What material is the awning fabric made of?

The fabric is made of 100% polyester with a PU coating.

Is the awning waterproof?

The fabric has a PU coating which makes it water and dirt repellent, suitable for light rain, but it is not designed as a permanent waterproof cover.

How do I adjust the angle and height?

The angle and height can be adjusted using the manual crank and potentially other adjustment mechanisms as detailed in the assembly instructions. Specific adjustments depend on the model's design.

Can this awning be used in windy conditions?

It is recommended to retract the awning during strong winds to prevent damage. The manual advises keeping children away and securing the awning properly.

What is the color of the frame?

The frame color is white.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

The product description does not specify if mounting hardware is included. Always refer to the included parts list in the manual and ensure you have appropriate hardware for your specific mounting surface.

Troubleshooting

Awning is difficult to extend or retract

Check for obstructions along the track or fabric. Ensure the crank mechanism is clean and free of debris. Verify that the awning is correctly aligned and not binding.

Awning does not stay in the extended position

This may indicate an issue with the locking mechanism. Consult the assembly manual for troubleshooting steps related to the locking system or seek professional assistance.

Fabric appears stretched or uneven

Slight unevenness can occur. Ensure the awning is fully extended and the tensioning arms are properly engaged. If the issue persists, check the frame's alignment.

Frame makes squeaking noises

Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the frame and the crank mechanism. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure the mounting surface is strong and stable enough to support the awning, as improper installation can lead to instability or damage. Keep children away from the assembly area and supervise them if present.

Compatibility: This awning is designed for outdoor use and should be mounted to a suitable wall or existing structure that can bear its weight and the forces exerted during operation and in wind. Consult a professional if you are unsure about your mounting surface's suitability.

Care: The fabric is water and dirt repellent. To clean, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the PU coating or fabric fibers. Ensure the awning is fully retracted during strong winds, heavy rain, or when not in use for extended periods to prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.
