Assembly: This retractable awning requires assembly and installation. All necessary hardware, manual crank handle, and detailed step-by-step instructions are included. Most users complete setup in 30-60 minutes with basic tools. Due to the size and weight, we recommend two people for installation to ensure proper mounting and alignment. The awning mounts to an exterior wall above the area you want to shade.
Care Instructions: Wipe wood components with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the natural wood finish. Keep wood away from prolonged direct moisture and direct sunlight to prevent fading and warping. Clean steel frame components with mild soap and water, drying immediately. Clean fabric regularly with mild soap and water solution to remove dirt, pollen, and debris. Use a soft brush for stubborn stains and rinse thoroughly. Allow fabric to dry completely before retracting to prevent mildew. Retract the awning during heavy rain, strong winds, or storms to prevent damage. During winter or extended periods of non-use, retract and consider covering for protection. Lubricate crank mechanism annually for smooth operation.
Maintenance Tips: Check mounting hardware periodically to ensure secure installation. Inspect fabric and wood for wear. Always retract during severe weather to extend lifespan.
