In the summer, the weather turns comfortable, many people will plan or hold social gatherings in the backyard, on a porch, or in the wonderful home garden. Having the event outside gives the party-goers a chance to experience the nice weather, but also allows the party-giver to take care of many more guests than is feasible inside the house.

The canonical home-based awning is made up of a metallic frame which serves to hold the fabric that shades guests or home occupants underneath. Such a frame can be made to open and close if its retractable, or simply fixed in configuration. One usually hangs the frame over a window or door, covering the immediate area with shade and perhaps extending a bit over a patio or porch. Newer awnings may have remote electronics for opening and closing.
