Surfers Paradise surf club in Knokke, Belgium, needed a reliable sun and rain solution for the terrace along their beachfront clubhouse. Parasols had been tried before, none proved adequate for the conditions.
The location on the beach presented specific demands: constant wind, salt air, and sand exposure. The installation includes side panels, custom-fitted to the full width of the structure, providing additional protection on the terrace. The scissor arm construction and weather-resistant finish make this a fitting solution for a coastal environment, characteristic of the Retrosun Classic.
” After trying out several parasols, all with their drawbacks, we contacted several companies to install a sun awning on our beach against the facade of our clubhouse.
It wasn’t until we finally the weather-proof sun awning from Retrosun that we felt confident enough to go ahead with this project. Right up until the day of the installation, I was still a bit skeptical about the whole undertaking, partly due to our location on the beach, the salt content of the air, and the constant exposure to wind and sand. The completion went flawlessly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our electric scissor arm awning for a whole year. We were so satisfied that we also ordered the sides, which were then meticulously customized to fit the entire structure. A remarkable feat! “
