Just done mine recently.

3mm thick solid clear polycarbonate awning for backyard.

Have had some rainy days last week. Surprisingly the rain noise is not as loud as the metal awning by next door. Being translucent seems to be doing very well in getting my clothes dried daily without worried of intermittent rain in between. That’s the purpose of the awning anyway.

There are many brands of polycarbonate out there. Just do your homework and pick wisely.

If budget is not an issue by all means go for lexan double wall-proven product with good sound and heat resistant for those who are sensitive towards rain drop sound and not having the awning as drying yard lol.

Just a heads up, unless your windows and rooms are properly sound proofed, no point of having a super quiet awning while your neighbors are using typical metal awning . But that's just my 2 cent .
