Types and Kinds
There are many other kinds of awning, that we see in our everyday lives. For example, on store fronts, store windows, bar windows, theaters, and cafes. In other parts of the world awnings are used in a similar fashion on barber shop store fronts, fruit and vegetable stores, outdoor and curbside restaurants and market stalls. The actual birth of the awning was spawned by market stall holders back in the days of the ancient Syrians and ancient Egyptian civilizations. The market stall holders had to spend many hours exposed to the hot dessert sun during market days. Therefore, a few stall holders set up crude coverings for their stalls, so that the food and the vendor would stay shaded and cooler. They used thin canvas or cloth just to filter the sun away from the stall and keep the fresh produce in the shade. This was also the days before refrigeration so keeping the fruit and vegetables on the stall in the shade was vital to their freshness and longevity.

The weather sensor is a modern and highly useful addition to modern awnings because it has a sensor that detects quickening wind speeds.
