The SkyShade combines state-of-the-art technology with elegant design. Motorized, controllable by remote, and equipped with integrated LED lighting, it delivers comfort and ambiance at the touch of a button. Premium materials, precise workmanship, and a fully enclosed aluminum cassette make it the perfect solution for stylish sun protection.

The SkyShade is made from powder-coated aluminum and easily withstands wind, rain, and sun. The high-quality fabrics are UV-resistant, colorfast, and water-repellent. Ideal for year-round outdoor use.

The awning is fully water-repellent and ensures a dry atmosphere even in heavy rain.

  • 100% water-repellent
  • Integrated rain drainage system through the posts
  • No water pooling
  • Maintenance-free and reliable
  • Motorized drive (Dooya motor, quiet & powerful)
  • Integrated LED lighting (warm white, dimmable)
  • Robust aluminum cassette in white, gray, or coffee
  • Premium fabrics: made from acrylic
  • Widths from 2.1 to 7.0 m, projection up to 3.5 m
  • Optional: wind sensor, app control, dimming remote

All functions – light, blind – can be conveniently controlled via remote control.

Depending on size, the SkyShade is supplied with two or three sturdy aluminium arms.

The wider the awning, the more stability is required—so the models differ as follows:

Models with 2 arms:

  • 2.1 m × 1.5 m
  • 2.5 m × 1.5 m
  • 3.0 m × 2.0 m
  • 3.5 m × 2.5 m
  • 4.0 m × 3.0 m
  • 4.5 m × 3.5 m
  • 5.0 m × 3.5 m

Models with 3 arms:

  • 5.5 m × 3.5 m
  • 6.0 m × 3.5 m
  • 6.5 m × 3.5 m
  • 7.0 m × 3.5 m

The additional arms ensure even tension of the awning fabric on the larger models and greater stability—especially important in wind or with longer projections.

Yes, the SkyShade is delivered including a wind sensor.

Once we have received the down payment, we usually deliver your awning within 2–3 business days. Delivery is handled by a freight carrier with a liftgate to the curbside. The driver will call you about 30 minutes before arrival.

Installation Service

If you don’t have the time or desire to assemble it yourself, you can book our professional installation service.

Would you like to install your awning yourself? No problem. The awning is designed so that it’s easy to assemble even without any hands-on experience.

With the smart app, you can easily control all functions of your pergola: open or close the louvers, dim the LED lighting, choose RGB colors, or retract the blinds – all directly from your sofa or while you’re on the go.

The control system works seamlessly with Tuya, Smart Life, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Home. You can use voice commands, create schedules, or set up automations—for example, automatically closing the louvers when it rains.

We stand fully behind the exceptional quality of our SkyShade – that’s why you get one of the best warranties on the market:

• 10 years on the robust aluminum structure – for maximum durability

• 5 years on the Spanish premium fabric – for reliable sun protection

• 2 years on the technology (LED, motor, electronics) – for worry-free comfort

We’re happy to offer you the option to reserve your awning risk-free. Since building permits often take several months and our large awnings have lead times of 3–4 months, projects can otherwise be delayed quickly.

• You lock in the current price and your preferred configuration

• We start production immediately (for standard sizes)

• The prepared foundations fit the ordered model perfectly

• If the building permit is unexpectedly rejected, we will refund your full deposit and you can withdraw from the contract free of charge

With a reservation, your awning is available as soon as the permit is approved. This way, we guarantee timely installation and use—completely risk-free.

The SkyShade is a premium motorized awning with integrated LED lighting and weather-resistant high-tech fabric. It provides optimal sun protection, can be conveniently controlled by remote control or app, and thanks to its modern cassette design, creates an elegant look on any façade.

Our SkyShade awning is available in several versions—with or without LED lighting, in a range of fabric colors, and with an optional wind and sun sensor. All variants are based on the same high-quality aluminum cassette and the durable, water-repellent premium fabric.

Yes, the SkyShade comes standard with warm white, dimmable LED strips. They are elegantly integrated into the cassette and create a pleasant atmosphere in the evening—perfect for long summer evenings on the patio.

If the pergola you want is in stock, delivery is usually within 2–3 business days. You can see current availability directly on the relevant product page under the price.

In general, all standard pergolas as well as the matching accessories are available from stock. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us via live chat, by phone, or by email—we’ll be happy to help right away.

For custom-made pergolas, the current delivery time is approx. 3 to 3.5 months, as they are produced individually to your specifications.

Your pergola will be delivered reliably by our logistics partner Planzer. You will be contacted by phone in advance to arrange a suitable delivery date. In addition, the driver will get in touch about 1–2 hours before arrival so you can prepare for the delivery.

The pergola is delivered on a pallet in several packages. Each package weighs approx. 45–55 kg. Please make sure you are on site at the agreed time and can help the driver with unloading. A liftgate is usually available; however, an extra helping hand is required to place the goods on your property.

With us, you can conveniently pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, TWINT, as well as all major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. In Switzerland, we also offer the option to pay for your purchase by invoice or in up to ten flexible monthly installments via PowerPay. This way, you can pay for your dream pergola easily and securely—whichever way suits you best.

Yes, payment after receipt of the goods is possible – in Switzerland we offer this via PowerPay as purchase on invoice or installment payment in up to 10 monthly installments. Please note that PowerPay assigns individual credit limits, which can typically be around CHF 4,000 to 5,000. This limit is set directly by PowerPay, and we have no influence over it.

The awning is made of a powder-coated aluminum cassette, stainless steel components, and a premium acrylic or polyester fabric. The material is UV-resistant, tear-resistant, and provides reliable protection from sun and light rain.

The SkyShade is approved up to Wind Class 2 (approx. 38 km/h). For windier locations, we recommend integrating an automatic wind sensor that retracts the awning automatically in excessively strong winds.

The fabric has a water-repellent coating and provides reliable protection in the rain. In heavy rain or wind, the awning should be retracted to protect the material.

Yes, the SkyShade features an integrated water drainage system in the front beam. Rainwater is channelled to the sides in a controlled way so that no droplets land on the patio or furniture.

The awnings are available in several modern colors (including anthracite, white, and black).

Thanks to high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship, the SkyShade is designed for many years of use. The fabric retains its color, and the frame remains corrosion-resistant—even in intense sunlight or rain.

The SkyShade can be mounted on the wall, on the ceiling, or under a balcony. All brackets are included. Installation instructions are included; alternatively, you can book our installation service.

Yes, people with practical DIY experience can install the awning themselves.

1–4 hours, depending on your DIY skills and the number of people involved. So far, all of our customers have managed the installation without any issues, and our customer service team is always available if you have any questions.

In most cases, no. However, for rental properties or listed buildings, it’s advisable to briefly check with the property management or local municipality.
