Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do wind sensors work on awnings?

    Wind sensors are small devices mounted near your awning that detect wind speed. When gusts reach a preset threshold, the sensor triggers the motor to retract the awning automatically, protecting it from being damaged. These sensors are especially useful if you're not always home to monitor the weather. They’re often paired with remote-controlled or smart-home systems for full automation. While not essential, wind sensors offer peace of mind, particularly in areas with frequent strong breezes or sudden storms.

  • Can I use my awning during rain?

    Light to moderate rain is usually fine for awnings with a proper pitch and waterproof fabric, such as PVC. However, flat or poorly angled awnings can pool water, which risks sagging or tearing the fabric. For heavy rain, retractable awnings should be pulled back to avoid water build-up. If you live in an area with frequent rain, discuss options like steeper pitch designs, side channels, or waterproof coatings with your installer to help maximise usability and longevity.

  • What’s the difference between Ziptrak and Folding Arm awnings?

    Ziptrak awnings are track-guided systems that move vertically, which is ideal for enclosing patios or creating wind and privacy barriers. They can use mesh or PVC and lock into place at any height. Folding Arm awnings extend horizontally and are perfect for open shading over decks, courtyards or cafés. They retract completely when not in use and don’t require vertical posts, maintaining an open feel. Each serves a different purpose—Ziptrak offers enclosure and protection, while Folding Arm provides flexible, retractable overhead shade.
