FAQs

Does the awning come pre-assembled?

No, the awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before it can be installed.

What is the UV protection rating of the fabric?

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

What is the range of the arm angle adjustment?

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

What materials are used for the frame and arms?

The awning features a lightweight aluminium frame, including the roller and front bar, with forged aluminium for the support arms.

How should I clean the awning fabric?

Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Rinse well and allow to dry completely before retracting.

Can I leave the awning out in bad weather?

It is strongly recommended to retract the awning during heavy rain, strong winds, or snowfall to prevent damage to the fabric and mechanism.

What is the diameter of the roller and the size of the front bar?

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

Troubleshooting

Awning fabric is not extending or retracting smoothly.

Check for obstructions around the roller and arms. Ensure the fabric is not caught or bunched. Verify that the tension in the arms is adequate; if not, consult the manual for tension adjustment.

Awning appears loose or wobbly.

Confirm that the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall. Check the tension of the steel cables within the articulated joints. Ensure all assembly bolts are tightened.

Fabric is sagging.

Adjust the elliptical arms to ensure proper tension. The steel cables within the joints help maintain fabric tautness; verify their condition and tension if possible.

Water pooling on the fabric.

Adjust the arm angle to create a steeper slope (e.g., 30 or 55 degrees) to allow water to run off. Always retract the awning in heavy rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before installation. Ensure all components are present and follow the provided assembly instructions carefully. Professional installation is recommended to ensure secure mounting.

Compatibility:

Designed for mounting onto suitable wall structures. The lightweight aluminium construction reduces the load on the mounting surface, but it must be structurally sound enough to support the awning, especially in windy conditions. Ensure adequate space for the awning's projection when fully extended.

Care:

  • Regularly clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before retracting.
  • Periodically check the tension of the arms and the integrity of the mounting hardware.
  • Retract the awning during heavy rain, strong winds, or snowfall to prevent damage.
  • Wipe down the aluminium frame with a damp cloth to maintain its finish.
