the building, so the mounting arrangement is considered together with the shade below. A motorised system and wind sensor complete the installation.

For a patio in Naas or nearby Sallins and Kill, mounting height is worth including in your first enquiry. A photograph of the upper wall helps explain whether a raised arrangement might be relevant to your property.
FAQ — Naas, County Kildare
Why were brackets needed to raise this awning?
The brackets were included to give the awning a higher mounting position. A different property would need its own fixing position assessed.
Which colours were chosen for the Naas patio?
The canopy is green and the construction is silver, creating a lighter frame around the fabric.
Can the raised arrangement be copied onto another house?
It can be a starting point for a discussion, but the wall construction, available height and awning size determine the appropriate mounting arrangement.
