VEVOR Side Awning

The awning is designed for wall mounting, but the surface must be sturdy enough to support the tension of the retractable mechanism. It works best on solid surfaces like concrete, brick, or wood studs; you may need specific anchors depending on your wall material.

It operates manually using a spring-loaded system. You simply pull the handle to extend the screen to your desired length and hook it into the mounting post, then release it to retract it back into the housing when not in use.

The 280g polyester fabric is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and drizzle without soaking through. However, it is not designed to be fully waterproof or to withstand heavy, sustained downpours.

It serves both purposes. With a height of 63 inches, it creates a solid visual barrier for privacy and offers UV 30+ protection to block direct sunlight, though it is primarily designed as a side screen rather than an overhead canopy.

It is recommended to retract the awning during high winds or storms. While the aluminum frame is sturdy, the large surface area of the fabric can catch the wind and potentially damage the mounting points or the internal spring mechanism.

The installation is straightforward and requires basic tools like a drill, level, and screwdriver. You will need to mount the main housing to one wall and the receiving post to either another wall or a flat surface, ensuring both are aligned for proper tension.
