Manual retractable awnings (pull-out awnings) are an ideal and smart choice for providing shade and protection for cars, outdoor seating areas, or swimming pools. This type relies on a simple mechanical system using ropes or tracks for opening and closing without the need for a crank or motor.
Here are the specifications and features of manual retractable awnings:
Mechanism and Operation
Track System: The awning moves on durable side tracks made of iron or aluminum to ensure a straight and smooth path during retraction.
Pulling Method: The awning is opened and closed simply by a manual handle or a dedicated rope to smoothly pull the fabric through pulleys.
Safety Locks: Includes locking mechanisms at full extension to prevent the awning from moving due to strong winds.
Materials Used
Covering Fabric: High-density Korean or German PVC fabric (1100 grams weight) is used for complete waterproofing, or Australian polyethylene fabric resistant to the sun and allowing air circulation.
Support Structure: Made from high-thickness iron tubes resistant to sagging, coated with heat-resistant anti-rust paints.
