FAQs
Does this awning require electricity?
No, this is a manually operated model that uses a hand crank.
Can one person install this alone?
We strongly recommend two people for assembly and installation to ensure safety and proper handling of the steel frame.
Is the fabric waterproof?
Yes, the fabric is treated with a PU coating, making it water and UV-resistant.
How do I clean the fabric?
Rinse with water and a mild soap solution if necessary. Ensure the awning is completely dry before retracting it for storage.
Can I adjust the angle?
Yes, the design allows you to adjust both the height and the angle to suit your shading needs.
Troubleshooting
Awning feels stiff when cranking
Ensure the side arms are free of debris and that the frame is level. Check that the fabric is rolling evenly on the tube.
Water pooling on the fabric
Adjust the angle of the awning using the tilt adjustment feature to ensure water sheds off rather than sitting on the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly requires a minimum of two people to ensure safety and proper tension during installation. You will need a standard screwdriver to secure the components effectively. The unit is designed to be mounted to a flat, stable surface; ensure your wall structure can support the weight of the steel frame before proceeding. For maintenance, it is recommended to keep the fabric clean by removing debris such as leaves or dust. If the awning gets wet, allow it to dry fully in an extended position before retracting it to prevent mold growth or fabric damage.
