What material is the awning made of?

The awning is made from 100% polyester with a polyurethane (PU) coating.

Can I leave the awning extended in windy conditions?

No, the awning must be retracted if the wind speed exceeds 28 km/h to prevent damage.

Is the awning suitable for use in winter?

No, use in frost can damage the product. It should be retracted and stored safely during cold weather.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

How do I clean the awning fabric?

Clean the fabric with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

What should I do if the spring mechanism needs repair?

Due to the tension in the spring-loaded mechanism, repairs, modifications, or dismantling should only be carried out by a specialist.

Troubleshooting

Awning does not retract smoothly.

Check for any obstructions in the track or around the mechanism. Ensure the fabric is rolled evenly. If the issue persists, the spring-loaded mechanism may require professional attention.

Fabric seems loose or saggy.

Verify that the mounting posts are securely anchored and that the fabric is properly attached to the handle and the housing. Ensure the awning is within its operational wind limits.

Awning is difficult to extend.

Ensure the handle is correctly aligned with the post mechanism. Check for any binding or resistance points. If significant force is required, cease operation and inspect for damage or misalignment.

Water pooling on the fabric.

While water-resistant, the fabric is not entirely waterproof. Ensure the awning is installed with a slight pitch to allow water to run off. Retract the awning during heavy rain.
