In the classic sense.

Awning: An awning is a roof-like, often adjustable, covering typically made of canvas or other materials that projects from the exterior wall of a building. It provides shade and protection from rain for windows, doors, patios, and store entrances. Synonyms include canopy, sunshade, and sunblind.

These are almost always French in style. Which I actually like.

There's quite a bit of them here in D.C.
