Pricing

What it costs — and why we quote.

There’s no fixed price list for custom outdoor structures: the cost depends on the type of cover, the size and span, the finish, and whether it’s motorised. What we can give you is honest guidance — indicative per-square-metre rates, the factors that move the number, and an instant estimate to get you in the right range.

Then we make it exact. A free on-site visit gives us the measurements and access details to issue a fixed, written quote within 48 hours — no obligation, and no surprises on the day.

Indicative rates

Starting prices by cover

Per square metre, supplied and installed, for typical Cape Town projects. Larger spans, motorisation and premium finishes add to the figure.

What moves the price
Size & span

Bigger areas and wider unsupported spans need more material and engineering.

Type of cover

An adjustable louvre roof costs more than a fixed awning of the same size.

Finish & colour

Standard powder-coat colours are included; special or dual colours add a little.

Motorisation

Automated louvres, rain sensors and remotes add to a manual system.

Site & access

Fixing surface, height and how easily we can get to the area all play a part.

Add-ons

Lighting, side screens, blinds or gutters are quoted as optional extras.

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

Built for salt, sun and the south-easter.

The Cape coast is hard on outdoor structures. We build for it from the start: marine-grade aluminium with no ferrous metal, baked-enamel and powder-coat finishes rated for Atlantic salt air, and stainless fasteners throughout.

Structures are sized for Cape Doctor wind loads, and every motorised installation uses IP65-rated motor housings. It's coastal-grade construction across the whole range — built once, built right.

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.
