awnings
Mounted fabric overhangs
Awnings are roof-like coverings that extend over windows, doors, or outdoor spaces to provide shade or shelter from weather.
They attach to buildings and project outward, often made of canvas or metal: The café's striped awnings shaded the sidewalk tables.
Retractable awnings can be rolled up when not needed.
