Bristol and Avon
Shop awnings and blinds in Bristol and Avon
Cafes in the South West can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your Bristol and Avon premises need.
We inspect the wall at your Bristol and Avon premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets. A motor with a wind sensor suits staff who are too busy to watch the weather, and owners across the South West can add one to a Bristol and Avon order.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Bristol and Avon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bristol and Avon, including Bristol.
How high must an awning be above the pavement?
It depends on the highway authority, but 2.3 to 2.75 m above the pavement is common, measured to the lowest point of the awning or valance. Most also want a clear gap from the kerb. We check with your authority before we set the position.
Can an awning stay out in the wind?
No, awnings should be retracted in high wind, as most are designed for shade and light rain. Wind sensors can retract motorised models automatically. BS EN 13561 gives wind resistance classes, so ask which class applies to your product.
Do I need planning permission for a shop awning?
Often yes in England, since an awning can change the appearance of the frontage, and lettering on it can need advertisement consent. Highway approval can also apply. Listed buildings need extra consent, and rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check before ordering.
