This awning is retractable and not permanent as it has folding arms and in addition does not have any posts (in the front) attached to the deck floor. The pdf link below shows many of the advantages of a RETRACTABLE product versus a FIXED/PERMANENT product. Click on or copy and paste the link in to your browser address bar.

The awning is indeed retractable. Many companies offer an alternative for a permanent roof. This one is from Sunsetter.
