Attach awnings to your house

Awnings may be appropriate for rear or side-yard patios and decks. Awnings must be consistent with the Architectural Style and scale of the dwelling unit to which they will be attached. The color of the fabric must be compatible with the existing colors of the dwelling units and must be replaced as the color fades or material becomes weathered, solid colors should be used rather than stripes or patterns. In most locations in the Association, metal, vinyl, or other plastic fabric shade material is prohibited. Any exposed frames must be painted to match the trim of the dominant color of the dwelling units. Frames must be removed if the awning is removed.
