Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine.

Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
