FAQs

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a UPF of 50+, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.

Can I adjust the arm angle to different positions other than the presets?

No, the arm angle can only be adjusted between the three preset positions: 15, 30, and 55 degrees.

Does the awning come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware is typically sold separately to ensure compatibility with various wall types. Please check the product listing for specific inclusions.

How do I clean the awning fabric?

Clean the fabric using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting.

What is the diameter of the roller and front bar?

The awning features a 68mm diameter aluminium roller and a 44mm x 34mm aluminium front bar.

Is this awning suitable for heavy rain or strong winds?

While it offers some protection, it is recommended to retract the awning during heavy rain or strong winds to prevent damage.

Does the awning require assembly?

Yes, the awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before installation.

Troubleshooting

Awning fabric does not extend or retract smoothly.

Check for obstructions in the roller mechanism or along the fabric path. Ensure the arms are properly aligned and lubricate the articulated joints if necessary.

Awning feels loose or unstable after installation.

Verify that all mounting bolts are securely tightened to the wall. Inspect the support arms and ensure they are correctly seated and locked in their position.

Fabric appears saggy or uneven.

Adjust the arm angle to increase fabric tension. Ensure the roller is functioning correctly and the fabric is evenly wound.

Water pools on the awning surface.

Adjust the arm angle to create a steeper slope, allowing water to run off. Ensure the fabric is fully extended and taut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before installation. Ensure you follow the provided assembly instructions carefully. The lightweight aluminium construction aids in handling during installation, but it is recommended to have at least two people for mounting the unit securely to a suitable wall or overhead structure.

Compatibility: The awning is designed for mounting on robust walls or structures capable of supporting its weight and wind load. Compatibility with specific mounting surfaces (e.g., brick, wood, concrete) may require appropriate fixings, which are not always included.

Care: To maintain the awning's appearance and function, regularly clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the tension of the arms and the smooth operation of the roller. Keep the awning retracted during high winds or heavy rain to prevent damage.
