Troubleshooting

Awning does not retract smoothly

Check that the fabric is not snagged on anything and that the retraction mechanism is free of debris. Ensure the post is stable.

Fabric seems loose or sagging

Verify that the mounting posts are securely fastened to the ground and wall. Ensure the fabric is properly attached to the roller.

Difficulty attaching/detaching handle

Ensure the handle post is correctly aligned with the awning mechanism. Check for any obstructions preventing a clean connection.

Water pooling on fabric

The awning is water-resistant, not waterproof. Ensure it has a slight downward tilt when extended to allow water to run off. Retract during heavy rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is required. The two support posts need to be securely fixed to the wall and ground using the provided mounting accessories. Ensure the chosen location can support the mounted posts firmly. The awning mechanism requires careful attachment and detachment of the handle from its post during operation.

Compatibility: This awning is designed for external use in buildings and construction works. It's suitable for balconies, terraces, gardens, porches, and backyards. While it can be used indoors as a temporary partition (e.g., in studios or dressing rooms), its primary design is for outdoor conditions.

Care: Clean the fabric with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Important: Do not operate or leave the awning deployed in frosty conditions, as this can cause permanent damage to the product. Ensure the awning is fully retracted during high winds or storms to prevent damage.
