FAQs

Can I leave this awning out during a storm?

No, it is highly recommended to retract the awning during heavy winds or severe storms to prevent structural damage.

Does the remote require a specific range?

The remote should work within a standard proximity to the motor; ensure there are no major signal obstructions between the remote and the awning unit.

Is the fabric waterproof?

The fabric is weather-resistant thanks to the PU coating, but it is not intended as a waterproof cover for heavy rain.

Can the awning be installed on any wall?

It requires a sturdy mounting surface such as solid brick or concrete. Installing on siding or thin materials is not recommended without proper backing.

How do I clean the awning fabric?

Use a soft brush and a mild, soapy water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers which could damage the PU coating.

Troubleshooting

Awning does not respond to remote

Check the batteries in the remote control and ensure there is power reaching the motor unit.

Awning stops halfway during extension

Check for any physical obstructions in the arm mechanism and ensure the fabric is not caught.

Fabric appears loose or sagging

Adjust the tension settings on the arm mechanism according to the manual instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the vidaXL Electric Retractable Awning should be performed by at least two people due to the weight of the aluminium components. Ensure your mounting surface is structurally sound—brick, concrete, or solid wood beams are recommended. Always verify the orientation of the brackets to ensure the awning is level. For maintenance, clean the frame with a mild soap solution and wipe the fabric with a soft brush to remove surface dust. Never store the awning while wet; if it has been exposed to rain, leave it extended until it is completely dry to prevent mold growth on the fabric.
