Awnings that suit Newlands
Newlands is the green, wet corner of Cape Town: the suburb that catches the rain the rest of the city only hears about, tucked under the eastern slopes where the cloud sits. Shade matters here, but shelter from rain matters more.
That tips most Newlands jobs toward adjustable louvres and fixed aluminium: roofs that close completely and drain a downpour through concealed gutters, then open to the sun on the clear days. Built in baked aluminium that does not mind the damp the way timber does.

What we build in Newlands
An outdoor room that ignores the rain
Newlands gets more rain than anywhere else in the city, which is what keeps the greenbelt green and what puts most patios here out of action from May to August.
The answer is a fixed aluminium roof rather than an adjustable one: a sealed deck above, a four-sided gutter, and an aluminium ceiling underneath with the downlights recessed into it. It reads as a room instead of a lean-to, and the braai runs in July.

Good to know
Awnings in Newlands: common questions
Will an awning keep the rain off in Newlands?
A fully-closing adjustable louvre roof or a fixed aluminium cover will. Both channel water into built-in gutters and downpipes rather than letting it through, which is what a Newlands winter demands.
Does aluminium cope with the damp better than wood?
Considerably. Aluminium does not rot, warp or grow mould in a wet, shaded suburb, and the baked finish needs no resealing, which is why we steer Newlands patios toward it.
Can you add a ceiling under the cover?
Yes. An aluminium ceiling under a patio roof gives a finished, enclosed underside and turns a covered patio into a proper outdoor room.
