FAQs

What is the maximum projection of the awning?

The awning can be opened as much or as little as you like up to its maximum projection, which is determined by the arm length and angle.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

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

Can the awning be used in the rain?

While the awning can be tilted to help with rain runoff, it is primarily designed for sun protection. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may damage the fabric or mechanism.

How do I adjust the arm angle?

The arm angle can be adjusted between three preset positions: 15, 30, and 55 degrees. Specific adjustment instructions can be found in the assembly and operation manual.

What are the dimensions of the roller and front bar?

The awning features a 68mm diameter aluminum roller and a 44mm x 34mm aluminum front bar.

Does the awning come pre-assembled?

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

What material are the support arms made of?

The support arms are manufactured in forged aluminum.

Troubleshooting

Awning does not extend or retract smoothly.

Check for obstructions. Ensure the fabric is not snagged. Verify that the tension in the arm cables is adequate. Lubricate moving parts if necessary according to manufacturer guidelines.

Fabric is loose or wrinkled.

Adjust the arm angle to increase tension on the fabric. Ensure the roller and front bar are correctly aligned. Allow fabric to straighten under tension.

Awning makes noise during operation.

Inspect arm joints and roller mechanism for debris. Lightly lubricate moving parts. Ensure all assembly bolts are tightened securely.

Water pools on the fabric when extended.

Adjust the arm angle to a steeper pitch (e.g., 30 or 55 degrees) to encourage water runoff. Ensure the fabric is fully extended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This awning arrives flat-packed and requires assembly before installation. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow the provided assembly instructions carefully. Proper mounting to a sturdy wall structure is crucial for safety and performance. Consult a professional if you are unsure about wall mounting.

Compatibility:

Designed for mounting on suitable wall surfaces capable of supporting the awning's weight and operational forces. It is compatible with most standard patios and garden spaces. Ensure adequate clearance for the awning's projection when extended.

Care:

Keep the awning fabric clean by brushing off loose dirt and debris regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Allow the fabric to dry completely before retracting to prevent mold and mildew. Periodically check the tension cables and arm mechanisms for proper operation.
