FAQs

What materials are used for the TECTAKE Vertical Awning Eloise?

The housing is made from durable, powder-coated aluminium, and the fabric is robust, water-repellent polyester.

Can I install this awning on any type of wall?

Yes, it is compatible with concrete, brick, and wooden walls or ceilings, provided they are structurally sound for mounting.

How do I operate the awning?

The awning features a smooth hand crank mechanism that allows you to effortlessly extend or retract it to your desired length.

Is the fabric waterproof?

The fabric is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. It should be retracted during heavy rainfall.

What are the dimensions of the awning?

The dimensions are Height: 250 cm, Width: 180 cm, and Depth: 10 cm.

What is the weight of the awning?

The awning weighs 7.1 kg.

Does it offer UV protection?

Yes, the polyester fabric provides excellent UV protection, helping to shield you from harmful sun rays.

Troubleshooting

Awning is difficult to extend or retract

Ensure the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the awning fabric is not caught or twisted. Verify the mounting is secure and the housing is not bent.

Awning does not remain extended

Check if the locking mechanism within the crank system is engaging correctly. Ensure the awning is fully extended and the tension is properly set.

Fabric appears stretched or uneven

This can happen with prolonged exposure or if not properly retracted in wind. Allow the fabric to dry completely, then retract fully and let it rest. Minor creases usually disappear with use.

Noise during operation

Some operational noise from the crank mechanism is normal. If excessive, check for obstructions or ensure the unit is properly lubricated (consult manufacturer recommendations for lubricant type).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Identify a suitable mounting location on a sturdy wall or ceiling (concrete, brick, or wood).
Attach the two included wall brackets to the chosen surface using appropriate screws and anchors (not always included, depending on wall type).
Mount the awning housing onto the brackets, ensuring it is securely locked in place.
Use the hand crank to extend and retract the awning to test its operation.

Compatibility:

Mounting Surfaces: Compatible with concrete, brick, and wooden walls or ceilings. Ensure the chosen surface is strong enough to support the awning's weight and wind resistance.
Environment: Suitable for outdoor use on patios and balconies, as well as indoor use in conservatories or against windows.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the fabric and housing with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Maintenance: Periodically check that the wall brackets and housing are securely fastened. Ensure the crank mechanism is free from debris.
Storage: Retract the awning during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage. Store in a dry, protected area during the off-season if possible.
