The SunStructure GENNIUS is a unique concept in retractable awning systems. The GENNIUS can stand up to the wind, protect you from the rain or harmful UV rays, and keep you cool and comfortable in the brightest sunshine. It combines the beauty of a pergola, the flexibility of a retractable awning and the comfort of a room addition. The GENNIUS has the versatility of covering a small deck, a large patio, or an expansive pavilion.
