Straight Drop Awnings
Straight drop awnings are a sleek, space-saving solution for outdoor shading. Designed to drop vertically from above the window or patio, they offer excellent sun protection, privacy, and wind resistance—making them ideal for verandas, pergolas, and outdoor entertaining areas.
At Taylor & Stirling, we custom-make straight drop awnings in a wide range of fabrics and colours, with manual or motorised operation to suit your lifestyle.
☀️ Why Choose Straight Drop Awnings?
- Blocks heat and glare before it reaches your windows or outdoor space
- Ideal for enclosing patios, balconies, and alfresco areas
- Clean vertical drop—no side arms or projections
- Discreet and modern appearance
- Optional motorisation for effortless control
- Wind-tolerant and space-efficient
🧵 Fabric Options
We offer a wide selection of durable, Australian-made fabrics:
- Mesh – Allows airflow and filtered views while blocking heat and UV
- Canvas – Traditional stripes and solid colours for a classic finish

All fabrics are UV-stabilised, mildew-resistant, and available in a variety of colours to complement your home.
