Beat The Summer Heat With A Sun Awning
The heat of summer can put a damper on anyone's day
. When it is scorching hot, spending time outside can be extremely uncomfortable and even dangerous considering that UV rays can cause skin cancer and heat stroke. This would be a good time to buy a sun awning, wouldn't you agree?Before going any further, you first need to find out what kind of sun awning you should purchase. Essentially, these things function to provide shade to an area such as a patio, deck, or garden. But your choice should depend on where you want to place it and for how long (temporary or permanent). Here are some options for you:
1.Retractable type. This type of sun awning is used in patios and decks, attached along the exterior wall of a house. You can get this in a variety of sizes and colors, and choose from either manual or motorized.
2.Side screen type. This type is used to provide shade, and at the same time, privacy to the homeowners and can be installed alongside a regular awning.
3.Free standing type. This awning can provide shade in your garden and is perfect for people who do not want to have a fixed awning in the area. Also, establishments use this to allow patrons to eat outside and enjoy the view even at midday. Schools also install it on their playgrounds as protection for kids playing outside.
4.Garden type. This is becoming an increasingly popular type of awning that comes in many styles and colors because homeowners are beginning to realize how important it is now to be protected from the harmful rays of the sun.
When you buy a sun awning online, see to it that you buy from a store that offers some kind of guarantee such as a 30-day return or a 5-year warranty on repairs. This is important because you will never know if what you purchased is good quality or not until you actually see it for yourself. Buying online is convenient and hassle-free but it is necessary for you to buy only from stores that can offer you protection in case the item is defective or if it is not what you are actually looking for.
Installation Procedure
If you have already purchased a sun awning and need help to install it, here are some instructions for you to follow:
First, lay the awning up against the area where you intend to put it. Mark the dimensions because this is where you will place the brackets. Make sure to line and level the brackets accurately otherwise the awning may not function properly. Once the brackets are set in place, fasten it with a bolt and a T nut as securely as possible and mount the awning roof.
Now explaining this may seem easy but in application, it can be a little complicated. You would need help from others particularly in lifting the awning and mounting it in place. If you are not very confident with the whole thing and if you do not have other people to help you, it is advisable to get an installation company to do it for you instead. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your awning and may have to spend more for repair or even replacement.
