Collection: 8 Foot Awnings

An 8 ft awning covers French or sliding patio doors, a small balcony, or a pair of windows. It is also the smallest size of our retractable patio awnings. Below is every Awntech awning that comes in a 8 ft width, with the exact frame width so you can compare it to your space.

8 ft awnings we make

Fixed or retractable?

At 8 ft you can choose either. Fixed awnings stay up year round with no moving parts, which suits windows, doors, and storefronts. Retractable awnings roll out for shade and back in for sun, wind, or winter, which suits patios and decks. At this width, our retractable awnings come with a 6.5 ft (78 in) projection.

How to measure

Measure the width of the window, door, or area you want to cover, including any trim, then add a few inches on each side so the shade reaches past the opening. Pick the closest standard width. For retractable awnings, also decide how far you want it to extend from the wall, called the projection, and make sure you have room on the wall, soffit, or roof for the brackets.

Built to last

Fabric awnings use 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic in 41 colors that resists fading, mildew, and water. Fixed awnings are modular and need no welding, retractable awnings ship fully assembled, and every order has a 3 business day production lead time.

8 ft awning FAQs

Is a 8 ft awning exactly 8 feet wide?
Not always. Each model is named by its nominal size, and the actual frame width at 8 ft ranges from 96 in to 104 in depending on the model. Check the table above or the product page for the exact width.

What if my space is between sizes?
Size up if you want more shade past the edges of the opening, or size down if wall space is tight. For long walls, standard sizes can also be installed side by side.

Can I see colors before I order?
Yes. Your first 5 fabric and metal samples are free.
