The Garden Route is green and high-rainfall, with mild summers and weather coming in off the Indian Ocean, so a cover here has to handle rain and damp as well as sun.
All four jobs we have documented here are composite pergolas: one over an outdoor living area in Mossel Bay, one along a white facade in Knysna and two in Sedgefield. In Knysna and Mossel Bay the owners wanted the look of timber without the sanding and sealing that real timber needs on this coast. We fabricate in Cape Town, and our own team installs on scheduled trips along the N2.
We cover these towns and the coast between them:

The Garden Route is green for a reason: unlike Cape Town’s winter-rain pattern, rain falls here in every season, often hard and off the sea. Where an outdoor room must stay fully dry, a patio ceiling does it with enclosed aluminium panels and an integrated box gutter. A louvre roof is about 95% weatherproof when closed, and a composite pergola can be roofed in multiwall polycarbonate.
Timber struggles in this climate. Knysna’s forest coast stays damp for months and the estuary air carries salt, so wooden pergolas go grey unless someone keeps re-oiling them. The Knysna job uses honey-toned composite beams on powder-coated aluminium instead. One of the Sedgefield pergolas sits on an open rise above the town, with views over the valley. Its timber-look slats on a charcoal frame filter the sun across the day.

What a fantastic experience. The new louvre awning has made such a difference to our outdoor space and has honestly exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail during the installation was excellent, and the whole team was friendly, respectful, and easy to deal with. It looks like it was always meant to be part of the house. Thank you for a job well done!
We were looking for a modern, low-maintenance patio cover that suited our home in Stellenbosch, and this was exactly what we wanted. The finish is beautiful, the installation was neat, and communication throughout the project was excellent. It’s given us a space we can enjoy all year round. We would definitely use Aluminium Awnings again.
Aluminium Awnings Cape Town enclosed our Constantia patio with a manual louvre roof, full white, with aluminium doors and windows all round, and it's honestly become our favourite part of the house. We use it right through winter now. The rain and the wind don't get in, and it's so easy to wind the louvres open when the sun comes out. Neat, tidy install with a friendly team, and the white finish looks really clean against the house. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend.
Ryan and his team were awesome and really went the extra mile to make our awning perfect! Can definitely recommend them!
Very happy with the replacement of our awning after it got damaged in the May storm. More sturdy and stronger
We recently had a louvre awning installed by Aluminium Awnings at our home in Durbanville, and we’re so pleased with the result. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the finished product has completely transformed our outdoor space. The team was professional, arrived on time, and kept us informed throughout the installation. We looked at a few different companies before deciding, and we’re really glad we chose Aluminium Awnings. If you’re considering louvre awnings in Cape Town, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Aluminium Awnings is so professional from start to finish. They make the process easy and understandable from day 1. The quality of their work is outstanding, we are so happy! I highly recommend them!
Absolutely thrilled with our new louvre awning from Aluminium Awnings. From start to finish, the service was professional, the installation was neat, and the finished product looks incredible. We’re based in Blouberg, so we wanted something that would work well with the coastal conditions and strong winds, while still giving us control over the sunlight and shade. The louvre awning has completely transformed the outside area and the quality of the aluminium structure and finish is excellent. Would definitely recommend Aluminium Awnings to anyone in Blouberg or Cape Town looking for a quality louvre awning. Very happy with the end result!
