The awnings they are indispensable accessories for the furnishing of the balcony or terrace. But how much do they cost? The average prices of awnings vary, first of all, according to the type of awning you want to install and, moreover, according to the fabric you choose. Furthermore, these outdoor accessories are simple to assemble but it is always advisable to contact professionals in the sector, who will not only install the awning in a short time, but will also be able to recommend the most right model according to your space. Another element that affects the cost of awnings is the size of the outdoor space to be covered; obviously, installing a curtain for a balcony will cost less than installing a curtain for the terrace or garden. That said, let’s see the average prices based on the different types.
Drop awnings
Leroy Merlin / Drop awning – € 49.90.
The drop awnings, ie those that descend vertically, are the least expensive. The price of the installation is around € 70.00 / sqm, but can vary according to the fabric chosen; for example, the price of an acrylic sheet starts from € 12.95 / m.
Arm awnings
Pinterest / Vertical striped arm awning.
With this model of awning, the installation price it starts to rise because we are around € 150 / sqm.
The gap depends on the fact that this type of awning has a more complex mechanism, as it has two arms that allow the fabric to slide and rewind.
As for the fabric, if you choose a synthetic texture, the cost starts at around € 12.95 / m.
Canopy awnings
Gibus / Canopy awning for the balcony.
The canopy awnings they can be up to 4 meters long and the installation of this accessory varies according to its size. The cost of a canopy awning is around € 230. Furthermore, the price may also vary according to the chosen mechanism, whether mechanical or manual.
Attic awnings

The cost of these outdoor awnings is much higher than the models seen previously. This is because they are very large accessories, which must cover very large areas.
Obviously, also in this case the final price depends on the size of the tent, but in general the cost of an attic tent with a projection of 1 meter and 2.5 meters wide it is on average € 1,200.
Cost of motorized awnings
Gibus / Motorized awning.
Another important distinction is between motorized awnings and manual curtains, the cost of the first will certainly be higher. A motorized awning is equipped with an internal motor, which allows the fabric to be rolled up or unrolled.
The most modern models are even equipped with Wi-Fi with rain sensor, which causes the awning to close by itself when it rains.
The cost of the motorized kit to be installed on the awning varies from € 200 to € 300, up to the most innovative ones that manage to reach € 500.
Awnings with PVC protection
