This Folding Arm Awning was installed on a residential property in an apartment building. As it faces the ocean, it endures stronger winds, so required support poles to steady the awning. The awning was 5mtr wide x 3 mtr projection, and face fixed to provide shade on the balcony, so the support poles were the perfect solution to steady the folding arm awning when the off-shore winds came in. The support poles were 2.5 mtrs and they are easily attached to floor fixings and to the end bar of the awning, or removed if wanted.
