Canopy awning VidaXL model 3216124, retractable rolled awning, anthracite-white, 3.5 x 2.5 m

The VidaXL retractable rolled awning, model 3216124, in anthracite and white with dimensions 3.5 x 2.5 m provides a practical shade solution for terraces, patios and outdoor seating areas. The fabric canopy rolls onto a tube and can be retracted when not in use, reducing exposure to wind and weather. Its compact design and neutral colour scheme suit residential exteriors and create a shaded outdoor zone for everyday use.

Advantages

This retractable rolled awning offers adjustable shade coverage and quick retraction for storage, helping to protect outdoor furniture and reduce sun exposure. The anthracite-and-white colour combination provides a low-profile aesthetic that integrates with many façade styles. The roll-up mechanism minimises the space occupied when the awning is stowed and simplifies seasonal or daily use.

Suitable for

• Shading terraces, balconies and patios up to roughly 3.5 x 2.5 m
• Providing sun protection for outdoor dining and seating areas
• Temporary light rain protection in residential outdoor spaces

When it may not be suitable

This awning is designed primarily for sun protection and light rain; it is not intended as a permanent shelter in heavy rain, strong winds or snow load conditions. For very exposed locations or commercial high-traffic installations, a heavy-duty or motorised awning with reinforced mounting may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Canopy type: retractable rolled awning
• Colour: anthracite and white
• Overall coverage area: approximately 3.5 x 2.5 metres
• Mounting style: wall or fascia mount (requires secure fixings)
• Retracting mechanism: manual roll-up tube

How to use

Secure the awning to a suitable load-bearing wall or fascia using appropriate fixings and follow mounting instructions for correct alignment and safe operation. Extend the canopy manually when shade is required and roll it back onto the tube when finished or before adverse weather. Regularly check fixings, fabric tension and the roll mechanism for wear; clean the fabric with mild soap and water and allow it to dry fully before rolling to avoid mildew.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the intended mounting area to ensure 3.5 x 2.5 m coverage fits without obstruction
• Confirm wall or fascia strength and suitable fixings for safe installation
• Decide whether manual retraction meets your convenience needs or if a motorised option is preferable
• Plan for storage and protection during high winds, heavy rain or winter months

Usage recommendations

For long service life: install on a solid surface, do not leave extended in strong winds or heavy precipitation, perform periodic inspections of hardware and fabric, and store the awning retracted when not in regular use.
