Shop awnings and blinds in West Sussex
Before ordering an awning in West Sussex, we check the height above the pavement and what the highway or roads authority expects.
Cafes in the South East can use an awning to give outdoor tables some shelter, subject to any licence your West Sussex premises need. We inspect the wall at your West Sussex premises for strength, because a folding-arm awning pulls hard on its brackets.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of West Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Sussex, including Bognor Regis, Chichester, Crawley, Haywards Heath.
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.
Can I put my logo on an awning?
Yes. Logos and names can be printed or sign-written on the cover or valance. In England, advertising on an awning can count as a sign, so check the advertisement rules, particularly on listed buildings or in conservation areas. We send a proof before the fabric is made up.
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.
