Automatic Retractable Awning Blue and White Striped | Côtier

Blue and white, across four metres of retractable canopy. The Côtier brings the most distinctly coastal colour combination in the Shadelys awning range to a 400cm wide motorised shade structure, extending three metres outward from the wall above a patio, deck or alfresco dining area at the press of a button. Where the Marquise anchors a space in deep anthracite and the Brise opens it in pale cream, the Côtier references something else entirely: the blue and white of a beach umbrella, a sailing hull, a coastal café awning. The outdoor space as a place you want to be in, not just a place you are shading.

The powder-coated aluminium frame is built for rust resistance, combining a lightweight profile with the structural rigidity required to support a 4m wide canopy at full projection. The folding arm mechanism extends and retracts smoothly under motorised operation, with the included remote control managing the full sequence from anywhere in the outdoor area. The manual hand crank provides a reliable independent backup for installation, power interruptions or everyday preference over motorised operation.

The canopy angle and mounting height are both adjustable, allowing the Côtier to be set to the specific geometry of your outdoor space and the sun angle that matters most across your day. The blue and white fabric introduces colour and pattern overhead rather than a flat tone, creating a canopy that is as much a design feature as a functional shade structure.

A motorised 4m automatic retractable awning for coastal and character-driven Australian outdoor spaces

The Côtier extends to 400cm wide with a 300cm projection from the wall, a footprint suited to a large alfresco dining area, a generous deck adjacent to the house or any outdoor entertaining space where a freestanding shade structure would occupy usable floor space. The UV-resistant, water-resistant PU coated polyester canopy handles direct sunlight and light to moderate rainfall without saturating, and holds its blue and white combination through sustained UV exposure without the blue fading toward a pale grey or the white yellowing.

The two-tone striped format is the most visually distinctive canopy in the range. Where a solid colour reads as a plane of shade overhead, a striped canopy introduces rhythm and movement into the outdoor space, softening the architectural weight of a 4m wide overhead structure and connecting it visually to the garden, the coast or the sky beyond. It is the choice for outdoor spaces where the awning is meant to contribute to the setting rather than simply cover it.

For shade coverage beyond the awning zone, our Cantilever Umbrellas and Shade Sails collections offer complementary freestanding options for open decks, garden areas and poolside settings. To compare with the solid-tone versions of the same awning, see the Marquise in anthracite or the Brise in cream.

Blue and white in the Australian outdoor setting

Blue and white is the palette of Australian coastal living at its most direct. Against white render or pale timber cladding, a blue and white striped awning reads as an extension of the coastal aesthetic rather than a contrast to it. Above a deck with outdoor furniture in natural materials, it introduces the colour that makes the space feel like a destination rather than a utility area. In garden settings away from the coast, the blue and white combination brings a fresh, relaxed quality that neither a dark nor a pale solid canopy can replicate on its own.

The practical case is as strong as the aesthetic one. Blue tones absorb overhead light more effectively than white or cream, creating meaningful shade beneath the canopy during the peak midday and afternoon hours. The white component reflects some of the heat load back upward, moderating the temperature beneath the striped canopy to something between a dark and a pale solid alternative. It is the combination that balances shade performance with visual openness more naturally than any single tone.
