Make your outdoor living area more comfortable with this grey 4.5m motorised awning, designed to provide adjustable shade over patios, decks, terraces and suitable outdoor entertaining spaces. Featuring a 4.5m x 2.5m retractable folding-arm design, a 300gsm polyester canopy and a powder-coated aluminium frame, it combines generous shade coverage with convenient electric operation.
Use the included remote control to extend or retract the canopy after correct installation and connection. Alternatively, the supplied hand crank provides a manual operating option according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Meanwhile, the neutral grey finish complements a variety of home exteriors and outdoor furniture styles.

- Water-resistant fabric: Offers resistance to light moisture during suitable weather conditions.
- Dirt- and dust-repellent surface: Assists with routine canopy maintenance.

Remote-Controlled Retractable Awning with Manual Operation
Adjust your outdoor shade conveniently with the included electric motor and remote control.
Once the awning has been correctly installed and connected to a suitable power supply, you can extend or retract the canopy using the remote.
For example, extend the shade over a patio dining arrangement during sunny afternoons. Afterwards, retract it when you prefer an open outdoor setting or when weather conditions become unsuitable.
The package also includes a hand crank for manual operation. However, the manufacturer has not specified whether this feature can be used during a power failure or how to switch between operating methods.
Always follow the supplied user manual when using either mechanism. The supplier specifies a 220V motor, so Australian electrical compliance and connection requirements must be confirmed before installation and use.
Wide Folding-Arm Canopy with Adjustable Shade Angles
The 4.5m x 2.5m folding-arm design offers a broad canopy for suitable outdoor seating, dining and entertaining areas.
Unlike a freestanding umbrella, this wall-mounted awning does not require a supporting pole or weighted base beneath the extended canopy. Consequently, it leaves the ground-level area available for compatible outdoor furniture arrangements.
The canopy also features adjustable angles, helping you adapt the shade to changing sunlight. However, the manufacturer has not specified the adjustment range or whether this function is manually operated.
Actual shade coverage depends on installation height, canopy angle, wall orientation and the position of the sun.
Before purchasing, measure the available wall space and check for sufficient clearance around windows, doors, gutters and other nearby structures.
300gsm Grey Polyester Canopy and Aluminium Frame
The grey canopy features 300gsm polyester fabric with supplier-stated UV-resistant, water-resistant and dirt- and dust-repellent properties.
These features make it useful for everyday outdoor shade during suitable weather conditions. However, the manufacturer has not supplied a tested waterproof classification or specific UPF rating.
Therefore, the awning should not be treated as a permanent waterproof shelter or relied upon for protection during storms or heavy rain.
Meanwhile, the powder-coated aluminium frame supports the retractable folding arms and fabric canopy. Its finish complements the neutral grey colour and suits a range of contemporary outdoor settings.
For routine maintenance, gently remove surface dirt and follow the manufacturer’s fabric-cleaning instructions. If the canopy becomes wet, allow it to dry when conditions permit before leaving it retracted for an extended period.
Professional Wall Installation and Electrical Safety
This motorised folding-arm awning requires secure mounting to a structurally suitable wall and a compatible electrical connection.
Wall mounting: The supplier states that the included fixings are intended for brick and concrete walls only. However, the supporting structure must also have sufficient capacity for the awning and the loads acting on its mounting points.
Professional installation: The manufacturer strongly recommends installation by a qualified builder. An appropriate professional should assess the wall construction, fixing method, bracket positions and required clearances before mounting.
Other wall types: Timber framing, hollow masonry, lightweight cladding and other construction methods may require specialised fixings or structural reinforcement.
Electrical requirements: The supplied motor has a stated operating voltage of 220V. Its compliance with applicable Australian electrical safety requirements, power connection method and suitability for the intended outdoor location must be confirmed before use. Any required fixed electrical wiring must be completed by an appropriately licensed electrician.
Dimensions: The supplier-listed 4.5m x 2.5m measurements include brackets. Confirm the actual mounting width, outward projection and fixing centres using the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Wind and weather safety: Retract the awning during windy conditions, storms, heavy rain and severe weather. Never leave the extended canopy unattended. No tested operating wind rating has been supplied.
Safe operation: Keep people and objects clear of moving arms. Never force the motor or hand crank if the mechanism becomes obstructed.
