Can a compact outdoor awning provide powerful solar protection without taking up precious balcony space?
The Leiner Pico® proves it can. Featuring an ultra-compact frame and space-saving mounting brackets, the Pico is custom-engineered for small terraces, apartment balconies, and intimate courtyard nooks. Custom-measured and installed by A’besco specialists across the Sutherland Shire, it delivers effortless heat control and UV defense without crowding your outdoor living area.
Made to suit your home
Tailor every detail of your Leiner Pico® to complement your home’s exterior design and outdoor layout. Engineered for compact spaces, it provides targeted shade with single-unit dimensions up to 4,250 mm in width with a 2,500 mm projection—delivering broad solar defense without crowding small balconies or verandas.
Select from classic Traffic White (RAL 9010), 18 fine-structured Leiner Lounge finishes, or choose from over 200 custom RAL colours to match your window joinery. Enhance wind stability on exposed coastal balconies with the optional Wind Protect System (WPS)—adding fixable front profile support legs that absorb sudden gusts and stabilise your shade.
Choice of operating systems
The Leiner Pico comes equipped with a high-torque electric motor as standard for effortless daily shade management. Upgrade to Somfy® RTS radio-controlled wireless automation to extend or retract your awning via handheld remote, or incorporate a manual crank drive as a reliable safety back-up drive.
