If you are considering having an awning installed on your patio, then you may think that you should now wait until spring or summer next year to get it done. It is often a good idea to have the awning installed around this time of year for a number of reasons. During the colder months, when outdoor living companies tend to go a little quiet, they will be looking for more business. They may have a number of different types of special offers on and you can often make a quite a big saving compared to what prices are in the spring or summer. It may be that you can even buy your awning and secure the price but then not have it installed until next year. This may also allow you to spread the cost out over monthly payments.
As the weather starts to warm up in March / April time everyone has the same idea and rushes out to get an awning. This can cause a backlog with supply and also with the installation and you may find that it is mid to late June before you can have it done. This means you will miss out on a large portion of summer. Having one early means you will be ready as soon as the good weather starts.
