Available roof space When you are planning to introduce a retractable roof to your existing structure, or maybe your building design is limited for some other reasons, a primary driver of cost can be out of your control. Suitable space for accommodating retraction of the overall movable space will be translated into much less complex engineering and design, thereby lower cost.

Materials and Size It is not surprising that material quality significantly impacts the cost of a retractable roof. While cheaper fabric pergolas come with lower upfront price tags, they will not last as long as those waterproof pergolas. Also, larger awnings will tend to cost you more than smaller ones as they need more materials and more set-up time. A big awning with cheap materials will cost less than a smaller one from a trusted brand. Variably, the latter is a smart investment

Quality of installation The quality of installation and manufacturing of your roofing system plays a crucial role while determining your satisfaction with your roof while you install it. You need to speak to your supplier regarding the installation process and know the approaches of installations they will use to ensure your retractable roof will be safe to use and strong and durable enough to last long.

Repair and maintenance Whether it’s the sun’s scorching rays or pelting rain, retractable roods are exposed to the worst of the weather. Regular maintenance will certainly increase the cost and add many years to its lifespan. It is seen that robust engineering on the project’s front end can save significant hassle and money over the life of the awning. A pretty well-designed and installed system must last many decades with trifling preventive maintenance.
