Browse 12 awning designs by support type, roofing material and home, then see what each one costs per metre run.
Every awning design starts with two decisions: how it is held up, either fixed to the wall with brackets or rods and no posts (cantilever), or carried on posts at the outer edge, and what it is roofed with: polycarbonate, glass, metal deck, aluminium louvre or fabric. No-post awnings keep the floor clear but depend on a strong wall and suit shorter projections; posts let an awning reach further over a yard or driveway. Use the filters below to narrow the 12 concept designs by support, material or home type.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render, grouped by support type, roofing material and the home it usually suits. Tap any image to enlarge it. Every card links to a ClickBina guide or tool for cost, wall-joint sealing or rain noise.

quieter metal roofs in rain →These are illustrative concept designs created to show style options. They are not completed ClickBina projects; your awning is sized and quoted to your own wall, space and approval rules.

Start with what the awning has to cover and what it can hang from. Measure how far out it needs to reach, check whether the wall above is solid concrete or brick, and note where the rainwater can go. Those three facts decide whether a no-post or a post-supported design is even possible.
Think about rain as much as sun. A Malaysian downpour arrives sideways, so a short awning over a window may need a deeper projection than you expect, and every awning needs a fall, a gutter or a drip edge that keeps water off the wall and the door.
| Option | How it looks | Strong points | Watch for | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No posts (cantilever) | Brackets, struts or rods into the wall; floor clear | Clean look, nothing to walk around | Needs a solid wall; shorter reach | Windows, doors, side walls |
| With posts | Posts at the outer edge, beam at the wall | Reaches further, less load on the wall | Post footings; posts in the way of cars | Yards, porches, walkways |
| Polycarbonate | Clear, opal or tinted sheets | Light, bright, budget-friendly | Dulls and drums in rain over time | Most locations |
| Glass | Clear sheet on stainless fittings | Crisp modern look, lasts | Heavy; shows dirt; warm below | Entrances, side doors |
| Metal deck / zinc | Profiled metal sheet | Shade, low cost, durable | Noise and heat unless insulated | Drying yards, utility areas |
| Aluminium louvre | Blades that tilt open and shut | Adjustable light and airflow | Cleaning; motor needs power | Patios, decks |
| Fabric (retractable) | Fabric on folding arms | Shade only when you want it | Wind; fabric replacement | Balconies, patios |
| Location | Usually works | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Window or side wall | No-post polycarbonate or ACP canopy on brackets | Wall junction flashing; drip edge over the sill |
| Main door | Glass on stainless fittings or a flat ACP canopy | Fixings into sound wall; drainage away from the door |
| Back yard or outdoor kitchen | Polycarbonate or insulated metal roof, with posts if it reaches far | Heat and smoke over the hob; gutters |
| Drying yard | Metal deck or polycarbonate on posts | Condensation drips and rain noise |
| Car porch extension | Polycarbonate on a steel frame with posts | Council approval; joint with the old porch roof |
| Condo balcony | Retractable fabric or a light awning approved by management | Management rules on the facade |
Awnings are priced per metre run installed. ClickBina's awning cost guide puts polycarbonate at RM350 – RM700, retractable canvas at RM400 – RM900, corrugated zinc or metal at RM250 – RM500, aluminium louvre at RM800 – RM1,800 and tempered glass at RM900 – RM2,000 per metre run (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026). Where there is no wall to lean on at all, standalone posts add RM500 – RM2,000 each, plus their footings.
Flat ACP canopies, timber-look slat roofs and insulated sandwich-panel roofs are quoted per job. For a first figure for your own size and material, try the awning cost calculator.
