Motorisation, Motion and Wind Sensors
All of our Fold Out Awnings can be motorised and operated with either a remote controller or smartphone. For extra peace of mind, however, we also recommend installing all of our Folding Arm Awnings with a Motion or Wind Sensor!
When the Folding Arm Awning starts moving up and down in the wind, the Motion Sensor will send a signal to the hardwired 240V motor to retract the Awning. Whether you’re relaxing indoors or away from home, there’s no need to panic about retracting the Awnings — the Motion Sensor will do it all for you.
The Motion Sensor’s sensitivity can also be adjusted if it’s retracting the Awning in gentle winds.
Adding a Motion Sensor to all of our Folding Arm Awnings is simple and affordable — contact us for more details!

FAQs about Folding Arm Awnings
Are they suitable for rain protection?
Folding Arm Awnings are not designed for rain protection. The build up of water on the fabric will put pressure on the arms underneath, risking the likelihood of damaging or destroying the system completely. Folding Arms are designed as a shade product only.
How much wind can they handle?
While Folding Arms are extremely robust and sturdy, wind can sometimes be it’s worst enemy. We recommend a maximum wind speed of 25-30km/hr, however to ensure safety of the product and its surroundings, always retract your Folding Arm Awning when you’re not using the space it’s protecting.
What is the difference between the 3 styles of Folding Arm Awnings available?
It’s all down to the cassette or protective hood cover. An Open Style Folding Arm doesn’t include any sort of cover, however there are options to add a cover to this style. The Semi Cassette includes a half cover which protects the fabric from the top and front, while a full cassette completely encloses the fabric and arms. Cassettes help to protect the fabric from wear and tear due to weather conditions while the awning is retracted (which will be most of the time) and also add a nice aesthetic or finish to the awning.
How are they installed?
This is all dependent on the space you’re wanting to have a Folding Arm installed to. They can be mounted on the face of a wall, under the eave, through the fascia (underneath the gutter) or on top of a roof. The most important thing is that there is a solid structure to fix the awning to as they are a heavy product.
