FAQs

How do I assemble the awning?

The awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly. Please refer to the detailed assembly manual provided with the product for step-by-step instructions. Professional installation is highly recommended after assembly.

What is the maximum UV protection level?

The fabrics are tested to have a Rated UPF of 50+, meaning a maximum of 2% of UV rays will pass through the fabric.

Can I adjust the awning's slope?

Yes, the specially designed elliptical arms allow you to adjust the slope of the awning between three preset positions: 15, 30, and 55 degrees from the horizontal.

What is the awning made of?

The awning is constructed from lightweight aluminium, featuring an aluminium roller, aluminium front bar, and forged aluminium arms. It also utilizes steel cables for tension.

Is the awning suitable for all wall types?

The awning should be mounted on solid, load-bearing walls. It is crucial to have a professional installer assess your wall type and ensure a secure mounting.

How should I clean the awning fabric?

Clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Always retract the awning during adverse weather conditions.

What are the dimensions of the front bar and roller?

The aluminium roller has a diameter of 68mm, and the aluminium front bar measures 44mm x 34mm.

Troubleshooting

Awning does not extend or retract smoothly

Check for obstructions in the track or fabric. Ensure the arms are not binding. Verify that the internal steel cables are properly tensioned.

Fabric appears saggy or uneven

Adjust the arm angle to achieve proper fabric tension. Ensure the front bar and roller are parallel. Check that the fabric is evenly rolled onto the drum.

Arm adjustment mechanism is stiff

Ensure the adjustment points are clean and free from debris. Lubricate the adjustment points lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if recommended by the manufacturer.

Water pooling on the fabric

Adjust the arm angle to ensure a sufficient downward slope (minimum 15 degrees) for water runoff. Retract the awning during heavy rain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent UV protection (UPF 50+).
  • Adjustable arm angle offers flexible shade positioning.
  • Lightweight aluminium construction reduces wall stress.
  • Durable materials and powder-coated finish ensure longevity.
  • Affordable 'economy model' pricing.

Cons

  • Requires assembly before installation as it arrives flat-packed.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high winds due to its lightweight nature.
  • The projection is limited by the maximum reach of the arms.
  • The adjustment mechanism may require occasional checks for tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before installation. This involves connecting the various aluminium components and ensuring the fabric is properly attached to the roller and front bar. It is strongly recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified professional to ensure the awning is securely mounted to a suitable wall structure, as improper installation can lead to damage or injury. Pay close attention to the manufacturer's assembly instructions for correct component placement and tensioning.

Compatibility: This awning is designed to be mounted on solid wall surfaces capable of supporting its weight and the forces exerted when extended. Compatibility with specific wall types (e.g., brick, concrete, timber frame) should be assessed by the installer.

Care: To maintain the appearance and function of your awning, regularly clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Ensure the awning is fully retracted during high winds, heavy rain, or snowfall to prevent damage. Periodically check the tension of the steel cables and the tightness of the arm adjustment bolts.
