2. Versatility and Customization
Eclipse Awnings offer a wide array of options when it comes to customization. Whether you need them for your home patio, a restaurant terrace, or a hotel poolside area, Eclipse awnings can be seamlessly integrated with the needs and decor of your outdoor space.

Drop Shade:
Add even more solar protection and enhance your privacy. The drop shade option features an open mesh and sun screen fabric that extends down from the front bar over the width of the awning. The Drop Shade is self-storing and can be motorized or manually operated. Whether you are looking to entertain guests more comfortably for an "al fresco" dining experience or increase privacy and shade for your poolside morning coffee, this application is a perfect addition for the hot days of Florida summer.
Electronic Accessories
Our world class wireless components make operating your shading system effortless.
Wind/Motion Sensor: This accelerometer sensor attached to the awning’s framework will retract the unit if it gets too windy – adding a level of safety and security.
Sun Sensor: This sensor, typically mounted to an exterior wall, will automatically extend the awning once the preset sun level is attained, and will automatically retract your shading system when the sun passes.
TaHoma: With TaHoma®, create scenarios to link your connected devices and activate them with just a click on your smartphone!
Full Cassette Housing
Protect your entire unit from the elements all year long with the added protection of the full cassette option. The full cassette, like the standard semi-cassette housing, is all aluminum and powder coated to match the other components of the unit. This option offers a cleaner look when fully retracted and is available up to 23’.
