Picking the right awning starts with the opening you want to cover. A door awning keeps rain off your entryway and stops sun from heating the front of the house. A window awning shades the glass before the heat gets inside, which helps the rooms behind it stay cooler. A patio cover spans a wider area to shade an outdoor seating or dining space.
If you are weighing aluminum against other framing metals, our aluminum vs. steel comparison breaks down the rust, weight, and maintenance differences in detail. Every kit on this page is built from the same rust-free aluminum.

Door & window awnings
Compact aluminum-frame awnings that bolt above an entry or a window to throw off rain and shade the glass. Pre-drilled parts make them a straightforward DIY job.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a door awning and a window awning?
A door awning is sized to cover an entryway and keep rain off the door, while a window awning is sized to the window opening and is designed to shade the glass so heat does not build up in the room behind it. Both use the same rust-free aluminum frame and bolt to the wall above the opening.
Can I install an aluminum awning kit myself?
Yes. The kits ship pre-cut and pre-drilled for DIY assembly with common tools. Door and window awnings can usually be handled by one or two people. Wider patio covers are still DIY, but an extra set of hands makes positioning the panels easier. See our installation guides for step-by-step help.
Will an aluminum awning rust?
No. The frames are made from aluminum, which does not rust. Aluminum forms a natural protective oxide layer, so it holds up to rain, humidity, and coastal salt air without the corrosion that affects steel over time. That is why it needs so little upkeep.
Do I need a permit to install an awning?
It depends on where you live and the size of the structure. Some awnings are small enough to fall under exemptions, while larger patio covers may require a permit. Always check with your local building department before you install, and see our permit guide for general guidance on what to ask.
What warranty comes with an aluminum awning kit?
Our aluminum structures are backed by a 10-year warranty. You can review the full coverage details and terms on our warranty page before you buy.
