Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a firm, level mounting surface such as a masonry wall or a solid wooden beam. Ensure that all hardware is securely anchored according to the included instructions to support the awning's weight. For care, keep the fabric clean by periodically brushing off loose dirt or wiping it down with a mild soap solution and water. Always allow the fabric to dry completely before retracting it for an extended period to prevent mold or mildew. Inspect the mounting bolts annually to ensure they have not loosened due to thermal expansion or movement.
