Our Simple Awning Quotation Process

To make things easy, we follow a simple process to help you understand the likely cost before arranging a home visit.

1️⃣ Send us your sizes and photos

Send us the width, the projection (how far you want the awning to extend) and a few photos of the area where the awning would be installed.

2️⃣ Receive a guide price

Based on the information you provide, our team will review your space and provide a guide price along with details of what the installation includes.

3️⃣ Arrange your home survey

If the guide price is within the range you expected, we’ll arrange a professional site survey to confirm measurements and installation requirements.

All guide prices are subject to site survey to confirm exact measurements and fixing requirements.

Choosing the Right Awning Size for Your Patio

Installing a patio awning involves choosing the right width and projection to suit your outdoor space. The width of the awning usually depends on the available wall space, while the projection determines how far the awning extends to provide shade.

Most residential awnings are available with projections ranging from around 2 metres up to approximately 3.75 metres, depending on the model.

When selecting an awning size, a few factors are considered:

  • the width of the patio or seating area

  • the projection required to provide sufficient shade

  • the mounting height available on the wall

  • obstacles such as lights, gutters or doors

Because awnings are installed at a slight angle to allow rainwater to run off, the shaded area will usually be slightly less than the full projection.

During the survey, we measure the installation area and recommend the most suitable awning size to ensure it provides effective shade while maintaining safe head height underneath.

You can learn more about installation considerations in our Awning Buying Guide.

Awnings are subject to specific installation terms and usage guidelines. You can view full details in our Awnings Terms & Disclaimers.

Not Sure Which Awning Is Right for Your Home? Send Us Your Sizes and Photos

Simply send us a few photos of the area where the awning would be installed.

Also include, the width of the awning you are looking for and the projection (how far you would like the awning to extend)

Our team will review your photos and sizes and advise on the most suitable awning for your space, along with a guide price based on your requirements before arranging your home survey.

Don’t worry if your measurements aren’t exact – photos and approximate sizes are perfect for providing a guide price.

I’ve used John’s Blinds and Curtains on three separate occasions now, and they truly never disappoint. Every member of the team is consistently polite, friendly, and professional. The communication from the office team is fantastic, and the sales and fitting staff are punctual, tidy, and clearly take great pride in their work. It’s rare to find such a high level of consistency, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free experience. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.

I've lost count of how many shutters we've had fitted by John's Blinds, but the quality and service remain top-notch every time! Recently, Matt measured up and Steve fitted shutters in our dressing room and bathroom, and as usual, they are both a credit to the company - friendly, professional, and clearly knows their stuff.

The shutters look amazing, and I love how they transform the spaces. The best part is, I don't even bother shopping around anymore because I know I'm in good hands with John's Blinds. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality shutters and exceptional customer service, look no further!
