At Shades of Comfort, we recognise the vital role that inviting outdoor spaces play in the success of your pub. With years of experience specialising in bespoke pub awnings, we've had the pleasure of helping numerous establishments turn their outdoor areas into comfortable spots for drinks and socialising—no matter the season.
Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction hasn't just earned us clients; it's built lasting relationships with many prestigious names across the hospitality sector. You can read more about our work in our case studies.
Expand Your Capacity & Revenue
By expanding your pub's outdoor offerings with a bespoke awning, you can welcome more customers throughout the year. Pub awnings not only shield your guests from rain and provide shade on sunny days, but they also create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages them to stay longer—boosting your revenue in the process.
To make the most of your awning, consider pairing it with our stylish outdoor furniture for hospitality to create an inviting atmosphere. An attractive outdoor space draws in passers-by as well, helping your pub stay lively during busier months and ensuring your outdoor area is enjoyed all year round.
Types of Awnings for Pubs
We offer several high-quality, bespoke pub awning solutions designed specifically for pubs:
- Cassette Awnings
- Drop Arm Awnings
- Twin Fixed Awnings
- Dutch Awnings
- Box Awnings
For detailed guidance on which awning best suits your pub, refer to the sections below, where each type is explained to help you make the ideal choice. Alternatively, you can visit our FAQs for more information.
Maximising Outdoor Comfort with Heating & Lighting
Adding heating and lighting to your pub’s awning ensures that your outdoor space remains inviting even during cooler months or in the evening. These features make your pub's garden an appealing place year-round, whether for a quiet evening drink or a lively weekend gathering.
From adjustable lighting to infrared heaters, these customisable options enhance comfort for your customers and prolong the use of your outdoor areas. For ultimate flexibility, consider our retractable roof systems for hospitality that allow you to adjust coverage based on the weather.
Dutch Awnings
Dutch Awnings are so called, because they first became popular in Holland. All of Shades of Comfort Dutch Awnings or Dutch Canopies are made to measure and manufactured to your requirements. They are ideal for where a heavier awning is not practical or where you are looking to achieve a traditional look and feel. A Dutch Awning can be fixed or retractable. Where they are retractable, they can come either with a pull cord, crank or a remote controlled electric motor.
Twin Fixed Awnings
Twin Fixed Awnings are a free-standing support structure that allows you to fit awnings on both sides to shade especially large open spaces. With this product, no walls are required to attach the awnings, and the awnings themselves can be opened individually as and when needed. Removable stone bases give the structure its sturdiness and flexibility; or the structure can be ground mounted. These awnings are particularly popular with the hospitality side to retail.
Drop Arm Awnings
Drop Arm Awnings are a very traditional canopy which are totally bespoke to suit any building. Not only do we supply & install new drop arm awnings, but we can also supply recovers for the canopies too. The Drop Arm Awning projection can be adjusted to any angle so that it provides a visually appealing look as well as shading.
Cassette Awnings
Cassette Awnings are an enclosed awning where the roller, fabric cover and arms are completely protected and stored in a closed cassette when retracted. Fully cassetted awnings are a popular choice for the protection they provide, prolonging the life and the look of all the elements. Cassette Awnings can be manual or motorised to suit any building type.
Box Awnings
Box Awnings are folding awnings that close into a protective pre-made case or box. When the awning is closed, the cassette box protects the cover and the mechanical parts against the elements. These are particularly popular with our retail customers.

Low Maintenance & Long-Lasting Solutions
Our pub awnings are designed for low maintenance, crafted from durable materials that withstand the elements and reduce wear and tear. Retractable options protect the fabric and mechanical parts when not in use, ensuring the awning maintains its appearance and functionality over the years. With proper care, our awnings provide excellent service, helping you reduce maintenance costs and avoid frequent replacements. Complement your awning with our recycled furniture options to enhance sustainability.
Enhancing Your Pub’s Outdoor Appeal
Pub awnings not only enhance customer comfort but also protect your outdoor furniture, keeping it in good condition for longer. They prevent fading and damage from prolonged exposure to sunlight or harsh weather. Additionally, awnings reduce the amount of direct sunlight entering your pub, helping maintain a cooler interior during summer months and reducing your need for air conditioning. This makes your pub more energy-efficient and contributes to a greener, eco-friendly image. To enhance privacy and comfort, consider adding our terrace screens, adding an extra layer of appeal to your outdoor area.
