Gennius

Gennius Provides Cover for Outdoor Wedding

Unlike umbrellas, this cover won't blow away!  The Gennius is the newest innovation in European-style retractable patio covers. With an amazing ability to master inclement weather, the Gennius unfolds with the push of a button, guaranteeing use of your outdoor space. Most residential Gennius installations actually replace older lateral arm retractable awnings... If you own an awning you're probably not surprised - as you already appreciate the many benefits of owning a high quality, custom shading solution; but have experienced the limitations of products designed mostly for shade. Once you have experienced outdoor living the way it's supposed to be, it's easy to understand the value of a better solution.  The Gennius is also an excellent value for businesses.  When it comes to expanding your outdoor dining - it perfectly fills the gap between the pros, cons and price points of stationary awnings and full-blown renovations. 

The Gennius Is One Strong Awning System, It:

  • Stands up to wind
  • Protects you from the rain
  • Protects you and your furnishings from the sun's harmful UV rays
  • Keeps you cool and comfortable on a hot, humid day
  • Has integrated rain-water management system (Gutters, etc.)
  • Has aesthetically pleasing fabric that blocks either 90% or 100% of the sun's UV rays
  • Can be manually operated or have motorized operation
  • Has optional Zip Screens (or captured edges) or Curtains with clear windows or mesh to enclose your outdoor room
  • Has integrated lighting and audio
