Adjustable Shade for Patios, Decks and Courtyards
A retractable folding-arm awning lets you adjust overhead shade according to your needs and the weather.
This 3m x 2.5m model offers a practical size for suitable patio dining arrangements, garden seating areas and outdoor entertaining spaces.
For example, extend the canopy when direct sunlight becomes uncomfortable. Afterwards, retract it when you prefer an open outdoor setting or when conditions become unsuitable.
Unlike a freestanding umbrella, the wall-mounted design does not require a support pole or weighted base beneath the shaded area.
However, the actual shade coverage depends on the mounting height, canopy angle, wall orientation and position of the sun.
300gsm Polyester Canopy with UV and Water Resistance
The pearl grey canopy features polyester fabric with a supplier-stated weight of 300gsm.
The manufacturer describes the fabric as UV-resistant, water-resistant and dirt- and dust-repellent. As a result, the canopy offers a practical shade surface for everyday use in appropriate weather conditions.
However, the supplier has not provided a tested waterproof classification or UPF rating. Therefore, this awning should not be treated as a permanent waterproof roof or a substitute for other appropriate sun protection.
The pearl grey colour also pairs naturally with timber decking, rendered walls, brick exteriors and contemporary outdoor furniture.
For routine maintenance, remove surface dust gently and follow the manufacturer’s fabric-cleaning instructions. Allow the canopy to dry when conditions permit before leaving it retracted for extended periods.
Powder-Coated Aluminium Frame and Manual Hand Crank
The awning features a powder-coated aluminium frame with folding arms that support the polyester canopy.
When extended, the arms hold the shade away from the building. When retracted, they fold back towards the mounting wall.
Meanwhile, the included hand crank allows you to operate the canopy without a motor, batteries or an electrical connection.
To adjust the shade, operate the crank according to the manufacturer’s instructions and keep hands, clothing and other objects clear of moving components.
Never force the crank or folding arms if the mechanism becomes obstructed or difficult to move.
Professional Wall Installation and Safety Requirements
This folding-arm awning requires secure mounting to a structurally suitable wall using appropriate brackets and fixings.
Important: The manufacturer specifies that the supplied fixings are intended for brick and concrete walls only. However, wall condition and structural construction vary, so the supplied fixings may not be appropriate for every installation.
Professional installation: For safety reasons, the manufacturer strongly recommends using a qualified builder. A suitable professional should assess the supporting structure, mounting positions, fixing requirements and installation clearances before installation.
Other wall types: Timber framing, lightweight cladding, hollow masonry and other structures may require specialised fixings or structural reinforcement. Seek professional advice before mounting the awning.
Dimensions: The supplier-listed 3m x 2.5m dimensions include brackets. Confirm the exact mounting width, outward projection and fixing positions against the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Weather safety: Retract the canopy during windy conditions, storms, heavy rain and severe weather. Never leave the extended awning unattended. No tested operating wind rating has been supplied.
Do not hang plants, lighting or other additional loads from the folding arms unless the manufacturer specifically permits them.
