Outdoor Awnings Sydney
Sydney’s climate invites you outside — but long hours of sunshine, UV exposure, heat, glare, and unpredictable showers can make your deck, patio, or alfresco area less enjoyable. Outdoor awnings are the perfect solution, delivering style, shade, and comfort while protecting your property and enhancing its value.
For over 40 years, Sunteca has been designing, supplying, and installing premium outdoor awnings in Sydney. We work with top brands like Helioscreen and Lewens, and use high-performance fabrics like Soltis for durability in Australian conditions. Every awning is custom-made to your space, installed by licensed professionals, and backed by a manufacturer’s warranty.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to create an inviting outdoor retreat or a business owner needing an all-weather dining space, this page is your complete guide to understanding, selecting, and installing the perfect awning.
“Fantastic Service, Great Product. Sunteca were really easy to work with, arrived on time, perfect installation, really polite and respectful, and tidied up before they left. Highly recommended!”
