Southern Suburbs

Outdoor living, built for Southern Suburbs.

The Southern Suburbs run from the City Bowl's edge out to Constantia's wine farms, taking in established gardens, heritage homes and big family entertainment areas under the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Here it's less about salt and more about rain, shade and matching structures to mature, well-treed properties.

We design louvre roofs that open to the canopy and close against winter rain, fixed pergolas for permanent cover, and patio ceilings that finish a space cleanly. Every structure is fabricated in our workshop and installed by our own crew, so the detailing suits the home, from a Newlands cottage to a Constantia estate.

What we do

Six ways to cover the outdoors

One contractor for the whole outdoor space: structure, ceiling, walls and floor.

Coastal-grade aluminium outdoor structure engineered for the Western Cape
Engineered for the coast

Built for the wettest side of the mountain.

Newlands and the suburbs under the mountain catch more rain than almost anywhere else in Cape Town, and winter fronts arrive with weeks of it. Every cover we fit here has integrated gutters sized for real Southern Suburbs rainfall, piped to ground properly, with louvres that close to roughly 95% weatherproof so the patio still works in July.

The other local reality is trees. Under the oaks of Constantia, Tokai and Bishopscourt, leaf litter lands on every roof, so we design for access: gutter runs you can clear from a ladder, smooth blade surfaces that shed debris, and finishes that cope with tannin stains and permanent shade.

Local answers

Questions we get in the Southern Suburbs

How does a louvre roof cope with leaves from big oaks?
Better than most roofing. Closed louvre blades present a smooth surface that leaves blow off rather than settle into, and the gutter is a straight open channel you can clear from a ladder in minutes. We position downpipes away from the leafiest corners during design. An occasional clear before winter is all it needs.
Is a louvre roof actually waterproof enough for Newlands rainfall?
Closed properly, a louvre roof is roughly 95% weatherproof, with each blade channelling water into an integrated gutter. In hard sideways winter rain a few drops can find a join, which is why we also offer fully sealed aluminium ceilings where a completely dry outdoor room matters more than open sky.
Do Constantia estates and body corporates need drawings first?
Usually yes. Estates and sectional schemes around Constantia, Tokai and Bergvliet generally want a simple drawing, dimensions and a colour before granting approval. We supply that pack with every quote at no charge, and we match finishes to the existing joinery, so approval is rarely a fight.
Can you install during winter?
Winter is often the best time. The install itself takes a day or two and slots between fronts, fabrication happens indoors regardless of the weather, and the cover is up and working before the worst of the rain arrives.

Kim Hello Peter

So happy with our new awning. Mike from Aluminium Awnings sorted everything out for us, even the little extras we asked for at the last minute.

Christopher

Really happy with the whole experience. The team at Aluminium Awnings were on time, tidy and did exactly what they said they would. Our patio is finally usable in summer.

Hendrik Hello Peter

Aluminium Awnings Cape Town het ons heeltemal beïndruk. Die kwaliteit is uitstekend en die prys was billik. Ons sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.

Lamine Hello Peter

Beautiful job. Aluminium Awnings were neat and polite, and the install crew Vincent and Pfunzo finished exactly when they said they would. We love sitting outside now even when it drizzles.

RIAAN Hello Peter

Honestly the best money we've spent on the house. Aluminium Awnings were spot on, and where we are in Durbanville gets a lot of wind but it holds up perfectly.

Nomsa Hello Peter

From the first phone call to the final clean up Aluminium Awnings Cape Town were brilliant. So happy we found someone reliable in Bloubergstrand.

Loiz Hello Peter

The louvre roof they installed has completely changed our outdoor area. We can open it when it's sunny and close it when the rain comes in. Thanks Aluminium Awnings.
