Four aluminum alloy arms and a polyester fabric canopy form a retractable patio awning that creates a spacious shaded area for balconies, patios, or storefronts. The manual crank handle lets you smoothly open or retract the canopy so you can control shade and airflow as light conditions change. An adjustable 40-100° inclination range allows you to tilt the awning to follow the sun and reduce glare. The waterproof, anti-fade fabric is designed to handle light rain and sun exposure for repeated outdoor use.
