Transform your balcony, patio, or outdoor space into a private, shaded retreat with this heavy-duty retractable side awning. Engineered for everyday outdoor use, it combines a robust iron frame with premium 180 g/m² polyester fabric to deliver lasting shade, wind buffering, and privacy — all with effortless one-hand operation.
Key Features
- Premium UV30+ Polyester Fabric: High-density 180 g/m² polyester with a resilient PU coating delivers waterproof performance and blocks harmful UV rays, keeping your outdoor area comfortable in sun or light rain.
- Generous 5.25 × 9.84 ft Coverage: The 160 × 300 cm screen creates a large, private zone ideal for balconies, patios, poolside areas, and commercial spaces.
- Sturdy Powder-Coated Iron Frame: High-strength iron poles feature a protective powder-coat finish that resists rust and corrosion for season-after-season durability.
- Innovative 2° Tilted Pole Design: Support poles lean outward at a 2° angle, adding height and preventing fabric sagging so the awning always looks neat and functions flawlessly.
- Spring-Assisted Retractable Handle: A smooth, spring-loaded handle lets you extend or retract the screen with a gentle pull — an anti-pinch mechanism makes daily operation safe for the whole family.
- Tool-Free Quick Installation: All mounting hardware is included (expansion screws, U-shaped wall brackets, hex wrench). No specialist tools or skills required — up and running in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the retractable side awning fully waterproof?
A: Yes. The 180 g/m² polyester fabric features a PU (polyurethane) coating that provides strong water resistance, effectively repelling light to moderate rain. For extended heavy downpours, we recommend retracting the screen to maximise its lifespan.
Q: Can I mount this awning on any wall surface?
A: The awning is designed to be wall-mounted using the included U-shaped iron brackets and metal expansion screws, which are suitable for concrete, brick, and solid masonry walls. For hollow or drywall surfaces, please consult a professional installer to ensure safe anchoring.
Q: How difficult is the installation process?
A: Installation is straightforward. All required hardware — expansion screws, expansion pipes, wall brackets, and a hex wrench — is included in the package. Most users complete setup in under 30 minutes without any specialist tools or prior experience.
Q: Does the awning hold up in windy conditions?
A: The powder-coated iron frame and 2° tilted pole design provide a stable, sag-free structure that handles light to moderate wind well. In severe wind or storms, we recommend retracting the screen to protect it and maintain longevity.
Q: What is the UPF/UV protection level of this screen?
A: The fabric carries a UPF 30+ rating, meaning it blocks the majority of ultraviolet rays to help keep the area beneath it cooler and shaded during outdoor use.
