Color options may vary according to awning model

DROP-DOWN VALANCE

The sunset solution. 

This upgrade can add impressive sun control to your awning. Enjoying yourself on the deck usually happens while you are seated. Depending on the position of the sun, and the time of day, this can mean you are back in the sun. Adding this Drop- Down Valance is the solution, especially for due west exposures.

THE CRISS- CROSS

Why a Criss-Cross Arm Awning?

If your mounting space is narrow, yet deep, and you want to optimize shade coverage, you can use our Criss-Cross awning frame. This innovative frame, has offset shoulder heights allowing one awning arm to fold under its companion arm. This results in an awning projection which is greater than its width. 

 

ROOF MOUNT

Have low head room, or low ceilings? 

Consider the roof mount option. We take great care when designing roof mount solutions. Our adjustable pitch roof brackets anchor to your roof structure with stainless steel hardware. Carefully installed to prevent any water leakage.

Retractable Awning Components

Retractable-Awning-Front-Bar-Attachment.jpg
Retractable-Awning-Protective-Hood-.jpg

Elbow Joint

Shoulder Joint

Front Bar Attachment

Protective Hood Cover

The Retractable Awning Elbow is a critical system component for keeping the fabric taught and evenly tensioned. The elbow also connects the upper and lower sections of the arms together and houses the cable or strap system to ensure constant pressure against the fabric as it pushes away from the axle.

The Shoulder Joint is the component responsible for holding your retractable awning when in the fully extended position. Some shoulder joints are adjustable with a “hook and eye” system that can be manually adjusted, at any time, by the end user. Others are adjustable only by certified technicians.

The Front Bar Attachment is the connection between the awning arm and the awning front bar. This connection is preset from the factory to ensure full extension of retractable awnings while maintaining precision alignment of the fabric. This ensures the awning fabric rolls up smoothly every time.

The Protective Hood Cover is only needed for “Open Roll” awnings and is elegantly designed to reduce wear and tear of the retractable awning while it is in the fully closed position. This component will provide UV protection for the fabric and weather protection for all other components.
