Comprehensive Guide To Selecting And Installing Folding Canopy

Folding canopy is a new outdoor space expansion scheme. Special curtain through the motor drive belt movement in the aluminum alloy track, so as to achieve the opening and closing of the curtain, so that users freely enjoy the fun of outdoor space, while providing the function of shading and rain, replacing the traditional fixed ceiling awning and sun room, redefine the solution of outdoor space.

Fabric Introduction

The imported fabric is made of Sauleda fabric from Spain. Sauleda fabric is a top brand of sunshade fabric in Europe, specializing in supporting outdoor products such as high-end building outdoor sunshades. The technical indicators of Sauleda fabric have passed the European ISO quality standards and Oeko-Tex environmental certification, making it a high-quality choice for fabrics used in various outdoor sunshade products.

Parameter:

Sunshade types

Inclined pull rod hoisting type

Lifting without columns, does not occupy ground space Do not damage the original landscape design Adjustable inclination

Wall support type

Double columns supported against the wall, extending continuously in space Suitable for high-rise terrace, outdoor restaurant, villa courtyard

Steel structure support hoisting

Suitable for large-scale outdoor dining, outdoor activity venues, and temporary construction of venues Space applications such as marketing exhibitions, press conferences, wedding banquets, factory building expansion, building rooms and corridors

Column supported type

Convenient installation, stable structure, and wind proof roller shutter, aluminum shutter, sliding door window, etc. can be installed around Suitable for villa courtyards, rooftops, terraces, outdoor swimming pools, outdoor dining, and other spaces

Measurement reminder

When ordering a folding canopy, customers need to provide four key dimensions: [front height], [rear height], [width], [protruding length], and [clear height]

"Front height" refers to the distance from the base to the top of the rail, and "Rear height" refers to the distance from the base to the top; [Clear height] is the height of the front column

[Extension Length] is the plane distance from the wall code to the front column, not the track length.

Product Advantage

1.material advantage

（1）Aluminum alloy structure

The product structure is 6063 aluminum alloy material Open molding, light weight High strength, corrosion resistance, longer service life; All structural profiles shall be widened and thickened Exceeding most peer standards in the industry

（2）Heavy PVC fabric

Fabric using heavy 850g/㎡ 3D drilled PVC fabric Wear resistance, folding resistance, durable, puncture resistance, high tensile strength, no fear of hard objects impact Double-sided with PEDF self-cleaning coating Stains do not remain, rain wash automatic cleaning High shading, heat insulation, waterproof and corrosion resistance, fabric flame retardant coefficient up to the European standard B1, in case of fire does not support

（3）Powder spraying

The profile surface is all used Polycrystalline diamond composite sheet (PDC), plastic, resin mixed high density powder spraying, Make the material surface no corrosion, maintenance free, safe and environmental protection Formaldehyde-free, acid-proof and alkali-proof for 20 years

（4）Hiddendrainage

The rain flowed through the curtain intothetrough There are rubber water retaining strips onbothsides of the guide rail Prevent rain from leaking frombothsidesRainwater flows through the trough intothecolumn drain hole Finally, it flows out fromthe bottomof thecolumn

（5）304 stainless steel

Hardware accessories and screws are selected 304 stainless steel High strength, corrosion resistance, good performance Durable

（6）Precision NC machining

All mechanical parts, profile opening processing are used Aluminum alloy CNC machine precision machining Precise size and easy assembly

（7）Reliable transmission structure

The transmission part uses custom high performance tubular motor Drive the integrated forming transmission gear, the use of high strength synchronous belt and closed silent bearing to match the movement, Smooth operation and low noise, The transmission parts have good wear resistance and low friction coefficient Corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, long service life

（8）Highstrengthsynchronousbelt

The synchronous belt is embeddedwithpolyurethane 14 high strength steel wires Smooth transmission, cushioning anddampingWear resistance and aging resistance, lownoiseand high intensity The operating temperature range canreach-20℃-80℃

2.Other advantages

Shade by day, light by night

The folding ceiling can be optionally equipped with a high brightness waterproof light belt, a flexible silicone wrapped light belt, waterproof and non electric leakage, and a 3000K high brightness energy-saving LED lamp,During the day, it can provide you with shade and rain protection, and at night, it can also provide you with light. You can enjoy outdoor leisure time anytime and anywhere

Installation precautions for sunshade awnings

1.Extension length

*The protruding length of the ceiling without column support is the distance from the wall yard to the front column. If there is no front column, it is also designed to be at theposition of the theoretical column. It is also important to note that the track will expand by 4-5 cm; *The extended length ≠ the complete length of the canopy. The actual length of the canopy is 4-5cm longer than the extended length. Attention should be paid when measuringthe installation position dimensions!

2.The drape length of the cur tain when retracting

When the pergola is retracted, the curtain will naturally sag by 19-22cm in length. During installation, it is important to reserve a position for the curtain to sag under thecrossbar. The installation height can be appropriately raised to prevent the curtain from blocking the opening of the door after the canopy is retracted, If there are no doors or windows below the canopy, they can be ignored.

3.Wall code size and calculation

When installing a wall support ceiling, it is necessary to measure, locate, and calculate the location of the wall code.

4.Minimum mounting position

Due to the fact that the gutter of the canopy is about 9cm wider than the total width of the canopy, it is important to note that when measuring the installation positiondimensions, at least 5cm of space should be reserved on both sides when ordering and reporting the width of the canopy. For example, the width of the installation location is 3000mm, and the ceiling width reported by the customer when ordering the ceiling should be ≤ 2910mm, or the dimensionsnoted are the installation location dimensions, not the ceiling dimensions.

5.Install windproof roller shutter

Installation plates and screws are installed on the water tank and column at the front of the ceiling. If it is necessary to install a windproof roller shutter inside the front of theceiling, a gap of about 9mm will be left at the top of the roller shutter, which can be ignored when using a formal installation method.

6.Water tank opening

Due to the variety of installation methods for the canopy and the variety of customized forms, the sink does not have a unified locationfor openingwhen it leaves the factory, but it will be provided with a hole drill. Customers can open holes in the sink according to their own needs.
