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.
