From-prices as at August 2026. Your exact figure comes from a free on-site measure.
Fixed wedge awnings are the entry point for a wide window or doorway: a permanent frame, no moving parts, weather cover that stays put. A 2.4 m × 0.9 m wedge starts at R6,900. Fixed wedge awnings →
Drop-arm awnings reach further out — two arms drop the fabric over a window or small stoep and retract when you don’t need it. A 1.2 m × 1.4 m drop-arm starts at R7,900. Drop-arm awnings →
Door and window awnings are the curved canvas hoods over a single door or window, fixed to the wall. A 1.2 m × 1 m door awning starts at R5,000, and a 2.4 m × 1 m window awning at R8,000. Door & window awnings →
Patio blinds close the side of a patio rather than roof it: Docril fabric with clear PVC windows, or SheerWeave® fabric, on a gear-and-crank mechanism. A 3 m × 2.7 m blind starts at R6,900. Patio blinds →
Retractable fold-arm awnings put the mechanism in the price: folding arms under tension covering real floor area, out for the scorching afternoon and away for the winter sun. A 3 m wide × 2 m extension fold-arm on gear-and-crank starts at R16,900. Retractable awnings →
Louvre awnings are the top of the range — adjustable aluminium blades on an engineered frame, sun by degrees, rainproof when closed. A 5.5 m × 2 m retractable louvre system starts at R45,000. Louvre awnings →
Custom-made or off-the-shelf? You can buy a boxed DIY awning from a big retailer for less than any figure on this page, and for a standard-size window in a sheltered spot it may be all you need. What the box can’t do: fit a non-standard space, survive a decade of Highveld sun, or send anyone to fix it. Custom-made costs more on day one and usually less by year five — and it’s measured to your wall, not to an average one.

Every awning is custom made in our own workshop — nothing comes off a shelf. The tiles below are the range behind the prices.
Shade exactly when you want it: roll it out to cool a scorching afternoon, roll it back for the winter sun. Manual or motorised, ideal for patios, decks and entertaining.
View →
Permanent, all-weather cover that stays put through wind, rain and sun. Strong and low-maintenance, perfect for patios, entrances and windows.
View →
Total control over sun and shade: adjustable aluminium louvres tilt open for light and breeze, or close to a solid, rainproof roof. A modern, low-maintenance finish for any patio.

The option price lists don’t mention
If the frame is sound and the fabric is tired, you don’t need a new awning — recovering a 3 m × 2 m fold-arm starts at R7,900, against R16,900 for a new one.
New Docril acrylic or SheerWeave® fabric, chosen against real swatches.
Seams sewn with UV-stable Tenara thread that outlasts the fabric around it.
A recover starts at less than half the price of a comparable new awning.
Ours or anyone else’s: re-cover and refurbishment.
Size — and projection costs more than width. A 2.4 m-wide fixed awning at 0.9 m projection starts lower than a drop-arm half its width reaching 1.4 m out. The arms and frame do the structural work, so every centimetre the awning reaches away from the wall costs more than a centimetre along it.
Fabric. Acrylic like Docril costs more than commodity polyester and lasts years longer in Highveld UV. SheerWeave® fabric sits in between. Cheap fabric is the most expensive choice on a ten-year view.
The fixing. Face brick, plastered wall, double-storey, spanning a beam — what the awning bolts to changes the bracketry and the labour.
Who makes it. We manufacture in our own workshop, so the quote has no middle layer in it.
Motorisation with programming adds from R5,400 to a fold-arm, drop-arm or patio blind, and from R11,000 on a louvre system, which carries a heavier mechanism. On a daily-use fold-arm that’s about a third of the awning’s price — and it’s the difference between an awning you operate and an awning you actually use.
Every mechanism also comes manual (gear-and-crank), and the quote shows both ways.
I’m Mitch. I run Patio SA. Our installation team has thirty years of experience behind it, and my job is to make sure you get the benefit of it. When you book a measure, I’m the one who comes out. I’ll tell you what will work on your patio and what won’t.
There’s no useful average — a window drop-arm and a motorised louvre system are different purchases. The table above gives honest from-prices at real sizes, starting at R5,000 for a door awning up to R45,000 for a 5.5-metre louvre system; the free measure gives your exact figure.
Anyone who does is guessing, and the guess gets corrected on the day the work happens. Awnings are priced off real measurements. Ours are free to take.

Absolutely incredible service from PatioSA! From start to finish, the entire experience was friendly, professional and seamless. I recently had the blinds on my patio replaced and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. My patio has never looked better! A special shoutout to Mitch and his incredible team for their attention to detail, professionalism and fantastic service. It’s so refreshing dealing with a team that genuinely takes pride in their work. Highly recommend PatioSA. Thank you for completely transforming my patio!
We had an outdoor blind installed and Mitch from Patio SA was fantastic. He came out for a quote and gave advice, he sent through a quote that was a lot less than the other quote received for the same fabric and set up, and the installation team was fantastic. We are very happy with out outdoor blind and will not hesitate to use Patio SA again.
Incredibly professional service. Our Awning was installed on time, really great quality materials. I would definitely recommend Patio SA as a reliable, great product supplier.
Great Service!
