Tips For Choosing A Retractable Awning For Your Garden

Have you lost your outdoor living space due to inclement weather? Will you have an outdoor living space with a retractable awning? Here is advice from a professional retractable awning supplier, adding a retractable awning to your home or business is a wise investment. Having your own retractable awning will allow you to enjoy a cooler, drier outdoor space that is protected from the strong and harmful UV rays.

Application Scenarios - Manual vs. Motorized

For outdoor retractable awnings, the most common types are manual awnings and motorized awnings.

Manual Awning

Manual awnings are usually lighter and are used to shade smaller areas such as restaurants, cafes or windows. The size of the shade is adjusted by turning it with an awning crank. For lighter awnings with smaller areas, adjustments can be made easily. When the width of the awning exceeds 50 cm (20 inches), a motorized awning is recommended, as adjusting an oversized awning with a hand crank can be a bit tedious.

Motorized Awning

Many people choose manually operated retractable awnings, while others prefer electric motors. While traditional retractable awnings are manually operated, today's motorized awnings are much more convenient and simple, and you can also customize the arms with integrated led lights so that you can enjoy your outdoor life whenever you want. Just press the remote control and your awning will deploy. Press another button and your awning will turn on its lights. To prevent accidental power loss, the IMMER motorized awning will be equipped with a manual override motor on the retractable awning. If the motorized retractor is accidentally turned off and for some reason, the power goes out, the awning can still be operated by the equipped manual crank and manual override motor.
