Envious neighbors weren't necessarily one of the products we set out to create, it just kinda happened...
This isn't your father's old fashioned awning!

The awnings of yesteryear have never been considered fashionable accessories for your home, and our design and manu-craftering saw this as a challenge.

“How do we make something that looks cool – and keeps you cool at the same time?”

That became the question that haunted the team – they couldn’t make it go away.

Then it hit them…  Make it DISAPPEAR and blend into the house – like a fine architectural detail or accent. Magic!

So they became the Magicians of Minimalism and focused on making a sleek, retractable awning system for the 21st century.

To do this, it became obvious that we needed to design and manufacture the complete awning system – rather than buy and assemble components (like the vast majority of our competitors do).

Although this decision unleashed the more challenging aspects of their personalities – control freakishness and perfectionism – it gave them the freedom needed to create a great system.

Our Retractable Awning System gives you maximum shade with a minimum footprint.

When it’s not out doing its job to make you cool, you don’t even know it’s there. Now you see it – now you don’t…  Beeaauutiful!

Retractable Deck & Patio Awnings Testimonials

Click here to hear Tami talking to Rainier owner Scott Campbell
—Tami Michaels,
"Our awning was installed today and wow! You did such a great job with the design. The application you recommended was perfect. We're so thankful we went with Rainier. A home down the street went with someone else and if they could see our awning they would know they made a mistake. To have the awning installed today was a miracle, as we are having guests this weekend and the awning will add so much to entertaining. Dave, it is great working with you. Now we want to arrange for a wind sensor and I will still like you to give us an estimate and design for our other and other awning. Again, Thank You!"
—Joe and Jo Ann P.,
"Thanks so much for the installation of our solar screen, it's great! Really helps to cut down the solar heat and eliminate the direct sun UV damage that plagued that room in our house. I wish we'd installed it earlier before our chairs got all sun bleached! The remote makes it so convenient to use. No need to go out in the cold and rain to adjust with a hand crank, or pull that old shade up and down (which never worked...) I'm glad we got that option. Thanks to your team for making this a worthwhile investment. Also thanks for your immediate attention in dealing with the details and keeping things happening."
—Brian H.,
"I need to let you know how happy I am with the awnings. They way exceeded my expectations. I can't believe how perfect the color selection is. They just make the house look so "smart". Everyone who has seen them thinks they look nice."
—Sherill M.,
"Brad was awesome and the installers were courteous. I've told my neighbors about you guys, and I want to have screens put in later this summer."
—Joe K.,
"Now that the western summer sun is beginning to impact our living room, we can see the benefits from the sun shades. Our living room is a pleasure any time of the day. Thank you Rainier Industries”
—Kari S.,
"I love my new motorized awning as it provides a patio shelter for my family to enjoy even on those not-so-great Puget Sound days. Rainier was exceptional from the first email to the last call.”
—Sean C.,

A Welcome Addition

More usable outdoor living space… Whenever you need it.

Add an awning to your patio or deck to extend the use of your outdoor living space, without extensive remodeling – or the headache that come with it.

Our retractable deck and patio awnings can be installed almost anywhere. We offer three options – wall mount, under soffit or above the gutter installation.

While the other guys may only provide a limited range of sizes – our awnings are custom sized to meet your exact specifications.  Available up to 40′ widths (in 1/4″ increments) with #’ to #’ projection range.

Protection From the Sun’s Harmful UV Rays

Sun block doesn’t have to come from a bottle…  SPF 1000 without the grease!


Designed to protect you and your family safe from the sun’s harmful UV rays, awnings enable you to enjoy the outdoors – and keep the UV rays from fading your valuable interior home furnishings.

Retractable awnings are an efficient way to cool a home, reducing the reliance on traditional air conditioning.  Research has shown that shading from an awning can reduce cooling costs up to 60%.

Stay Cool & In Control                                                                                                               

Shade at the push of  button… Your remote control for the sun.

An intelligent motor and a remote control – what more could a guy want??

While a motor is technically an “option”, we will not sell you an awning without one.*

Why? Because survey after survey shows that people who buy hand crank awnings just don’t use them nearly as much as the people with motorized units.

*In the spirit of freedom of choice, we really will sell you a hand crank model if you make us – and promise not to be mad at us when you don’t use it – or leave it out and an unexpected wind storm damages it…

All-Aluminum  & Stainless Steel Construction

The Superman of awnings… Not even Kryptonite will rust this baby.

Crafted with stainless steel components and a double-galvanized roller tube, you won’t have to worry about rusting or corrosion from the elements assuring years of trouble-free use.

The Ideal Profile – Sleek & Slim

Shade has never looked so good… And been so unnoticed.

Unlike some of its less sophisticated cousins, our awning system was designed to be unnoticeable.

This is definitely a case of when less is more.

Although it is far from invisible, our awning does not attract attention – on purpose.

Like a great waiter, it is there when you want it – and out of sight when you don’t.

Automatic Control                                                                                                                                                                             

Weather or not… Your autopilot for climate control.

The retractable awning comes standard with Somfy’s Eolis 3D wind sensor allowing you to control Mother Nature.

The Eolis 3D wind sensor that will automatically retract your awning when the wind exceeds the pre-set threshold.

The sensor is battery-operated and is installed right on the front bar of the awning.

A Delicate Balance of Arms and Shoulders

Designed for a lifetime of trouble- free performance… Strength and endurance, as if it were trained by Pilates.

Our awning is designed to break – under the right conditions (high winds and with the awning extended.)

Because its better to replace a few awning parts, then repair structural damage to your home. Planned failure is the engineering term…

The ideal awning frame exhibits total balance and harmony – with just enough, of enough…

  • Strong enough to function efficiently, while properly tensioning the awning fabric.
  • Durable enough to provide a lifetime of worry free performance.
  • Intelligent enough to know when to stay open, and when to retract.
  • Graceful enough to smoothly open and close upon command.
  • Petite enough to be unnoticed when closed.

That’s why our frame parts (the shoulders, arms and bars) were designed and engineered to achieve this delicate balance – and protect your home as a result.

 

Below are options for retractable awnings, each awning is made to order, so you get exactly the options that suit your home and lifestyle.

Motors & Controls

We offer a variety of motor and control options allowing you automatic operation of your awning and feature motors & controls manufactured by Somfy, the world leader in tubular motors.
