Troubleshooting
Awning does not extend or retract smoothly.
Check for any obstructions in the track or fabric roll. Ensure the handle is properly engaged. If resistance persists, inspect the internal mechanism for damage or misalignment.
Posts feel unstable after mounting.
Re-check the ground fixings and ensure they are tightened securely. Verify that the ground surface is firm and suitable for anchoring. Consider using additional anchoring methods if the surface is soft.
Fabric appears stretched or uneven.
Ensure the awning is fully extended and the tension is evenly distributed. If the issue persists, the internal spring mechanism might need adjustment or repair.
Water is pooling on the fabric.
While water-resistant, heavy prolonged rain can cause pooling if the fabric is not extended at a slight angle. Ensure proper tension and consider retracting during very heavy downpours.
