This retractable metal awning is a great value way of providing protection from both sunshine and summer showers, allowing you to enjoy your time in your garden. The overall size is approximately 3.0m (10ft) long and projects approximately 2.5m (8ft) from the wall. The supporting frame is durable white powder coated aluminium. The main supporting arms are stable 58mm x 28mm box section aluminium. Plastic side covers help give the awning a clean and elegant appearance. The awning requires no electricity. With chain drive and simple hand crank, it is easy to project the awning when needed and then retract it when not in use. The process typically takes less than a minute and operates smoothly and quietly. The crank handle is approximately 5' (1.5m) long. The awnings are bolted to the wall with two substantial brackets. The awning can be removed from the brackets for winter storage and cleaned easily using a damp sponge or cloth. All fixings and instructions are supplied for DIY self assembly.
