Remote-Controlled Outdoor Shade for Everyday Convenience
The motorised opening system is one of the main advantages of this retractable patio awning.
Instead of relying entirely on manual operation, you can extend or retract the canopy using the supplied remote control when the system is correctly installed and powered.
For example, extend the awning during a sunny afternoon to create a shaded seating area. Afterwards, retract the canopy when you prefer a more open outdoor setting.
The remote uses two AA batteries, which are included in the package.
Furthermore, the supplied manual hand crank provides an alternative method of operation. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for switching between motorised and manual control.
Electrical note: The manufacturer specifies a 220V motor. Electrical connection requirements, Australian compliance and the appropriate installation method must be confirmed before installation and use.
Compact Folding-Arm Design with Adjustable Canopy Angle
This 2m x 1.5m awning offers adjustable overhead shade for smaller outdoor areas where a wall-mounted structure is suitable.
When extended, the folding arms project the fabric canopy away from the supporting wall. Meanwhile, the arms fold towards the building as the awning retracts.
The design also includes adjustable canopy angles, allowing you to alter the position according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
As a result, you can adapt the shade arrangement to different outdoor activities and changing sunlight.
However, actual shade coverage depends on the installation height, canopy angle, wall orientation and position of the sun.
Grey 300gsm Polyester Canopy with UV Resistance
The grey canopy features 300gsm polyester fabric designed for outdoor shade applications.
The supplier describes the material as UV-resistant, water-resistant and dirt- and dust-repellent. Therefore, it provides a practical shading surface for ordinary outdoor use in suitable weather conditions.
However, no tested UPF rating or waterproof classification has been supplied. The awning should not be treated as a permanent waterproof shelter or a substitute for other appropriate sun protection.
The neutral grey finish also complements timber decking, contemporary exterior walls, brickwork and outdoor seating arrangements.
For routine maintenance, gently remove surface dirt and follow the manufacturer’s fabric-cleaning recommendations. Allow wet fabric to dry when conditions permit before leaving the canopy retracted for an extended period.
Powder-Coated Aluminium Frame and Folding Arms
The awning features a powder-coated aluminium frame that supports its retractable polyester canopy.
The folding-arm design allows the awning to extend over a suitable patio or courtyard without requiring a freestanding support pole beneath the outer edge.
In addition, the powder-coated finish provides a neat appearance that coordinates with the grey fabric.
Regularly inspect the supporting frame, folding joints, mounting brackets and other structural components for signs of looseness, wear or damage.
If the mechanism becomes obstructed or difficult to operate, stop using it and follow the manufacturer’s troubleshooting instructions. Never force the folding arms or motor.
Professional Installation and Electrical Safety
This motorised folding-arm awning requires secure wall mounting and an appropriate electrical connection.
Wall installation: The supplier states that the supplied fixings are intended for brick and concrete walls only. However, the supporting structure must also be suitable for the weight and forces created by the awning.
Professional mounting: The manufacturer strongly recommends installation by a qualified builder. The installer should assess the wall construction, mounting positions, fixing method and required clearances.
Other wall types: Timber framing, hollow masonry, lightweight cladding and other structures may require specialised fixings or structural reinforcement.
Electrical installation: The motor has a supplier-stated voltage of 220V. Before installation, confirm that the supplied electrical system is approved and suitable for use in Australia. Any electrical installation work must be performed by an appropriately licensed electrician.
Weather safety: Retract the canopy during windy conditions, storms, heavy rain and severe weather. Never leave the awning extended while unattended. The supplier has not specified a tested operating wind rating.
Additional safety: Keep hands, children and objects clear of the moving arms. Do not attach hanging plants, lighting or additional loads unless the manufacturer specifically permits them.
