Awnings

Thinking of adding shade and style to your outdoor space?

Whether you’re looking to reduce heat inside your home, create a relaxing garden retreat or cover a glass roof with smart shading, patio awnings and external shading are a fantastic solution. But with so many options, where do you start? At Ashley Blinds, we’re here to make the process simple. We supply and install made-to-measure awnings across Dorset and parts of Hampshire, helping homeowners create beautiful, functional spaces they love.

Are Patio Awnings Waterproof?

Yes, they are! We offer hundreds of water-repellent fabrics designed for the British weather—so even if it starts to drizzle, you’re covered. From garden awnings to shopfront canopies, we’ll help you find a fabric that’s stylish, practical, and built to last.

Motorised Awning Options

Love the idea of shade at the touch of a button? We can install motorised awnings with market-leading Somfy motors for effortless control. They’re reliable, discreet, and perfect for modern living.

Home Visits Made Easy

We don’t believe in confusing showrooms. Instead, we come to you. Our experienced advisors bring real fabric samples and over 40 years’ combined knowledge to your home—so you can make confident choices in your own space.

What About Lead Times?

Our standard lead time is 6–8 weeks for external blinds and awnings, but this may vary during busy times. We’ll always be honest and keep you informed throughout the process.

Patio Awnings with Peace of Mind

Every awning and canopy we fit comes with a five-year guarantee as standard. That includes parts and labour—because we believe in doing things properly and standing by our work.
