retractable awning

Foldable outdoor shade

A retractable awning is a canopy that can be extended to provide shade or shelter and folded back when not needed.

Unlike fixed awnings, retractable versions roll or fold against a building, typically operated by hand crank or motor: We extended the retractable awning over the patio when the sun got too intense.
