Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean and maintain my awning?
Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your awning. Most fabrics can be hosed down with water and gently scrubbed with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure hoses, especially on waterproof coatings. Let the fabric dry fully before retracting it to prevent mildew. It's also wise to check frames, bolts, and brackets periodically for wear or rust. If you notice sagging or stiffness, contact a professional for servicing or repairs.
What is the best type of awning for patios or decks?
Retractable options like folding arm or Ziptrak awnings are popular for patios and decks. They provide flexible coverage, allowing you to enjoy full sun or full shade as needed. Folding arm awnings are excellent for large, open spaces without vertical supports, while Ziptrak systems offer more enclosed protection, ideal for wind and rain. The best choice depends on your layout, how often you use the space, and whether you want the option to open up the area fully.
How much does it cost to install an awning?
The cost of installing an awning varies based on the size, style, fabric, operation method and installation requirements. Smaller manual awnings might start from a few hundred dollars, while larger, motorised systems can run into the thousands. Customisation, automation, and premium materials will increase the cost. Installation complexity, such as mounting height or access challenges, can also impact pricing. It’s always best to get a tailored quote based on your exact needs and site conditions.
