Hi Diane, We did not design this retractable awning, the homeowners already had it installed before we came along. The fabric is an exterior-grade open weave solar fabric that helps block the sun. In Austin we recommend Austin Shadeworks, they are helpful when working with custom designs.

Thank you so much. I was intrigued because the billowy effect is very moorish in nature. I am in search of coverage for a pergola in my very sunny backyard of a home that has very very strong North African features.Your info will be very helpful.

Check out Corradi. They specialize in exterior shading systems. You should be able to find an authorized dealer in your area.
