  • Do you own or rent the property?

    If you own, why not a self-supporting awning attached to the structure? Depending on the construction, etc, you might have to consider supporting on uprights attached to the ceiling joists, and cut some roof tiles for them to come through (easily weather-proofed with flashing, etc).

    Something like these retractable awnings might do the trick. Not cheap, but easily done, and shouldn't even require a permit, depending on the planning rules in your city council. I know of models that have sun and wind detection - they come out automatically when sunny, and retract automatically when too windy.

    If you rent, or cost/installation is an issue, then maybe find the largest cantilever umbrella you can?

    • Wow! I think retractable awnings will be great for such a setting. Cheers bro
