Product Information
Full details
The Tectake Extendable Side Awning is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to enhance their privacy and comfort on patios, balconies, or gardens. This durable 300 x 180 cm retractable screen provides an effective barrier against prying eyes, low-hanging sun, and wind, making your outdoor space more usable throughout the day. While it offers excellent protection and easy operation, users should note that it requires a permanent wall-mounted housing and floor-anchored post for installation, meaning it is not a portable or free-standing solution.

How long is the extension?
The awning extends up to a maximum length of 300 cm.
Is the fabric machine washable?
No, the fabric should be cleaned while in place using a mild soap, water, and a soft brush or cloth.
Can I install this on a balcony?
Yes, provided you have a solid wall for the housing and a secure floor surface for the end post.
Is the material UV resistant?
Yes, the fabric is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to degradation from standard sunlight exposure.
Troubleshooting
Awning fabric is sagging or loose
Check the tension of the internal spring mechanism and ensure the floor post is perfectly vertical.
Awning is difficult to retract
Check the tracks of the housing for debris or dirt. Clean the housing opening and ensure the fabric is rolling evenly.
The handle does not lock into the post
Ensure the floor post is securely bolted to the ground and that the locking hook is free from obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mount the steel housing bracket firmly to your exterior wall using appropriate masonry fixings.
- Determine the desired extension distance (up to 300 cm) and mark the spot for the floor post.
- Secure the post to the floor using provided or suitable heavy-duty ground anchors.
Compatibility:
The unit is best suited for concrete, stone, or wooden deck surfaces. Ensure the mounting wall is sturdy enough to support the weight of the steel cassette.
Care:
- Regularly wipe the steel housing with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Keep the fabric clean by brushing off loose dirt; if wet, allow it to dry fully before retracting it for long periods to prevent mildew.
- During winter or extreme weather, consider retracting the awning fully to protect the internal spring mechanism.
