What is the recommended size for an awning?
Depending on your property, we normally recommend that your awning is at least 500mm wider on each side than the area you
wish to shade and with as deep a projection as possible. Popular awning sizes range from 2 x 2m to 4 x 2.5m. Larger and smaller
sizes can be made available.
What is the maximum and minimum size for an awning?
Awnings arms must be at least 500mm shorter than the awning width so that they can fit inside the awning when they are retracted
(for instance a 3.0m wide awning cannot have arms longer than 2.5m). Absolute min/max dimensions vary with awning range and
suitability. Remember fitting more than one awning will give maximum flexibility over large areas.
Can I fit the awning myself ?
Yes you can fit our sun awnings yourself, but please note, successfully fitting a sun awning is not as easy as it may first
appear and is not recommended for the inexperienced DIY person. You will need to be very sure of the wall that you are fitting
to, obviously have the correct tools, also the correct safety equipment. Assistance with adjusting, lifting and positioning
the considerable weight of the awning is required.
Where to fit the awning?
We can install your awning at virtually any point on your wall, but consider whether you will be able to walk underneath and
open any doors or windows when the awning is out. We normally recommend that your awning is fitted at least 2.5m high from
ground level and when extended the front of the awning should be approx 2m high, however this depends on specific requirements.
Are Sun awnings fabrics weatherproof?
Quality awning fabrics are highly weather resistant, but obviously cannot be literally weather proof. Irrespective of manufacture,
NO PATIO AWNING is designed to be left out in severe weather conditions.
