Full details
This vidaXL Retractable Side Awning in Grey is designed for homeowners looking to enhance privacy and create sheltered outdoor spaces on their terraces, patios, or balconies. Its key benefit is providing a quick and flexible solution against wind and low-lying sun. A potential caveat is that the maximum width of 6 meters may limit its use in very expansive areas. The awning features a UV and tear-resistant polyester fabric mounted on a sturdy steel base, with an easy-to-use retractable mechanism and automatic roll-back function.
