Barcelona

Available in 90 or 155. Fabric rolls from upper side of the barrel. Can be made with a clear PVC window. Patio Awning with side arms so that when the fabric is extended the arms are in the 90 degree or 155degree angle to the top of the awning. The arms are spring loaded to hold the arms in the open position so that the fabric is under tension. Offset arms are provided so that if the awning is narrower than the opening the arms will still be able to attach to the front rail, up to a maximum of 80mm on each side. Fabric approx 110mm (gear) or 100mm (motor) smaller that overall width. Roller Support needed when width is wider than 4800mm. Can be motorised with either fixed position switch or remote control operation. 

Installation: Top, side or face fix. Fit the bracket that accommodates the round pin first with M8 Rawl bolts or similar. Attach the gearbox with the bracket for the square pin, and then lift up the awning into the bracket already fitted. Level the awning and mark the position of the unfitted bracket (allowing for 5mm play). Drill and attach remaining bracket. Detach the gearbox from the bracket, and slide onto the square pin end cap. Slide the round pin end into the bracket, and lower the gearbox into the other bracket and tighten cap screw. Offer the arms to awning (arm should not go above the roller tube), and mark the holes to be drilled. Drill holes ant install arms with M8 rawl blots or similar making sure the pin is to the under side of the arm. Attach the arm to the front rail, and remove the pin from the arm (to activate the spring mechanism).
