Installing awnings with a "problematic" (?) mounting situation

you have a picture of our house with the retracted sunshade in your floor plan topic, there are only two 4mm steel cables running from the house to the columns (50 or 60mm diameter), the left column can be lowered by 75cm in the evening sun.

Awnings need more slope, that's why you are so high next to the neighbor

Yes thanks, I remember. For me, the oversized size was also only limited to an awning. Besides, I am no longer a fan of wind and sun sensors on awnings. Years of experience with them have shown that you get more annoyed by them than they are useful, at least for me. When you are home, the awning is out anyway; when you are not home, the awning stays in anyway. I really could have saved the money back then; after 1 year I disconnected it and never turned it on again—

Our sail has no sensors, but electric drive with remote control, 4.8m is the maximum extension, and the larger the sail, the less the person slips after the shadow

Okidoki, now I understand you.... always these lines that you constantly stand on. You have NO fixed sail, basically like an awning but guided on a rope and supported at the ends by the two posts.
Good idea!
Then that would also be an option for the OP; I just didn’t want a jointed-arm awning of such dimensions. We currently have a larger cantilever umbrella on the terrace, which moves and tilts with the wind but somehow you’re always on alert whether it might still take off, even though I’ve taken every conceivable precaution.
But such a rope version wouldn’t be bad if the OP wants nothing freestanding. As I said, such a monster as a jointed-arm….. no thanks, whether they could screw it to the house or not.

We have a 4 × 4 m cantilever umbrella, concreted in and extremely stable. It was not the cheap stuff from the hardware store either. The advantage is that you can tilt it against the sun, so that even the sideways sun is optimally blocked. The fabric is waterproof, so it also works in the rain. I can recommend it without reservation.

My cantilever umbrella is actually great here but somehow the wobbling in the wind worries me....... It's probably more about me again because nothing is going to blow away-
