Explanation:
One of the few sites where the term occurs: http://eumarkiser.se/malta.html#
As far as I understand, "frihängande markis" is not a standard term in Swedish to describe an awning. Terminology focuses more on where they are attached: väggmarkis, takmarkis etc. I suggest cantilevered awning, which exists both as permanent and retractable awnings. Hope that helps!
