The SunSetter Platinum Series is our premium line of retractable awnings featuring SunSetter's Performance Acrylic and world-renowned Sunbrella® performance fabrics that offer unparalleled beauty and protection. The Platinum Series has the same engineering excellence as the SunSetter Series and offers the option of state-of-the-art Platinum Plus Semi-Cassette that allows the awning to retract into a housing that protects your awning all year round from dirt, rain, wind, and snow. The premium SunSetter Platinum Series includes a 10-year limited warranty guaranteeing years of satisfaction.

Model Comparison

All Motorized awnings in the SunSetter and Platinum Series are powered by a Somfy^® electric motor that opens and closes the awning with a simple remote control. They come in widths from 8 ft. to 20 ft. and project out from the house up to 10 ft 2 in. The Motorized XL models offer extended projections that extend out from your house either 11 ft. 8 in. (widths 14 ft. to 20 ft.) or 13 ft. 1 in. (widths 15 ft. to 20 ft.)

The PRO and PRO XL models are like the Motorized and Motorized XL models and include a built-in front drop screen that unrolls in seconds using a simple hand crank and extends down to 5 ft. for added protection and privacy. The drop screen blocks 85% of sun and glare and reduces wind.

The Platinum Plus and Plus XL models include the same engineering excellence as our other awning models with the added feature of a permanently-installed aluminum semi-cassette housing. The elegant design provides a more contemporary finished look and protects the awning from the elements to reduce wear and tear on your fabric - which means even more years of enjoyment to come.

The Manual lateral arm awnings are identical to the Motorized models, but it is manually operated with a provided hand crank and requires no electricity. The Manual models are available in widths from 8 ft. to 18 ft.

The 1000XT Model awning is also manually operated and has adjustable vertical support arms, that need to be manually positioned, giving it added strength and rigidity. It projects out from your house 10 ft. 2 in. and comes in even sizes from 8 ft. to 20 ft. Wide.

Oasis models are free-standing lateral arm awnings that can be placed anywhere for immediate shade. Available in Motorized and Manual, the Oasis is offers easy open and close capabilities so you can move, adjust, and place these awnings for more cooling shade than any patio umbrella ever could.

For extra-large areas, our XL and PRO XL models are recommended. The state-of-the-art Platinum Plus models with semi-cassette housings are our top-of-the-line models that provide the latest contemporary design and ultimate satisfaction.

All motorized models come with a superb quality Somfy^® motor and lateral arm technology. And they're still hundreds of dollars less than the competition - without sacrificing any features or quality. Our Manual Lateral models are perfect if you want the look and feel of a motorized model but prefer manual hand-crank operation.

Our most economically priced awning is our 1000XT manual model. It has adjustable support arms that can be manually set vertically on the deck or patio surface or angled back against the house. These arms give the 1000XT exceptional strength and stability - so it's great for areas where wind or passing showers are typical. It opens and closes in 60 seconds with a simple hand crank.

If you are looking for the ultimate in versatility, consider the freestanding Oasis models that can be moved easily to anywhere you need shade. No matter which model you select, you can't make a bad choice. You'll always be getting a superbly built, easy-to-operate, great-looking awning at an exceptional price.

A durable SunSetter retractable awning will withstand heavy winds while extended as proved in tests by an independent laboratory. However, we do recommend retracting your awning when heavy winds start to pick up.

Because SunSetter awnings retract, they're great for breezy locales where a permanent awning would be somewhat impractical and prone to damage. Our optional Wireless Wind Sensor and Wireless Rain Sensor for the Motorized models give you additional peace of mind by closing your awning automatically on very windy or rainy days.

We offer an elegant Aluminum Hood for all models except the Platinum Plus Semi-Cassette (this model comes with a built-in hood), 1000XT, and Oasis Freestanding awnings. The Aluminum Hood provides the perfect finished look and protects your awning from the elements year round. We also offer an Awning Cover for all models for winter storage and protection. Our awnings and fabrics have been designed to withstand year-round weather and never have to be removed from the house. We also now offer new, alternative cord lengths for motorized models.

Our Dimming LED Lights are customer favorites because they let you extend your entertaining right into the evening by providing the perfect soft or bright illumination using the same remote control the operates your awning.

The Wireless Wind Sensor and Wireless Rain Sensor are the most popular accessories for motorized models. They close your awning automatically on windy or rainy days.
