House Awning Care Information:

1. There are a few points that you must take into account when you have purchased an awning from O Meara Camping.
2. For service or repair the awning must be returned to our Dublin shop as we do not have a fitting service.
3. When selecting a position for your awning, ensure that all the fixing points are structurally sound.
4. If you are unsure regarding the fitting of your awning to the chosen location please seek professional advice.
5. Check that the wall brackets fit the awning before mounting the brackets to the wall.
6. Mount the brackets to the wall in the required location and ensure that all the fixings are tightly secured.
7. Once you have mounted the awning onto the wall you can adjust the angle at which the horizontal material will project.
8. This is known as the pitch and can be adjusted by firstly loosening the bolts at the end of the arm where it mounts onto the square bar.
9. Then lift the front of the awning to the required height and tighten the bolts again.
10. The pitch of your awning should never be totally horizontal, allow a fall in the material so that the rain can run off the awning.
11. House awnings are sold as protection from the sun but also are used to keep water off as they are almost 100% waterproof.

A couple of golden rules that you must pay attention to when you have an awning.

1) In windy conditions your awning must be completely retracted.

2) If your awning is manual you must ensure that the awning is wound directly vertical from the gear box. This means that when mounting the awning you must ensure that the handle can be totally vertical when attached to the gearbox so that you can wind the awning in and out without straining the gearbox. Do not keep winding when the awning is closed or you will break either the gear box, the winder or the handle!

3) If your awning is remote control you must ensure that the remote is used with common sense. Do not allow the remote control "to be played with". Replacement motors are available.

4) If your awning is remote control it will have a manual over-ride which allows you to retract the awning in the case of a power failure. The awning is not designed to be used as a dual purpose awning so only use the manual aspect of the awning if the power fails. Do not over tighten by hand.

5) Keep naked flames and similar heat sources away from the awning. It will burn.!

Maintenance required with the awning

1) If the awning has been retracted and the material is wet, open the awning as soon as possible to allow the material to dry.

2) If the awning requires cleaning only use water and a fairly hard brush.

3) If any parts of the awning frame begin to become slightly marked or scraped. Use "Hammerite" hammered finish white metal protection paint on them and this will prolong the life of the awning frame.

4) Remove the Valance from "In housing" so that the Valance does not deteriorate while the protected material in the awning housing does not. The valance is the trim piece on the front and is simple to remove. When using this product please apply common sense.

There is an old saying "Common sense is a wonderful commodity" ................

Patio House awnings are fully retractable and are free standing. Patio awnings make a fantastic garden canopy, patio awning or traditional house awning.
