Orienting to the southwest, you can easily cover 2-3 m and the rest with a canopy with rails – it can withstand more wind than an awning with flexible brackets. Awnings also have a wind shroud; with us, it mostly extends only to "half mast," also out of caution because of wind gusts. At the height of summer there is usually no wind – then you can extend it fully.
It's much cooler under a solid roof in the summer than under a canopy alone, and you have all-weather protection for garden furniture.
