Awning Installation - Try a planet saving solution today

Camini's Karat Roof
I worked on my backyard garden this week. It certainly was very hot!. But it got me thinking about the benefits of an awning. Long ago I thought of these as granny solutions. You know the carrot roof at the front or side of the house. But in trying to do my part for climate change, I might go back to some of the old time ways of doing things. My neighbour Camini certainly did. She has a karat roof on her deck.

I still don't know about the karat roof, maintenance is not one of my strong points, but I think a nice cute retractable awning might do wonders in my backyard. I tried doing it, and use a bit of trapulin on some stilts. But the wind blew everything down before I could get a good picture. This was a job for a professional.

I got on the phone called by TriniHandyman, Russel, who came over the next day with the materials to build me a nice retractable awning. I tool the cheap solution, because we were also on a budget, but the work looked good and in the end I now have a little place I can sit on mornings and watch my garden while sipping a hot cup of coffee. 

Call a handyman today and get a solution that can improve the quality of your days! Or send me some pics of your awnings to feature here.

    1. Hi Annalee, An awning is a small roof over a door, window or patio. With the main purpose of providing shade, cover from the elements.

  2. Interesting! Didn't know that type of roof is called a carrot roof. Your blog is very informative.
