Eclipse Retractable Awning Questions & Answers
Can The Eclipse awning be manual or motorized?
Yes, depending on the configuration. Selected open-roller and hood configurations offer manual operation; the semi-cassette configuration requires motorized operation.
How does The Eclipse differ from Solar Eclipse?
They are different models with different housing, arm and sizing options. We can compare the available configurations for your space and budget rather than assuming one model suits every patio.
What determines the awning size I need?
The area you want to shade, sun direction, mounting position and clearance all matter. We measure the space and confirm the available width and projection during planning.
Can an awning be mounted to my house?
The mounting surface and supporting structure need to be evaluated first. We will explain suitable mounting options and any preparation required for your property.
How should I care for the fabric awning?
Follow the supplied cleaning and operating instructions. Clear debris, allow cleaned fabric to dry before retracting when practical, and retract the awning before strong winds or heavy rain.
How do I compare cost and warranty coverage?
