An exposed patio can be too hot during the day. An outdoor entertainment area can become unusable when the weather changes. Even a driveway can benefit from proper protection.
A well-designed awning gives these spaces a new purpose. It creates shade when the sun is strong, shelter when the weather turns, and a more comfortable environment for everyday outdoor living.
At EJ Projects, we look at where the awning will sit, how the space is used, and how the structure should work with the existing property.
Turn exposed areas into spaces you'll actually use.
An awning can extend the way you use your home by creating a protected outdoor area for everyday living.

It should look like it belongs there.
An awning shouldn't feel like an afterthought. Its size, position, proportions, and overall appearance all affect how it works with the property around it.
That's why we consider the existing architecture, the available space, how the area will be used, and how the finished structure will connect with the rest of the outdoor environment.
Whether you're covering a compact patio or creating a large outdoor living area, we focus on a solution that feels purposeful and works naturally with your home.
An awning that feels like part of the original design,
rather than something added later.
Built around what your space needs.
Every property is different. Some homeowners need a simple covered area for shade. Others want to transform a large exposed patio into a proper outdoor entertainment space.

We work with the space available and the outcome you're looking for.
The goal isn't simply to cover an area. It's to make the space more useful.
Awning Prices in Durban
Our awning prices depend on the type, size and materials required. Here are the starting prices for our different options.
Window, Door and Patio Awnings
| Awning type | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Window awning | From R1,000 |
| Door awning | From R1,200 |
| Patio awning | From R4,000 |
Freestanding Steel Awnings
Our steel awnings use a structural frame to support a covered area. A hot-dip galvanised steel frame has a protective zinc coating that helps resist rust, making it a practical option for Durban's coastal conditions.
The roof can use IBR steel sheeting, a strong, ribbed metal profile designed to channel rainwater off the roof. Colour-matched Chromadek finishes are another roofing specification to consider where available.
| Size | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Single, 3m x 6m | From R6,000 |
| Double, 6m x 6m | From R12,000 |
| Triple, 9m x 6m | From R18,500 |
Freestanding Aluminium Awnings
Aluminium provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant frame and is well suited to properties exposed to coastal air. The roof and finish depend on the design specified for your property.
| Size | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Single, 3m x 6m | From R11,500 |
| Double, 6m x 6m | From R21,500 |
| Triple, 9m x 6m | Quoted individually |
Roof pitch and drainage are important for solid-roof structures. Where included in the design, gutters collect rainwater along the roof edge and downpipes carry it away from the structure.
The right materials for Durban and KZN conditions.
The right frame, roof or fabric depends on the space you want to cover, the weather it faces and the finish you prefer.
Frames, fabrics and roof materials.
Aluminium frames
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminium is worth considering for properties exposed to coastal conditions.
Galvanised steel frames

Ribbed steel roof sheeting designed to channel rainwater off the roof. A practical option for solid-roof structures.
Chromadek roof sheeting
Colour-coated steel sheeting that provides a finished roof surface in a choice of available colours.

Polycarbonate roof panels
Rigid panels that allow natural light through while providing protection from the elements.
Gutters and downpipes.
Gutters collect rainwater along the roof edge, while downpipes direct it away from the structure. The drainage arrangement depends on the roof design and installation requirements.
