The Solar Eclipse
SOLAR ECLIPSE | RETRACTABLE AWNINGS
Experience a European-inspired shading system with our latest awning product, the Solar Eclipse. Its sleek design offers a clean and modern look when closed, making it the perfect addition to any home.
THE NEXT GENERATION IN SHADING!
Not only does this awning offer plenty of shade, but its modern and chic design also brings a hint of European flair to your patio or deck. Some important highlights of the Solar Eclipse are:
Semi Cassette & Full Cassette Housing
Semi cassette awnings have a top cover that partially covers the fabric when retracted, while full cassette awnings have a fully enclosed housing for maximum protection. The main advantage of semi and full cassette housing is their ability to protect the fabric from harsh weather conditions, extending the awnings life span. With this unit, you get the best of both worlds with a semi cassette or full cassette housing options.
40mm Galvanized Steel Torsion Bar
The 40 mm galvanized steel torsion bar is crafted with top-notch material, specifically chosen for its long-lasting durability, impressive strength, and ability to withstand rust and damage. This trusty torsion bar has a critical role in holding up the awning fabric, ensuring it stays tight and secure even on breezy days.
Eclipse Shading features our partner brand leaders: Sunbrella Logo 100% acrylic fabrics & Somfy Logo motor and electronics.

Ready to create your own oasis? We’ll help you visualize what Sunbrella® awning fabrics could look like on your home!
USA-Woven Sunbrella® Brand Awning Fabrics Are the Best in the Industry
Feel secure and protected under U.S. made Sunbrella® fabric. These woven awning fabrics are water-repellent, fade-resistant and offer protection from the damaging UV rays of the sun as well as its heat.
Professional seamstresses and computerized equipment at Eclipse Shading Systems cut and sew Sunbrella® awning and marine-grade fabric with weather- and UV-resistant GORE® Tenara® thread – the combination of which lets us produce covers that provide unbeatable solar protection. The fabric is not only protective against the UV rays of the sun, it also holds up to years of exposure to the extreme conditions of the environment. An Eclipse retractable awning with Sunbrella® fabric cover carries a warranty on the cover.
Further Customize Your Eclipse Shading System
We are excited to offer several Sunbrella® awning colors for our products, which are available in a range of up to 150 patterns and color shades. Select from rich solids, stunning stripes and an array of intricate textures.
You will also get to choose the braid color to coordinate the piping on your awning for a coordinated look (for most model units).
