I would put a fixed timber frame with clear corrugated plastic over it to make a sort of conservatory roof. The frame could be this shape 📐 and sit on battons attached to the side wall. Only because a retractable awning will be more expensive and probably not look as nice as a fixed roof done with well selected materials and finish.
Just realised you said end of terrace … that changes things in terms of design. Would need a couple of vertical bits to hold it up or fix it with some chonky concrete bolts into the brick

I thought about that as an option but it's the window I look out of whilst working so don't really want anything permanent blocking the view or the light.
@Howard that's about where I've got to. Most are described as showerproof but also suitable for year-round use so fuck knows. Not looking really shit when retracted is a concern but there isn't much useful stuff that I can find online.

I'm in a standard victorian terrace (although end of terrace) with a side return. It's a pretty useful spot for DIY, drying clothes, fixing bikes, pizza oven, etc in the summer but not too useful in the winter due to rain.
So, I'm thinking of some kind of retractable awning that I can wind out when necessary in the winter? Anyone got any recommendations or done anything similar. There seems to be a huge variation in prices for these things.
Also, is mounting such a thing to the side of the house wise or could it fuck some stuff up?
