Introducing Gennius Pleated Patio Awnings

Gennius Pleated Patio awnings are versatile with a simple, highly effective design. The retractable nature of the Gennius offers year round options to provide sun screening in summer, or weather protection during the winter months.

These awnings provide an ideal solution for maximising space, and are popular with restaurants, clubs and hotels, as well as at home. 

This product uses a carbon steel reinforced drive belt, completely enclosed inside the side guides, to drive the crossbars outwards and inwards.  For optimum performance from this all weather awning, the Gennius is motorised and is controlled with a hand-held remote.

Gennius can be manufactured in a wide range of sizes, from widths as little as 3m and up to 13.5m. The standard projection can be up to 7m, but larger projections are available provided the awning is top fixed.

Gutter

The gutter option collects rainwater and drains it away using the post profile as the downpipe. 

Hood Beam Kit

The hood beam option covers the retracted section with, preferably, a waterproof fabric that is stretched from a wall attachment to the beam. This provides protection for the crossbars and fabric, from rain and debris, when not in use.

Side Infill Kit

A side Infill option is available for one or both sides. This enables the attachment of a vertical awning such as the Screeny or Vertiscreen screen, to provide extra shade and comfort. 

Extra Pleats

A variety of fabrics can be used for the pleats including acrylic, PVC coated fabric or screen mesh.

Square Bar Fixing Kit

Used when multiple fixings to a wall are required using a 40mm powder-coated square bar and special brackets
