Since the video's point is that awnings are too unattractive for people to use them, then hot damn is that so much worse. Solid metal gates - for when you want your house to look like a convenience store in a bad neighborhood when riots are about to start.
These are soooo common on old houses in Melbourne. I've never met anyone who lives in one, but they're often closed all year which is insane to me (are these people sitting in the dark in their living rooms??)
The most common ones are made out of very thin plastic. There's also older ones out of wood. The most common ones are out of aluminum, so not strictly protective. Steel shutters are rather rare on houses and more something stores would use.
