Your Local Alresford Awning Company
Winchester Awnings is based in Alresford, Hampshire, so this isn’t simply another area that we cover.
We have supplied, installed, repaired and recovered awnings for homeowners and businesses in Alresford and the surrounding area for many years.
Our local projects have included everything from multiple large garden awnings on Alresford homes to traditional commercial awnings in the town, giving us considerable experience of finding shading solutions to suit both modern and period properties.
Being local also means we understand the wide variety of homes around Alresford, from character properties close to the town centre to contemporary extensions, large glazed areas and countryside homes around the neighbouring villages.
Every project starts with a site visit so that we can assess the property, discuss how you want to use the space and recommend an awning that is properly suited to it.
Made-to-Measure Patio Awnings in Alresford
A professionally fitted awning can transform the way you use your garden.
Our residential awnings are individually made to measure for your home and can create instant shade over patios, terraces and outdoor seating areas.
They can be particularly useful on south- and west-facing homes or properties with large areas of glazing, where strong sunlight can make both the garden and adjoining rooms uncomfortable.
A retractable patio awning allows you to create shade when you need it and retract the awning when you want to enjoy an open view or more natural light.
An awning can help to:
- Create a comfortable shaded patio or seating area
- Reduce strong sunlight and glare through windows and doors
- Provide shade above bi-fold and sliding doors
- Make outdoor dining more comfortable
- Protect garden furniture from direct sunlight
- Increase how often you can enjoy your outside space
With a wide range of fabrics, frame finishes and optional accessories available, your awning can be designed to complement the style and colours of your Alresford home.
Weinor Awnings in Alresford
We supply premium Weinor awnings, renowned for their build quality, engineering and extensive choice of designs.
Every awning is made to measure rather than supplied as a standard off-the-shelf product.
You can choose from a broad selection of awning fabrics and frame colours, allowing the finished installation to complement everything from a traditional Hampshire home to a modern extension.
Depending on the awning selected, additional options can include integrated LED lighting, heating and automated controls.
Weinor residential and commercial awnings supplied by Winchester Awnings also benefit from a 10-year guarantee, providing additional reassurance when investing in a premium shading system for your property.
Motorised Awnings in Alresford
For effortless everyday operation, many of our Alresford customers choose a motorised awning.
Instead of manually winding the awning in and out, motorisation allows it to extend or retract smoothly at the touch of a button.
We use trusted Somfy motorisation and control systems, with options including remote controls, smart controls and compatible weather sensors.
A motorised awning is particularly useful for larger installations and for homeowners who expect to use their awning regularly throughout the warmer months.
Wind sensors can also be incorporated into suitable systems to help protect the awning by automatically retracting it when wind conditions become unsuitable.
Awnings for Bi-Fold Doors and Glazed Extensions
Large windows and bi-fold doors bring wonderful natural light into a home, but during spring and summer they can also create considerable heat and glare.
Installing an awning externally can stop much of that direct solar energy before it reaches the glazing, while also providing shade across the patio outside.
This makes retractable awnings an excellent option for Alresford homes with:
- Bi-fold doors
- Sliding patio doors
- Large south-facing windows
- Contemporary kitchen extensions
- Garden rooms
- Open-plan kitchen and dining areas
When retracted, the awning leaves the glazing and view largely unobstructed. When extended, it can provide shade both inside and outside the home.
Commercial Awnings in Alresford
Our work in Alresford isn’t limited to residential properties.
We also provide commercial awnings for shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and other businesses.
Alresford’s attractive town centre contains many independent businesses and character shopfronts, making it particularly important for a commercial awning to complement the building as well as perform a practical function.
Options include retractable awnings, traditional drop-arm awnings, fixed canopies and bespoke commercial shading.
Commercial awnings can also incorporate signwriting, company colours and branding, helping a business create a distinctive and professional frontage while providing useful shade.
We can also recover suitable existing commercial awnings, replacing tired fabric while retaining the existing system where appropriate.
Our work within Alresford has included commercial awning projects and recovers, giving us first-hand experience of working with local business premises.

Drop-Arm Awnings for Alresford Properties
For windows and shopfronts where overhead shading is required without projecting a full patio awning, a drop-arm awning can provide an attractive alternative.
Drop-arm awnings are particularly suited to traditional façades, windows and commercial premises and can be manufactured in a wide choice of colours and fabrics.
They can help reduce glare and solar gain through windows while adding character to the outside of the building.
