Product Information
Full details
The vidaXL Manual Retractable Awning is an ideal shade solution for homeowners and business owners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces like patios, gardens, or terraces with a durable, weather-resistant cover. Its key benefit lies in the flexible, manually operated design that allows you to easily adjust the shade coverage according to the sun's position throughout the day. However, it is important to note that the installation process requires two people and manual assembly, which may be challenging for those without basic tools or physical assistance.

FAQs
Does the awning come in different sizes?
Yes, vidaXL offers several sizes ranging from 150 cm to 350 cm to fit various space requirements.
Can I leave the awning out during winter?
It is recommended to retract the awning during winter or extreme weather to protect the fabric and mechanism from heavy snow or ice buildup.
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, the fabric should be cleaned while attached to the frame using a soft brush and mild soap; do not use harsh chemicals.
Can one person install this alone?
Due to the size and weight of the steel frame, a two-person team is strongly recommended for a safe installation.
Is the frame rust-resistant?
The steel frame is designed for outdoor use, but regular cleaning and inspecting for scratches in the paint will help prevent surface rust over time.
How do I determine the correct height for mounting?
Mount the awning at a height that provides sufficient head clearance while still allowing the desired angle for shade coverage.
Troubleshooting
Awning fabric sagging
Check the arm tension and ensure the frame is leveled correctly during installation.
Crank is difficult to turn
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts and check for any debris caught in the mechanism.
Awning is unstable
Verify that all mounting bolts are fully tightened and that the wall anchors are secure in the masonry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a two-person team for safety. You will need a standard screwdriver and potentially a drill for wall mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and capable of supporting the steel frame's weight. Compatibility is high as the awning is designed for universal placement on brick, concrete, or wood-framed structures. For maintenance, keep the fabric clean by brushing off loose debris and using a mild soap solution for stains. Always ensure the awning is completely dry before retracting it for long-term storage to prevent mold or mildew growth on the fabric.
