How is an extendable arm awning made?

The arm awning is made up of a roller-blind roller (also called a winding tube) and two telescopic aluminum arms that unroll the fabric.

The arms can open fully or partially, offering graduated sun protection. The movement can be manual, by means of a rod that turns the winch, or motorized.

The arms of the tent

The quality of the awning arms is a very important aspect. The types of extendable arms depend on the transmission mechanics, ie the mechanism used to manage the “elbows” of the arms themselves.

Wind resistance class

Each model of outdoor awning is subjected to a "wind load resistance" test and, based on the results, is placed in one of the 3 CE classes:

1st class: resistance to a wind up to 28 km / h (shakes the branches of trees);
2nd class: resistance to a wind up to 38 km / h (moves small shrubs);
3rd class: resistance to a wind up to 49 km / h (able to move even large branches).

What are the limits of folding arm awnings?

The arm awning protects only from the sun's rays coming from above, unlike other types of awnings;
To cover large areas it is better to place several tents side by side than to choose a single very large tent;
This type of awning is unsuitable for exposure to extreme gusts because they can damage the arm joints.
