An awning is normally a secondary covering that is attached to the outside of a building, either directly above the windows or to the exterior walls to create an outdoor living area. However, there are also a number of summer and winter garden awning (Wintergartenbeschattung) structures on the market, which are stand alone structures that people install in their gardens. There are a range of garden awnings on the market, from large permanent structures through to portable pop-up modules. When people are looking for shade and protection in a garden environment, and want something that is larger and more stable than an umbrella, a winter garden awning is often the best choice.

Awnings have a long history of use around the world, being first used by the ancient Egyptian and Syrian civilisations to shade market stalls and domestic homes. In these days, an awning is likely to have looked like a woven mat covering, and would have been used predominantly to provide shade from the hot summer sun. The term awning has taken on a much larger meaning in the last few centuries however, where it is used to describe a variety of different shade coverings that are used in a range of different settings. While most awnings are fitted onto the exterior walls of a home or business, either above the windows or to create an outdoor space, free standing awnings have also become popular in recent times.

The term garden awning can describe either be a free standing structure in a garden setting or an awning that has been installed onto the exterior walls of a home. Garden awnings are often used by people as a way to expand a living space, and enjoy the great outdoors while still being protected from the harsh rays of the sun. Awning covers can be made from a range of different materials, including aluminium, canvas, cotton, and a variety of polyester materials. Some awnings are waterproof and are able to protect people from the elements, while others are only designed to provide shade from the sun. Access to a winter garden awning is a great way for people to enjoy the outdoors and expand their living space beyond the confines of their home.
