FAQs
What are the dimensions of the awning?
The awning measures 100 cm in height and 1000 cm in width.
Is the awning suitable for heavy rain?
The awning is water-resistant and offers protection against light rain, but it is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall. It is best to retract it during heavy downpours.
Does the awning come pre-assembled?

What is the main material of the awning?

Can this awning be used indoors?

How do I clean the awning fabric?
Clean the fabric with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What does 'retractable' mean in this context?
It means the awning can be easily extended to create a screen and automatically rolled back into its housing when not needed by disengaging the handle from the post.
Troubleshooting
Awning does not retract smoothly.
Ensure the handle is correctly disengaged from the post and that there are no obstructions in the retraction path. Check if the fabric is evenly rolled.
Post feels unstable.
Verify that the mounting accessories are securely fastened to the ground. Ensure the ground surface is firm and suitable for anchoring.
Fabric shows signs of wear or damage.
Inspect for tears or punctures. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For significant damage, consider replacement.
Water pooling on the fabric during rain.
While water-resistant, the awning is not designed for heavy rain. Ensure a slight angle for drainage if possible, and retract during heavy downpours.
