A cosy balcony or terrace can make a huge difference in your daily life. Enjoy a coffee outside, let the kids play, read a book in peace or simply relax in the fresh air. But too much sun, heat or curious neighbours can quickly spoil the experience. Fixed awning systems are expensive, require drilling into the façade and are often not allowed in rental properties. That’s why the Awning Balcony Patio Retractable Awning UV50+ Sun Shade Awning Clamp is such a clever, affordable and durable solution that is becoming very popular across Europe.
This product is available on AliExpress for €66.99 (including VAT) via this link: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4SFVV2t
And here’s the important part: there are no additional customs or administration fees. In the past, people often had to pay unexpected charges upon delivery. Today, AliExpress handles VAT and any import duties in advance, so the final price is completely transparent.
Why this awning is so popular
The system uses a smart clamp structure that locks between the floor and ceiling of your balcony, without any drilling. In practice, that means:
- No damage to walls or façade
- Ideal for tenants and apartments
- Very quick to install
- Just as easy to remove and take with you when you move
The awning is available in several sizes, including:
- 200 x 120 cm
- 250 x 120 cm
- 300 x 120 cm
- 350 x 120 cm
One customer writes:
“I have already bought 5 blinds and installed them myself… They are very good at blocking the sun. And they look very good on the house facade.”
Another review says:
“Excellent quality, clear instructions.”
The average rating is 4.9/5 stars based on 48 reviews, all from verified buyers.

High-quality materials and smart features
The fabric is made from polyester with a PU coating, which provides:
- UV50+ protection
- Water resistance
- Good colour fastness
- Effective protection from both sun and rain
The frame is built from iron and aluminium, giving the awning stability and durability.
With the hand crank, you can smoothly extend and retract the awning, while the adjustable feet allow you to set the height between 2 and 3 metres. That way, you control the angle, shade and level of privacy that suits you best.
Perfect for rental homes
Because no drilling is required, this product is perfect for balconies in rented apartments or shared buildings.
And since it can be dismantled in just a few minutes, you can easily take it with you to your next home.

Warning: elsewhere you’ll pay much more
