Adjustable Shade for Patios, Decks and Outdoor Living
Make the most of your outdoor space with a retractable awning that provides flexible shade throughout the day.
Extend the canopy above a suitable seating area to help reduce direct sunlight during warmer weather. When additional shade is no longer required, use the hand crank to retract the awning and enjoy a more open outlook.
The folding-arm mechanism supports the canopy away from the wall without requiring permanent front support posts.
Actual shade coverage depends on the installation height, angle of sunlight, surrounding structures and degree of extension.
300gsm Polyester Canopy with UV and Water Resistance
The awning features a polyester canopy described by the supplier as having a fabric weight of 300gsm, providing a practical material for everyday outdoor shading.
The fabric is also described as UV-resistant, water-resistant and dirt- and dust-repellent.
These properties help make it suitable for use during ordinary weather conditions. However, no tested UPF classification, UV-blocking percentage or waterproof rating has been provided.
The canopy should not be relied upon as permanent waterproof roofing or as protection during heavy rain, storms or severe weather.
For ongoing care, remove loose dirt gently and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations. If the canopy becomes wet, allow it to dry when conditions permit before leaving it retracted for extended periods.
Manual Hand Crank and Aluminium Folding Arms
The powder-coated aluminium frame supports the retractable canopy and folding-arm mechanism.
A hand crank is included for straightforward manual extension and retraction. No electric motor, remote control or electrical connection is required.
Operate the mechanism smoothly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep fingers, clothing and nearby objects clear of moving parts, and never force the mechanism if it becomes obstructed.
Periodically inspect the frame, folding arms, mounting brackets and fixings for signs of looseness, damage or unusual wear.
Professional Installation and Weather Safety
This folding-arm awning requires assembly and secure mounting to a structurally suitable supporting wall.
IMPORTANT – SUPPLIED WALL FIXINGS: The supplied fixings are intended for brick and concrete walls only. Other wall constructions require suitable alternative fixings selected for the supporting structure.
Professional installation: For safety, the supplier strongly recommends installation by a qualified builder. The installer should assess the wall structure, fixing positions, required clearances and suitability of the mounting hardware.
Measurements: The advertised 3m x 2.5m dimensions include brackets. Confirm the actual canopy coverage, projection and mounting positions against the manufacturer’s installation instructions before purchasing.
Weather precautions: Retract and secure the awning during strong winds, heavy rain, storms and severe weather. No tested operating wind rating has been supplied. Do not leave the awning extended and unattended.
Do not hang flowerpots, lights or other additional loads from the folding arms or supporting frame unless explicitly approved by the manufacturer.
