Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can the awning be installed on grass?

The posts are designed for solid surfaces; installation on grass is not recommended without a concrete footing.

Is the fabric machine washable?

No, the fabric should be cleaned in place using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the maximum height of the screen?

The screen stands 160 cm tall.

Does it block rain completely?

The fabric is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not intended to be a waterproof roof structure.

Can I leave the awning extended during windy storms?

It is strongly recommended to retract the awning during high winds to prevent damage to the fabric and mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting

The screen does not retract fully

Check the housing for debris and ensure the fabric is wound evenly on the spool without folds.

The awning is sagging

Ensure the tensioning mechanism is locked correctly and that the posts are installed plumb (perfectly vertical).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile adjustable width up to 1000 cm
  • Effective UV and wind protection

  • Water-resistant fabric suitable for outdoor weather

Cons

  • Large footprint may not fit smaller balconies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves securing the two posts into a solid surface such as a concrete patio or a sturdy wooden deck. Ensure that the mounting surface is level to prevent binding during the roll-back process. Compatibility depends on having enough clearance for the housing unit and the opposing post. To maintain the awning, periodically wipe the fabric with a damp cloth to remove dust or pollen. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could strip the PU coating. During winter months or periods of extreme weather, keep the screen retracted inside the protective housing to maximize the lifespan of the fabric.
