Like a hug from a grizzly bear, sunlight is a pleasant, warming treat and only dangerous if you make eye contact. Protect eyes from sunbeams with today's Groupon: for $99, you get $600 toward the purchase of an outdoor acrylic awning from SunSetter Awnings, redeemable online or over the phone.

The self-proclaimed No. 1 awning-dispensing outlet in America, SunSetter Awnings stocks the latest in brand-name shade makers from Vista, Motorized, and Oasis. With motorized and manual models, SunSetter Awnings helps keep decks and patios up to 20 degrees cooler while protecting delicate epidermises from 99% of harmful UV rays. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum components and water-repellent materials, SunSetter's wares come in a variety of sizes and 16 colors of elegant, 100% solution-dyed woven acrylic fabric.

Cover hardwood decks with a Motorized XL awning ($2,229+), or accessorize outdoor adult play spaces with a Vista awning ($1,269+). If entertaining areas are located away from homes, near the pool, or at the bottom of a sun-kissed mineshaft, SunSetter also offers the free-standing Oasis unit ($1,549+).

Every SunSetter comes with a five-year limited warranty. With their retractable-reach feature, sun shields never need to be taken down in the winter and can be closed when homeowners want to enjoy the sun. Along with shading and shielding UV-drenched domiciles, SunSetter awnings keep the sun from heating homes, helping to reduce air-conditioning bills and indoor crabgrass infestations.

Shipping for all SunSetter awnings is $128, and there will be additional shipping charges for awning accessories.
