How do I clean the cream fabric?
Use a soft brush and a mild soapy water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers.
Does the height of the awning adjust?
The installation height is fixed based on where you mount the brackets, though the pitch (angle) is often adjustable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The installation process is designed to be straightforward for most DIY-capable homeowners; however, ensuring the wall structure can support the weight of the frame is critical. For care, avoid rolling up the fabric while it is wet to prevent mildew buildup. If the fabric becomes dirty, spot clean it gently with a mild detergent and water, then ensure it is completely air-dried before retracting. Regularly inspect the mounting bolts to ensure the frame remains securely attached to your home exterior.
