Product Information
Full details
This manual retractable awning is designed for homeowners seeking to create a comfortable and shaded outdoor space. Its key benefit is providing adjustable UV and water resistance for patios and balconies. A potential caveat is that it requires manual operation and assembly. The awning features a durable, rust-resistant powder-coated aluminum frame and a high-density polyester fabric with a PU coating, offering protection from the elements. Its angle and height are adjustable, and it can be smoothly opened and retracted using a long hand crank.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this awning?
Please refer to the product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Can this awning be installed on a pergola?
Compatibility depends on the pergola's structure. It must have a sturdy, load-bearing surface suitable for mounting. Always consult the installation manual and ensure the pergola can support the awning's weight and wind resistance.
How do I clean the fabric?
The fabric can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before retracting.
Is the assembly process difficult?
Assembly requires tools and careful following of instructions. It is recommended to have two people for installation, especially for mounting the main unit.
What are the exact dimensions of the awning when fully extended?
The awning has a total size of 300 x 250 cm (W x H). The fabric blind itself measures 300 x 120 cm (W x H).
Can I leave the awning out in moderate wind?
It is not recommended to leave the awning extended in windy conditions. Always retract the awning when not in use or when strong winds are expected to prevent damage.
Is the frame color white or grey?
The frame color is white, while the fabric color is Anthracite (a dark grey).
Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to crank.
Check for obstructions in the fabric or mechanism. Ensure the awning is not over-extended. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.
Fabric seems loose or saggy.
Ensure the fabric is properly tensioned and secured to the roller. Adjust the angle pitch if the design allows, to create a slight downward slope for water runoff.
Awning does not extend or retract fully.
Verify that the mounting is secure and the frame is aligned correctly. Check for any binding in the arms or roller tube.
Water pooling on the fabric.
Adjust the pitch of the awning to create a slope for water to run off. Ensure the fabric is taut.
