This motorized canopy offers the significant benefit of instant shade at the touch of a button, effectively cooling outdoor areas during peak summer months.

FAQs
Is the canopy waterproof?
It is water-resistant, but it is not intended for use as a rain shelter and should be retracted in heavy rain.
Can I install this on a wooden shed?
It is recommended to install only on solid walls like brick or concrete to support the weight and force exerted by the canopy.
What happens if there is a power cut?
The canopy comes with a manual winder handle so you can retract or extend it manually if the motor is inactive.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use mild soapy water and a soft brush; avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers.
What is the fabric density?
The canopy uses a 300gsm polyester fabric, which is selected for its high density and durability.
Troubleshooting
Awning does not extend via remote
Check if the unit is connected to power and ensure the batteries in the remote control are fresh.
Motor makes a grinding noise
Check the track for any obstructions or debris that might be catching the fabric during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by at least two people due to the weight and dimensions of the unit. Ensure the mounting surface is solid brick or concrete, as the awning exerts significant leverage when extended.
Care Instructions:

- Retract the canopy completely during inclement weather to prevent water pooling.
- Inspect mounting bolts periodically to ensure they remain secure against the wall.
- Store the remote control in a dry place when not in use.
