Create a more comfortable outdoor living space with this pearl grey 4m retractable awning, designed to provide adjustable shade for suitable patios, decks, terraces and outdoor entertaining areas. Combining a powder-coated aluminium frame with a 300gsm polyester canopy, this manual folding-arm awning offers practical sun shading with a modern, understated appearance.
Measuring 4m x 2.5m including brackets, the awning provides generous overhead coverage when extended. The included hand crank allows you to adjust the canopy without electrical power, while the pearl grey fabric complements contemporary and traditional Australian home exteriors.

Flexible Shade for Patios and Outdoor Entertaining
Make better use of your patio, verandah or outdoor seating area with a folding-arm awning that lets you adjust the amount of overhead shade.
Extend the canopy when the afternoon sun becomes uncomfortable, then retract it when you prefer a more open outdoor setting.
Unlike freestanding umbrellas, the wall-mounted folding-arm design does not require a support pole or weighted base within the shaded area.
The 4m width makes this model worth considering for larger outdoor openings, provided the supporting wall has sufficient structural capacity and suitable installation space.
Actual shaded coverage depends on the mounting height, canopy position, surrounding structures and the angle of sunlight.
300gsm Polyester Canopy with UV Resistance
The pearl grey canopy is made from polyester fabric described by the supplier as 300gsm, offering a practical surface for outdoor shading.
The material is also described as UV-resistant, water-resistant and dirt and dust-repellent, helping it suit everyday use in appropriate weather conditions.
However, no tested UPF classification, UV-blocking percentage or waterproof performance rating has been supplied.
The canopy should therefore not be relied upon as permanent waterproof roofing or as protection during heavy rain and storms.
Its pearl grey finish offers a versatile look that coordinates with neutral exterior colours, brickwork, timber and contemporary outdoor furniture.
Powder-Coated Aluminium Frame and Manual Crank
The retractable awning features a powder-coated aluminium frame with folding arms that support the extended canopy.
When shade is required, operate the supplied hand crank according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Afterwards, retract the canopy towards the wall when it is no longer needed.
This manual design requires no motor, remote control or electrical connection.
Always keep hands, clothing and nearby objects clear of moving components. If the crank or folding arms become obstructed, stop operating the awning rather than forcing the mechanism.
For routine maintenance, gently remove surface dirt, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and periodically inspect the frame, brackets and moving components.
Professional Installation and Important Weather Safety
This 4m folding-arm awning requires assembly and secure installation onto a structurally suitable supporting wall.
Professional installation: Installation by a qualified builder or experienced awning installer is strongly recommended. The installer should assess the supporting structure, fixing method, required clearances and suitability of the mounting hardware.
Wall brackets: A wall bracket set is included. Confirm that the supplied or selected fixings are suitable for your wall construction before installation. Different wall materials may require specialised fixings.
Measurements: The advertised 4m x 2.5m dimensions include brackets. Confirm the exact mounting width, canopy coverage, outward projection and fixing positions before purchasing.
Weather precautions: Retract and secure the awning during strong winds, storms, heavy rain and severe weather. No tested operating wind rating has been supplied.
Never hang plants, lighting or other additional loads from the folding arms or frame unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
If the canopy becomes wet, allow it to dry when suitable conditions return before leaving it retracted for an extended period.
