Is this awning waterproof or water-resistant?
The fabric is water-resistant due to its PU coating, offering protection against light rain. It is not fully waterproof and should be retracted in heavy rain.
Do I need to attach this awning to a wall?
No, this is a freestanding awning and does not require wall mounting. It comes with a sturdy base for stability.
How do I adjust the angle and height?
The angle and height can be adjusted manually. Please refer to the assembly manual for specific instructions on adjustment mechanisms.
What is the material of the frame?
The frame is made of rust-resistant, powder-coated aluminum.
Can this awning withstand strong winds?
While sturdy, the awning is designed for moderate weather conditions. It is recommended to retract the awning during strong winds to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to crank
Check for any obstructions in the fabric or mechanism. Ensure the frame is properly assembled and all bolts are tightened. Lubricate the crank mechanism if necessary.
Fabric seems loose or uneven
Ensure the fabric is correctly tensioned during assembly. Check that all attachment points are secure. Minor wrinkles may disappear after being exposed to sunlight.
Base is unstable
Ensure the awning is placed on a completely level and firm surface. If on soft ground, consider using weighted bases or securing the frame (though this may deviate from freestanding use).
Awning does not fully retract
Inspect the retraction mechanism for blockages or damage. Ensure the fabric is not snagged. Contact customer support if the issue persists after inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is required for this awning. Ensure you have a clear, level area for placement. Follow the included instructions carefully to assemble the frame and attach the fabric. The base should be firmly positioned to provide stability.
Compatibility:
This awning is designed to be freestanding and does not require wall mounting. It is compatible with most outdoor surfaces like patios, decks, or lawns, provided the ground is level and firm enough to support the base. It is not compatible with high wind or heavy rain conditions without being retracted.
Care:
To maintain the awning's condition, periodically clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the fabric is dry before retracting, especially if it has been exposed to rain. For the frame, wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Retract the awning during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage.
