When you invest in an awning, you’re not just looking for shade, you’re looking for a structure that enhances your space, protects it from the elements, and adds lasting value. At Awning Pro we make use a all-round gutter system.
A Seamless Solution for Rainwater
Unlike conventional awnings that allow rainwater to drip off exposed edges, our gutter system surrounds the entire structure. It captures and channels water away efficiently, keeping patios, driveways, and outdoor living areas clean and dry. For homeowners, this means less mess and maintenance. For architects, it means a design that integrates function and form beautifully.
Built Into Every Awning Style
No matter the application, the gutter system is part of the design DNA:
Adjustable Louvre and IBR Gutter
Patio Ceiling Gutter
Custom-Sized Gutters for Every Site
Every property is different, and we understand that standard solutions don’t always fit. That’s why we offer custom-sized gutters, tailored to suit the specific site conditions of each client. Whether it’s a tricky slope, unusual dimensions, or a bespoke architectural design, our system adapts, ensuring performance and aesthetics are never compromised.
Material Options: Colorplus and Aluminium
To complement both durability and design, our gutter systems are available in Colorplus and Aluminium finishes.

Why All-Round Gutters Matter
Designed for South African Conditions
In Gauteng’s unpredictable climate, this system isn’t just an upgrade — it’s essential. Sudden summer storms or steady winter rains are no match for an awning that’s engineered to handle them all.
Transform your outdoor living space and elevate your designs with Awning Pro’s gutter-protected awnings — engineered for homeowners and architects who demand both elegance and performance.
If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor space, you’ve probably asked: “How much does an awning cost?”
It’s a great question, and one we hear often. The answer depends on a few important factors. Since every structure we build is made to measure, your final price is determined by your chosen style, materials, and installation requirements.
Here’s what affects the cost of an awning or carport, and how to plan your project confidently.
1. Type of Structure
We specialize in fixed awnings that combine durability, style, and function. Our main product range includes:
Each structure type involves different materials, frame designs, and installation details, which affect overall pricing.
2. Size and Coverage Area
Size is one of the biggest influences on cost. Larger areas require more materials and support structures. We calculate pricing per square meter, so the final cost depends on the exact dimensions of your project.
3. Material Used
The material used depends on the specific product and design you choose. Each option is selected for its strength, weather resistance, and long-lasting performance, ensuring your awning or carport is both durable and visually appealing. Different finishes and coatings also affect cost, while adding to the appearance and durability of your structure.
4. Installation and Site Conditions
Every property has its own installation requirements. The wall surface, accessibility, and need for structural support all influence labor time and materials. Our experienced installers ensure every awning or carport is secure, aligned, and built to last.
5. Custom Design and Finishing Touches
Each project is custom-designed to fit your space perfectly. Whether you’re creating a shaded entertainment area, a weatherproof patio, or a strong carport, design choices such as louvre spacing, ceiling finishes, and support frame style shape the final investment.

When homeowners first consider installing adjustable louvre awnings, one of the first questions that comes up is: “How much will it cost?” It’s natural to be price-conscious, but the truth is — louvre awnings are not just an expense. They’re a long-term investment in comfort, lifestyle, and property value.
Let’s explore the advantages that make adjustable louvre awnings one of the smartest upgrades you can add to your home.
Unlike fixed awnings or traditional patio covers, adjustable louvre awnings let you choose how much sun or shade you want.
This flexibility is something no fixed structure can offer.
Your patio, deck, or garden area becomes a true extension of your home. With an adjustable awning, you don’t just use it during certain seasons — you can enjoy it year-round. Families often find they spend more time outdoors once the awning is installed, creating a healthier and more social lifestyle.
Real estate agents agree: outdoor living spaces that are well-designed and functional add serious appeal to a home.
An adjustable louvre awning can:
It’s an upgrade that pays for itself when it comes time to sell.
Awning Pro’s adjustable louvre awnings are made from durable aluminium designed to handle Gauteng’s weather.
Unlike fabric awnings that wear out, aluminium requires little upkeep beyond the occasional rinse. This means you save money in the long run.
Many clients compare our awnings to cheaper shade options — umbrellas, pergolas, or fixed roofs.
But here’s the reality:
An adjustable louvre awning gives you all-in-one protection without the headaches of constant replacement.
Yes, adjustable louvre awnings cost more upfront than basic shading options. But here’s what you actually get for that price:
When viewed as a long-term investment rather than a quick purchase, the price makes sense — and pays itself back in comfort, durability, and resale value.
At AwningPro, we believe your outdoor space should be as enjoyable as your indoor space. An adjustable louvre awning gives you that freedom — shade when you need it, sunshine when you want it, and protection when it rains. If you’re comparing costs, remember: it’s not just about the price tag. It’s about adding lifestyle, value, and peace of mind to your home.

At Awning Pro, our adjustable louvre awnings are built with a strong, weather-resistant aluminium frame — including beams, poles, and supporting structure. This ensures long-term durability with zero risk of internal rusting. When it comes to the Z-louvres (the moving blades that adjust for light and shade), you can choose between aluminium (0.8 mm) or steel (0.54 mm). Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which we’ll unpack below.

Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Some installers still use steel beams and poles in awning structures. The issue? When powder coated, steel is only protected on the outside surface. The inside of the poles and beams remain untreated, which means rust eventually starts from the inside out. That’s why at Awning Pro, we use only aluminium poles, beams, and framing. Aluminium is 100% rust-proof — inside and out — making your awning a much smarter long-term investment.
When choosing your adjustable louvre awning, remember - The entire structure should always be aluminium for durability and rust-resistance. For the Z-louvres, aluminium gives you low-maintenance longevity, while steel offers short-term cost savings but requires more upkeep.
At Awning Pro, we’re here to help you select the right option for your budget and lifestyle — without compromising on quality.
