Key Features
-
50Nm Wisdar Motor for Powered Operation
Extend or retract the awning using the included remote control. The 50Nm motor operates the retractable mechanism, allowing convenient shade adjustment without manually winding the awning during normal powered use. -
Full Cassette Housing with Black Powder-Coated Finish
Designed to enclose the retracted awning fabric and mechanism, the full cassette provides a neat appearance against the building exterior. Its 6063 aluminium alloy casing features a neutral black powder-coated finish and provides added protection for the enclosed components when closed. -
280gsm Acrylic Fabric in Grey
Built with 280gsm acrylic fabric for outdoor shading, the canopy adds practical coverage to your entertaining space. Acrylic is valued for its colour retention and resistance to fading compared with many standard polyester fabrics, with routine care helping maintain its appearance. -
Remote Control with Manual Hand Crank Override
Switch between motorised operation and the included manual crank when electrical power is unavailable. This gives you an alternative way to operate the awning without relying solely on its powered mechanism. -
6061 Aluminium Folding Arms with Dual Tension Cables
Features 6061-grade aluminium folding arms supported by dual PVC-coated spring tension cables. The tension system helps maintain a taut fabric surface when the awning is extended, while the arms fold away during retraction. -
78mm Aluminium Roller Tube
A 78mm aluminium roller tube supports the fabric as it extends and retracts. Working with the folding arm mechanism, it allows the canopy to roll into the cassette housing when closed. -
5 x 3m Coverage for Patios, Decks and Balconies
Whether you're shading an outdoor dining table or a relaxed seating area, the 5x3m configuration provides an adjustable canopy for your chosen space. Check the actual width, projection and installation clearance before purchasing to ensure a suitable fit. -
Manufacturer-Specified Beaufort Force 5 Wind Performance
The manufacturer specifies wind performance to Beaufort Force 5, stated as up to 38km/h. This awning is primarily intended for shade rather than severe weather shelter; retract it during strong winds, storms and adverse conditions, following the manufacturer's operating instructions.

Installation Requirements
The manufacturer specifies a minimum installation height of 2.5m when the awning is fully extended, with a total drop of at least 60cm. Allow adequate clearance for the full projection, folding arm movement and surrounding structures.
Installation requires secure attachment to a suitable structural surface with appropriate mounting hardware. Assess the mounting surface, brackets and fixings before installation. Professional installation is recommended for correct positioning, alignment and operation.
Acrylic Fabric Care and Replacement
Keep the acrylic canopy clean according to the manufacturer's care instructions. Where practical, allow wet fabric to dry before leaving the awning retracted for an extended period.
Fabric replacement should be undertaken by a professional technician rather than treated as a simple DIY procedure.
Important Operating Information

Follow the manufacturer's installation, operation and maintenance instructions. Confirm that the selected size, available clearance and mounting structure suit your outdoor space before installation.
