A retractable awning includes a roller reversibly driven and mounted within a housing for support on a support structure and both inner and outer sets of pivotally interconnected support arms for supporting an awning canopy when extended. The inner set of support arms support the canopy beneath an inner segment of the canopy adjacent the support surface and are designed to deploy before the outer set of support arms with the outer set of support arms supporting the canopy beneath an outer segment of the canopy further away from the support surface than the inner segment. Both the inner and outer sets of support arms can be partially or fully deployed to regulate the extent to which the awning is extendible away from the support surface. The outer support arms are mounted for pivotal movement within a plane forming a different angle with horizontal than the inner set of support arms so the inner segment of the canopy above the inner set of support arms when extended forms a different angle with horizontal than does the outer segment of the awning canopy overlying the outer set of support arms when extended.
A retractable awning for attachment to a support surface comprising in combination:
