Breaking Boundaries in Scale

ProShade Awnings continuously introduces cutting-edge, ambitious advancements to the shade industry, challenging the boundaries of design and utility every single year. The Madera Giant Retractable Awnings hold the official title of the largest lateral arm systems available on the American market. Delivering an incredible 20-foot extension, they establish an entirely new benchmark for scale—a milestone they are set to maintain for the foreseeable future.

The Madera Giant completely re-imagines what large-scale shade can achieve. Even with its massive footprint, it retains the trademark refinement and rugged build quality found across all ProShade Awnings merchandise. Specialized architectural elements guarantee rock-solid stability without compromising its streamlined profile.

Heavy-Duty Architectural Engineering

From a structural standpoint, the Madera Giant utilizes a double square bar lateral arm configuration tailored for extreme, heavy-duty applications. It delivers the exact same flexible utility as standard retractable models but brings vastly superior structural integrity to the table. To achieve perfect stability at its full 20-foot extension, the Giant must be mounted using two 13-inch high brackets for each arm, alongside a central bracket to maintain precise alignment.

Shorter extensions of 15 or 16 feet can be safely mounted to standard siding using a dedicated ledger board. Conversely, for the maximum extensions, anchoring into reinforced concrete or solid cinder block walls is highly advised to guarantee a secure installation.

Incredibly, despite its massive capacity and maximum reach, the Giant only demands two feet of clearance at the front, offering excellent installation versatility.

Premium Hardware and Safe Operation

The heavy-duty aluminum skeleton is treated with a clean, white powder-coated layer, paired with rugged stainless steel components and chain-linked elbow joints. Personalized frame shades can also be produced on demand to align with your home’s unique color scheme.

Crucial Operational Details: Lateral arm awnings house high-tension internal springs and are built solely to provide relief from the sun. They must be completely rolled up during severe weather conditions like high winds, downpours, or snowstorms. Neglecting to retract the system during harsh weather can result in structural harm that is not protected by the manufacturer’s warranty.
