Flexible Functionality for Relaxation and Safety
An outdoor kitchen shading should be designed with function and flexibility in mind to make the best out of your investment. In addition to fighting the sun, a motorized awning makes it easy to protect your outdoor furniture and stay safe.
Retractable awnings are advantageous over other shading solutions because of its ability to be adjusted in any position. Fully open them or partially retract them, it’s perfectly flexible for your activities.
This flexibility is especially important for any outdoor kitchen shading. Being able to partially retract your awnings to expose the outdoor grill offers many benefits. Besides protecting you from the sun while cooking, the partially retracted awning will also be protected from getting damaged by the smoke and grease since the grill won’t be directly beneath the awning.
Additionally, the openness allows plenty of air flow for your grill. Thus, reducing the risk of the shading catching on fire. Proper air flow also helps prevent carbon monoxide from getting trapped under the awning. This is a safety precaution anyone with an outdoor kitchen directly adjacent to a window of their home must take as the trapped carbon monoxide can possibly creep inside your home via an open window.
