So happy with our new awning. Mike from Aluminium Awnings sorted everything out for us, even the little extras we asked for at the last minute.
Tokai is a leafy Southern Suburbs neighbourhood bordered by the Tokai Forest — a setting that creates beautiful dappled light but also means patios are often partially shaded by mature trees. This installation combined a freestanding extruded aluminium pergola frame with a full louvre awning roof to create a fully covered outdoor structure that could be opened to the tree canopy or closed completely for weather protection.
The extruded pergola frame is freestanding — it does not attach to the house wall, which was important given the patio's relationship to the existing garden layout. The louvre awning roof sits within the pergola frame, with white adjustable blades spanning the full internal width.
A freestanding pergola is chosen when wall attachment is not practical or desirable. The extruded aluminium frame is self-supporting and anchored into paving or footings without any wall fixings. When open, the blades create a filtered light effect through the tree canopy; when closed, the patio is completely sheltered from rain.
The pergola now reads as a destination in the garden — a covered outdoor room that is shaded in summer, protected in winter and visually integrated with the surrounding Tokai landscape. The freestanding configuration means it can be repositioned in the future if the garden layout changes.

Really happy with the whole experience. The team at Aluminium Awnings were on time, tidy and did exactly what they said they would. Our patio is finally usable in summer.
Aluminium Awnings Cape Town het ons heeltemal beïndruk. Die kwaliteit is uitstekend en die prys was billik. Ons sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.
Beautiful job. Aluminium Awnings were neat and polite, and the install crew Vincent and Pfunzo finished exactly when they said they would. We love sitting outside now even when it drizzles.
Honestly the best money we've spent on the house. Aluminium Awnings were spot on, and where we are in Durbanville gets a lot of wind but it holds up perfectly.
From the first phone call to the final clean up Aluminium Awnings Cape Town were brilliant. So happy we found someone reliable in Bloubergstrand.
The louvre roof they installed has completely changed our outdoor area. We can open it when it's sunny and close it when the rain comes in. Thanks Aluminium Awnings.
Ek is baie tevrede met Aluminium Awnings. Die span was vriendelik en het alles netjies gelos. Ons stoep is nou ons gunsteling plek in die huis.
Quick, clean and fair priced. Aluminium Awnings did a great job on our louvre awning and I'd use them again without thinking twice.
Very impressed with Aluminium Awnings. Good communication throughout and the quality is exactly what we hoped for.
Got a few quotes and Aluminium Awnings were the most professional by far. Lance talked us through all the options without any pressure and the stoep looks amazing now.
We use our braai area so much more now thanks to Aluminium Awnings. Lekker quality and the guys were friendly.
