Windhager Cannes awning 3 x 4 m, anthracite

Vacation feeling on your own patio Pleasant shade on patios, balconies and in the garden is becoming increasingly important as temperatures rise. Awnings are a practical solution for this. They are quick and easy to attach, inexpensive compared to a pergola or similar and can be removed again at any time. Once the anchors are in place, a sun sail in a different color can be tensioned at any time - for a completely new look. The broken colors also have the advantage that - in contrast to pure white, for example - they do not dazzle in extreme sunlight. Pleasant shade provided by awnings also has the advantage that no valuable space is lost as floor space, as with a parasol. And in winter, the sun canopy can simply be removed and stowed away to save space. Awnings are not only suitable for patios, they can also be used to create a great sun canopy on balconies, on lawns, over pools or sandpits. The only requirement: the sail must be able to be attached at 3 points. The coated polyester fabric is wind and water repellent and thus extends the living space in the warmer months with a cozy spot outside. UV protection 50+ provides a very high level of protection against harmful UV rays and is roughly equivalent to the protection factor of sun cream - perfect for enjoying the nice weather in safety. The reinforced seams are particularly important for a sun awning, as they ensure a firm hold - and that the sides do not tear even in windy conditions. How do I find the right awning? Various factors are important in finding the right awning for the area where you want to create shade. 1. the position of the sun: this varies greatly depending on the time of day and season. It is therefore essential that you observe the position of the sun beforehand and position the sail so that the shade meets your requirements at different sun positions. The rule here is: it is better to use a larger sail than the area to be shaded. 2. the size and shape of the sun sail should cover the area well - there are different sizes and shapes for this: triangular, square or rectangular. 3. remember that the awning should have a slope of at least 15° and use the lowest position as a starting point. Installation: The installation options for awnings are as varied as the gardens and patios on which they provide shade. The basic requirement is always that the awning is anchored at all corners. Anchoring elements such as sun sail poles, eyelets on the wall, eyebolts for posts, etc. are used for this purpose. The awning is hooked into the anchoring element with the help of connecting elements (rope, D-shackle, carabiner, tension anchor, expander rope, tension spring). It is important to consider the necessary slope of at least 15° from the outset and to attach the first fastenings high enough. The slope of 15° (approx. 15 cm per meter) ensures that the rain does not collect on the sail but can run off. Rain that collects on the sunsail not only makes the sail heavier and increases the total load on the fastening, but in extreme cases can also lead to deformation of the fabric, which cannot be remedied by tightening it again. With the correct fastening, awnings are very stable in windy conditions. Nevertheless, it is advisable to take the sail down during storms, thunderstorms, very heavy rain or storms.
