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.
Fully powder-coated aluminium pergolas with your choice of fixed polycarbonate or retractable shearweave roofing. Freestanding or wall-attached, custom-built for the Western Cape coast.
Free site visit · Lifetime corrosion guarantee · 3–5 week lead time
An extruded aluminium pergola is a permanent outdoor structure — posts, beams and rafters — fabricated entirely from powder-coated aluminium. Every beam, post and carrier is the same powder-coated aluminium in a matching colour, for a sharp, architectural, uniform finish. No timber to warp, rot or repaint.
Then you choose how it's roofed: fixed multiwall polycarbonate for a permanent, fully weatherproof covered room, or a retractable shearweave system that draws across for shade and opens to reveal the sky. Both come freestanding or wall-attached, and both can be built with lighting, fans, screens and concealed gutters designed in.
Same fully powder-coated aluminium frame. The difference is what goes overhead — permanent cover, or shade on demand.
A fixed, architectural-grade panel for a permanent covered outdoor room with filtered natural light.
An open-weave technical fabric on a track — draw it across for shade, retract it for open sky.

Aluminium naturally resists moisture, salt air and rust — no annual maintenance. The powder-coat finish adds a further layer of UV and corrosion protection engineered for the Western Cape coast, backed by a lifetime corrosion guarantee.
Aluminium delivers structural strength with slimmer profiles than timber or steel — no heavy beams. The result is an elegant, minimal frame, ideal for contemporary homes, glass façades and poolside areas.
Attach it to the house wall for a seamless patio extension, or stand it freely over a pool surround, dining area or courtyard. We assess the best configuration on site.
LED downlights, fans, drop screens, side enclosures and concealed gutters are built in during fabrication, with wiring routed invisibly through the frame — not bolted on afterwards.
Every section is powder-coated aluminium with stainless fasteners — specified for Atlantic salt air, the south-easter and intense UV. No rust, no rot, no repainting.
Custom-fabricated in-house to your exact dimensions and installed by our own crew, then backed by our full set of guarantees.

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.
Top class service from Aluminium Awnings Cape Town. They came out, measured everything properly and the install was quick. No complaints at all.
