Drop Arm Awnings are the perfect answer for those areas in your home that are subjected to the harsh Australian sun making them an unpleasant place is the summertime. If this is a problem you face each summer this Drop Arm Awning outdoor screen mounts in an aluminium head box over your window allowing a fabric screen to travel vertically to the bottom, giving you complete protection on those sun beaten sections of your home. Our outdoor window screens can come with either manual or motorised operation facilities so you can choose the most convenient method for your home.

Given the outdoor conditions Drop Arm Awnings are subjected to, Yarra Shade use either Planosol or a shade fabric called Atmosphere, as they are renowed for the durability and weather resistance. Both of these fabrics keep Australia’s damaging UV rays out, giving you a cool inside space.

How to choose your fabric

The key difference between Vistaweave and acrylic canvas when choosing your Drop Arm Awning fabric is Vistaweave retains an element of transparency. If you are wanting to achieve shade protection on your windows without losing the view of your outdoor surroundings our Vistaweave fabric is the option you’re after. However, if you prefer not to have visibility on your outdoor surroundings the acrylic canvas we use provides you with that benefit.

Fabric control

Depending on where you require your outdoor window screen the fabric can be applied in side channels or via a stainless steel wire guide on each side. The aluminium used in the structure of our Drop Arm Awnings is all powder coated to ensure it withstands the weather conditions its exposed to and lasts the duration of the outdoor screens lifespan of 15 years.
