Shop Front Awning
- Free delivery over $1,500 (Sydney Metro)
The Shop Front Awning is a commercial-grade external shade system designed specifically for shopfronts, retail premises and commercial applications. The heavy-duty construction handles constant daily operation, while the straight drop down the shop face — held at the bottom by J hooks fixed to the building — gives maximum weather protection and brand visibility without drilling the footpath.
Available with fabric lettering options for business identification, the Shop Front Awning is both a functional weather barrier and a marketing tool. Awnings over a public footpath usually need council approval and are not a DIY job — see our shopfront awning guide.
