Create a more comfortable and private outdoor space with this black retractable side awning, designed to provide additional screening for patios, decks, balconies, courtyards and backyard entertaining areas. Measuring 2m x 3m, this practical outdoor privacy screen combines 100% polyester fabric with a steel frame and a convenient automatic roll-back mechanism.
Extend the screen when you want to reduce low-angle sunlight or create a more secluded seating area. When screening is no longer required, the retractable design allows the fabric to return into its roller housing. Its black finish complements contemporary outdoor furniture and modern home exteriors.

Additional Privacy for Patios, Decks and Balconies
Enjoy a more secluded outdoor setting without installing a permanent solid partition.
This retractable side screen can help provide additional privacy between suitable outdoor seating areas, neighbouring spaces or exposed sections of a patio.
It is particularly useful where sunlight enters from a low angle, such as during certain mornings or late afternoons.
Extend the fabric across the required space when shade or privacy is needed. Afterwards, retract it to restore a more open outdoor layout.
The level of privacy depends on viewing angles, surrounding lighting and the installed position. Complete visual privacy is not guaranteed.
Automatic Roll-Back for Convenient Everyday Use
The awning features an automatic roll-back mechanism designed to return the extended fabric into its roller housing.
This makes the screen convenient for outdoor areas where permanent side screening is not always required.
The retracting mechanism is mechanical rather than electrically powered. No motor, remote control or electrical connection is specified for this product.
Always operate the screen according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep a firm hold of the screen handle when releasing it, and allow the fabric to retract in a controlled manner.
Do not release the screen suddenly or allow the retracting mechanism to pull it back uncontrolled. Keep hands and nearby objects clear of the moving components.
UV-Resistant Polyester Fabric and Steel Construction
The screen is made from 100% polyester fabric, which the supplier describes as UV-resistant and tear-resistant.
Its fabric surface helps reduce direct sunlight from the side while providing additional visual screening around your outdoor space.
However, the manufacturer has not supplied a tested UPF classification, UV-blocking percentage or waterproof rating.
The fabric should therefore not be treated as a waterproof outdoor wall or a substitute for other appropriate sun protection.
The steel frame supports the roller housing and fixing components. For everyday maintenance, clean the screen gently according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and inspect the structural components for damage or corrosion.
Professional Installation and Weather Safety
This retractable side awning requires assembly and secure installation to suitable supporting surfaces.
Professional installation recommended: The supplier advises that DIY installation is not recommended. A qualified installer should assess the intended location and ensure the roller housing, fixing bar and supporting surfaces are correctly secured.
Mounting requirements: Check the manufacturer’s instructions for compatible wall and floor surfaces, fixing positions and appropriate installation hardware.
Measurements: The awning is listed as 2m x 3m. Confirm the overall installation dimensions, required mounting space and maximum screen extension before purchasing.
Weather precautions: Retract and secure the screen during strong winds, heavy rain, storms and other severe weather conditions. No tested operating wind rating has been provided.
Safe operation: Do not allow children to play with the retracting mechanism. Avoid placing additional loads on the fabric, fixing bar or roller housing.
