National Awning Week is Marygrove’s annual campaign celebrating retractable awnings and outdoor living. In 2026, it runs from August 2 through August 16. During that time, homeowners can explore retractable awnings in more detail, from features and customization to current offers and expert guidance.
You might just be starting to explore your options, or already thinking about scheduling a consultation. Either way, the goal of National Awning Week is to help you make a more informed decision before investing in a retractable awning.
How Marygrove Started National Awning Week
National Awning Week started as a celebration of what makes Marygrove so special: our customers. We wanted to showcase our customers’ awnings, how they live life outside, and give special promotions during the summer when awnings are used the most.
Previous National Awning Week Campaigns
National Awning Week launched in 2024 and has grown tremendously each year. Since then, the campaign has introduced special financing promotions for qualified customers, social promotions with gift cards for customers sharing their awnings, custom graphics illustrating the equivalent of how many football fields of shade we’ve installed across the United States, and the Marygrove Referral Program.
What's Happening During National Awning Week?
During National Awning Week 2026, homeowners can take advantage of special promotions, financing opportunities, and personalized consultations. The Marygrove Referral Program rewards $100 for each of your first two referrals and $200 for every one after that, once the referred friend completes a qualifying consultation. Backyardle, a 15-day daily word game built around outdoor living, gives away a $50 gift card each day and a chance to win one of three 36-inch Blackstone grills.
Why Buy During National Awning Week?
Retractable awnings are available year-round, but Marygrove’s National Awning Week brings educational resources, consultations, and current promotions together in one place, making it easier to compare your options before buying.
Some features tend to make a bigger difference in day-to-day use, including:
- Size and projection
- Fabric and frame options
- Motorized operation
- Wind sensors
- Integrated LED lighting
- Warranty coverage
- Available financing options
- Professional installation
Understanding how these factors affect performance, durability, protection, and day-to-day use can help you make a more confident buying decision.
What to Look For Beyond Price
The initial quote is only one part of the decision. As you compare your options, product quality, professional installation, warranty coverage, and long-term support often have a much greater impact on your ownership experience than price alone.
Product quality: Look for fabrics specifically engineered for retractable awnings and outdoor exposure. Marygrove uses premium high-performance polyester fabrics, built to withstand years of sun, moisture, and changing weather while holding their color and appearance. Durable frames and quality components round out the reliability.
Professional installation: Even the best awning only performs at its best when it’s installed correctly. Placement, projection, and mounting all affect performance, appearance, and how long it lasts.
Warranty coverage: Frame, fabric, motor, and accessories are often covered separately, each with its own terms and length. It’s worth reviewing before you buy so there are no surprises later.
Features: Motorized controls, wind sensors, and integrated LED lighting add convenience, but the right combination comes down to how you actually plan to use the space.
Customization: The right size, projection, fabric, frame finish, and placement should complement your home while providing shade exactly where you need it.
Company experience: Customer reviews, installation track record, and responsive after-sales support say a lot about what to expect once the awning is up.
Getting Ready for National Awning Week
You don’t need a finalized plan before speaking with a specialist, but having a few details in mind can make the conversation more productive:
- Which outdoor area you’d like to shade
- When that space gets the most sunlight
- Whether you’re interested in motorization, lighting, or wind sensors
- Colors or design styles you prefer
- Financing options you’d want to explore
- If Marygrove serves your area
A few photos or rough measurements help too, though final measurements are always taken as part of the professional installation process.
When you’re ready, scheduling a consultation is the easiest way to see what works for your space and move forward with confidence. National Awning Week 2026 runs through August 16. For the latest campaign updates, giveaways, and announcements, follow Marygrove on Facebook and Instagram.
