FAQs
What material is the balcony screen made from?
The screen is made from 100% polyester oxford with a PU coating.
Is the screen suitable for strong winds?
The screen offers wind resistance, but it must be securely fastened to prevent damage in very strong winds. Proper tension and secure anchor points are crucial.
How is the screen attached?
It attaches using the included aluminium eyelets and a 24-meter rope, which you thread through the eyelets and secure to a stable structure.
What are the dimensions of the screen?
The screen measures 700 cm in width and 120 cm in depth (or height when installed vertically).
Can I cut the screen to a smaller size?
While it's possible to cut the screen, doing so may compromise the edges and the integrity of the eyelets, potentially reducing its durability and effectiveness. It is recommended to use it at its full dimensions.
Is the screen completely waterproof?
The screen is water-resistant due to its PU coating, meaning it repels most water. However, it is not fully waterproof and may absorb water with prolonged heavy exposure.
What is the weight of the screen?
The screen weighs 1.9 kg.
Troubleshooting
Screen is not taut
Ensure the rope is threaded through all eyelets and pulled tightly. Check that the attachment points on the structure are secure and do not allow the screen to sag.
Minor tears or damage to eyelets
For small tears near eyelets, consider using a strong waterproof tape or fabric patch to reinforce the area. If eyelets are severely damaged, replacement may be necessary using appropriate hardware.
Screen remains wet after rain
While water-resistant, prolonged exposure to heavy rain can saturate the fabric. Ensure the screen is installed with a slight angle to allow water runoff. Allow ample time for complete air drying before storing.
Color fading
While UV-protective, extreme prolonged sun exposure can cause some fading. Periodically clean the screen and consider taking it down during the harshest peak sun hours if longevity is a primary concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Use the provided 24-meter rope to thread through the eyelets and secure the screen tautly to your support structure. Ensure attachment points are stable and can withstand moderate tension.

Care:
To maintain the screen's condition:
- Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grime.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the PU coating and fabric.
- Store the screen rolled or folded in a dry place during harsh weather conditions or off-season to prolong its lifespan.
