Imagine your terrace bathed in perfect shade at the touch of a button. The Etna glides open smoothly, its durable acrylic fabric blocking harsh sun while letting just enough light through to keep things breezy. Rain or shine, the colors stay vibrant—no fading, no fuss.
Love hosting? The built-in LED lights set the mood as evening falls, while the sleek half-cassette design keeps mechanics out of sight. Remote or manual control means shade exactly when you want it. Sturdy aluminum and steel stand up to years of use, so you can lounge, laugh, and unwind without a second thought. This is outdoor living, simplified.
NB: *The hand crank is designed for emergency use only when the motor has no power.
Please do not use the hand crank frequently during daily operation, as this may disrupt the motor's programming.
When using the hand crank, stop cranking immediately once the awning is fully retracted. Forcing it further may cause damage to the motor and result in failure to reopen the awning.

Acrylic fabrics are renowned for their exceptional weather resistance and colorfastness, making them ideal for prolonged outdoor use. To maintain their optimal condition, please follow these care guidelines:
1. Regular Cleaning: Gently remove surface dust and debris using a soft-bristle brush or vacuum cleaner.
2. Cleaning: For minor stains, prepare a cleaning solution by mixing neutral soap with warm water at approximately 37°C. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently blot the stained area, working in a circular motion. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals to prevent fabric damage.
3. Rinsing and Drying: After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the pillow with clean water to remove any detergent residue. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing to prevent fabric deformation. Allow the pillow to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent potential fading.
4. Ironing: Do not use high-temperature ironing, as excessive heat can cause discoloration or damage to the fabric. If necessary, use a low-temperature setting and place a protective cloth between the iron and the pillow fabric.
5. Mold Prevention: Although acrylic fabric is inherently resistant to mildew, ensure pillows are completely dry before use or storage, especially in high-humidity environments, to further inhibit mold growth.
6. Storage Recommendations: When not in use, store pillows in a dry, cool place. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions to extend their lifespan.
By adhering to these care practices, your acrylic fabric outdoor throw pillows will maintain their aesthetic appeal and durability, enhancing the comfort and charm of your outdoor spaces.

Remote Control for Easy Use
Extend or retract your awning effortlessly with a remote. Add built-in LED lighting for a warm, inviting glow—perfect for evening relaxation or entertaining guests.
Heavy-Duty Frame for Lasting Strength
A thick, reinforced frame ensures superior stability and durability. Designed to withstand tough weather, it stays strong so you can enjoy worry-free shade.

Semi-Enclosed for Fabric Protection
The half cassette design shields the fabric when retracted, reducing exposure to rain and dirt. This keeps your awning looking fresh and lasting longer.
Fade-Resistant Acrylic Fabric
Made from 100% solution-dyed acrylic, the fabric resists fading, stains, and mildew. Enjoy vibrant colour and long-lasting performance, even in harsh sun.

Water-Repellent for All-Weather Use
Stay dry and protected with water-repellent acrylic fabric. Light rain won’t stop you from enjoying your outdoor space.
Automatic Wind & Sun Sensors (Optional)
Let your awning adjust itself with an optional wind and sun sensor. It retracts in strong winds and extends when the sun shines—so you stay protected without lifting a finger.
