Windhager Cannes 10711 Triangular Awning 3 x 3 m Isosceles, Sun Protection for Garden and Patio, UV and Weather Resistant, Grey

Holiday feeling on your own terrace Soothing shade on the terrace, balcony and in the garden is becoming increasingly important as temperatures rise. A practical solution for this are awnings. They are quick and easy to attach, compared to a pergola or similar cost effective and can be removed at any time. Once the anchors are attached, you can stretch a shade in a different colour at any time for a completely new look. The broken colours also have the advantage that they - unlike e.g. B. Pure white - do not glare in extreme sunlight. Pleasant shade thanks to the awning also has the advantage that no precious space is lost as a footprint, as with a parasol. And in winter, the sun canopy can be easily removed and stowed away to save space. Awnings are not only suitable for patios, but also on the balcony, on the meadow, above the pool or the sandpit, you can conjure up a great sun canopy. Only requirement: the sail must be attached to 3 points. The coated polyester fabric (180 g/m²) of the CANNES awning is wind and water-repellent and thus extends the living space in the warmer months with a cosy place outside. The UV protection 50+ stands for a very high level of protection against harmful UV radiation and corresponds approximately to the sun cream protection factor - perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather in safety. The reinforced hems are particularly important for a sun sail, because they ensure a firm hold - and ensure that the sides do not tear even in windy conditions. How do I find the right shade sail? In order to find the right shade sail for the area where you want to create shade, various factors are important. 1. Sun position: this varies greatly from the day and season. Therefore, be sure to observe the course of the sun beforehand and attach the sail so that the shade meets your wishes in different sun positions. Here: take the sail larger than the area to be shaded. 2. Size and shape of the shade sail should cover the area well - there are different sizes and shapes: triangular, square or rectangular. 3. Keep in mind that the awning should have a slope of at least 15° and take the lowest installation as a starting point. Attachment: The installation options of the awning are as diverse as the gardens and terraces where they provide shade. The basic requirement is always that the awning is anchored at all corners. Anchoring elements such as Sun sail pole, holding eyelet on the wall, eyelet screw for posts etc. With the help of connecting elements (rope, D-shackle, carabiner, tension anchor, expander rope, tension spring), the awning is hung in the anchoring element. It is important to think of the necessary gradient from the outset and attach the first fixings high enough. The gradient of 15° (approx. 15 cm per metre) ensures that the rain does not collect on the sail, but can drain off. Rain that accumulates on the awning not only makes the sail heavier and increases the total load on the attachment, but can also lead to deformation of the fabric in extreme cases, which cannot be remedied even by re-tensioning, firmer tensioning. With the correct attachment, sun sails are very wind-resistant. Nevertheless, it is recommended to remove the sail in storms, thunderstorms, very heavy rain or storms.
