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.
The warmth of timber overhead, with none of the upkeep. Composite-coated aluminium beams, low maintenance, with your choice of polycarbonate or retractable roofing.
Free site visit · Lifetime corrosion guarantee · 3–5 week lead time
A composite pergola gives you the warm, natural appearance of timber overhead — without any of the maintenance. The beams are composite-coated aluminium: an authentic wood-grain surface over a structural aluminium core. No painting, no sanding, no sealing — ever. Posts and carriers are powder-coated aluminium, so the whole structure shrugs off rust, rot and warping.
Roof it your way: fixed multiwall polycarbonate for a permanent, fully weatherproof covered room, or a retractable shearweave system for shade on demand and open sky when you want it. Freestanding or wall-attached, with lighting, fans and screens designed in.
Same wood-look composite beams. The difference is what goes overhead — permanent cover, or shade on demand.
A fixed, architectural-grade panel for a permanent covered outdoor room with filtered natural light.
An open-weave technical fabric on a track — draw it across for shade, retract it for open sky.

Composite-coated aluminium beams carry an authentic timber grain overhead — the warmth of wood for a contemporary or classic home, without the colour fade and cracking real timber suffers in the Cape sun.
The composite coating never needs painting, sanding or sealing. There's no annual upkeep — just an occasional rinse. It looks new for years while real timber would already need re-oiling.
Under the composite finish, the structure is aluminium — with powder-coated posts and carriers. That means coastal corrosion resistance and the strength to span without bulky timber sections.
Pair the warm beams with fixed polycarbonate for a permanent weatherproof room, or retractable shearweave for shade on demand. Freestanding or wall-attached, with extras designed in.

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.
Aluminium Awnings Cape Town het ons heeltemal beïndruk. Die kwaliteit is uitstekend en die prys was billik. Ons sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.
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.
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.
From the first phone call to the final clean up Aluminium Awnings Cape Town were brilliant. So happy we found someone reliable in Bloubergstrand.
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.
