Retractable Side Awning Beliani DORIO 160 x 300 cm, dark grey

The Retractable Side Awning Beliani DORIO 160 x 300 cm in dark grey is a vertically mounted roll‑up panel designed to provide lateral shade, wind protection and privacy for patios, balconies and garden seating areas. The awning attaches to walls or posts and can be pulled out along its guide to create a screen that reduces sun glare and improves outdoor comfort in residential settings.

Advantages

This side awning offers a compact and practical solution for creating shade and shelter without occupying floor space. The roll‑up design allows the fabric panel to be retracted when not needed, protecting the material and preserving sightlines. Dark grey fabric delivers neutral aesthetics that integrate with a wide range of outdoor furniture and building facades. The product is intended for straightforward vertical installation and provides immediate privacy and wind screening.

Suitable for

• Balconies needing lateral sun and wind protection
• Patios and terraces where a temporary privacy screen is required
• Garden seating areas exposed to low to moderate winds
• Outdoor spaces that benefit from a retractable, stowable shade panel

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed as a primary structural windbreak for very exposed locations or for continuous use in severe weather. It is intended for residential outdoor use; commercial or high‑traffic public installations may require more heavy‑duty systems. The awning provides lateral protection and is not a full overhead canopy.

What to consider before purchase
