Awning (manual retractable), VidaXL, model 3330151, red, 300 x 250 cm

The VidaXL manual retractable awning (300 x 250 cm) in red provides adjustable shade for terraces, patios and windows. Designed for residential outdoor use, this awning uses a hand-crank mechanism to extend and retract the fabric, allowing precise control of sun protection and coverage. The compact cassette and fabric roll keep the cloth protected when retracted, helping to prolong fabric life and maintain a tidy appearance on facades and outdoor living areas.

Advantages

This manual awning delivers practical, on-demand shade without the need for electricity. The hand-crank operation is straightforward and reliable, enabling smooth extension and retraction. The colored fabric offers UV protection and reduces sunlight and heat while maintaining visible outdoor views. The cassette design protects the fabric from weather and dirt when not in use, and the size provides ample coverage for small to medium terraces and window areas.

Suitable for

• Providing shade over a small to medium terrace or patio (up to approx. 300 x 250 cm)
• Reducing direct sunlight through windows to protect interiors and lower heat gain
• Residential outdoor areas where simple, manual control is preferred
• Homes or holiday properties where occasional adjustable sun protection is needed

When it may not be suitable

This awning is manually operated and therefore may not be ideal where automated or remote control is required. It is sized for small to medium areas and may not provide sufficient coverage for large terraces or commercial spaces. Installation on very exposed or windy locations may require additional reinforcement or a different model designed for high-wind conditions.

Key specifications

• Coverage dimensions: approximately 300 x 250 cm
• Operation: manual hand-crank retractable mechanism
• Mounting type: wall-mounted cassette awning design for exterior facades
• Fabric color: red
• Intended use: residential outdoor shade for terraces, patios and windows

How to use

Mount the awning securely to a suitable load-bearing wall following the supplied installation instructions and using appropriate fixings for your wall material. Use the hand crank to extend the fabric to the desired length; stop when the required shade or angle is reached. To retract, turn the crank in the opposite direction until the fabric rolls back into the cassette and is fully protected. Regularly check and tighten mountings, clean the fabric as recommended, and retract the awning during strong winds or storms to avoid damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the intended mounting location to ensure the awning coverage (300 x 250 cm) fits the space
• Confirm wall strength and choose appropriate fixings for masonry, brick, or wood mounting surfaces
• Decide if manual operation meets your needs or if an electrically operated awning is preferable
• Consider local weather exposure; plan to retract the awning during high winds or heavy rain

Usage recommendations

Retract the awning during strong winds and heavy precipitation. Periodically clean the fabric with a soft brush and mild soap solution, and lubricate moving parts if recommended by the manufacturer. Check mounting bolts annually to ensure safe and stable installation.
