FAQs

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

All tested fabrics have a Rated UPF of 50+, meaning a maximum of 2% of UV rays will pass through.

Can I adjust the angle of the awning?

Yes, the arm angle can be adjusted between three preset positions: 15, 30, and 55 degrees from the horizontal.

Does the awning come assembled?

No, the awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before installation.

What materials are used for the arms and frame?

The awning features specially designed elliptic al arms and a front bar made of lightweight, forged aluminium. The frame components have an electrostatically powder coated finish for longevity.

How do I clean the awning fabric?

Clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution. Allow it to dry completely before retracting.

What is the recommended way to operate the awning?

The awning is operated manually with a crank handle. Avoid forcing the mechanism and always retract it in adverse weather conditions.

Is professional installation required?

While assembly is required, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting and safe operation.

Troubleshooting

Awning is difficult to open or close.

Check for obstructions or debris in the mechanism. Ensure the arms are properly aligned and tensioned. Lubricate moving parts if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.

Fabric is not smooth or appears saggy.

Verify that the arms are set to the correct angle and that the front bar is properly secured. Ensure the fabric is evenly tensioned on the roller.

Awning does not stay in the desired position.

Check the tensioning system in the articulated joints. Steel cables may need adjustment. Consult the assembly manual for specific instructions on tension adjustment.

Water pooling on the fabric.

Adjust the arm angle to a steeper tilt (e.g., 30 or 55 degrees) to allow water to run off. Ensure the awning is retracted during heavy rain.
