Control light, privacy and temperature in your home with Automatic Lock Arm Awnings.
The Automatic Lock Arm Awnings are very popular and well suited to the Sunshine Coast lifestyle and those long summer months.
The Automatic Lock Arm Awnings comprises roll-up fabric awnings that utilise spring tension to allow for ‘automatic’ movement up and down. Operation of the awning is achieved through a gentle push of the long bottom bar, which then uses the guide bars at the sides and spring tension to automatically roll up or down. The Automatic Lock Arm Awning range is best suited to ground floor windows, verandas and decks.

An additional option for premium look and function, the awning can be completely retracted into a colour coordinated weather box.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automatic Lock Arm Awnings on the Sunshine Coast
-
An auto awning refers to an automated or motorised awning system that is installed in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, or terraces. An awning is a type of roof-like cover that provides shade and protection from the sun and other weather elements. It typically consists of a fabric or material stretched over a frame and can be extended or retracted as needed.
An auto awning, as the name suggests, is designed to be operated automatically using an electric motor or remote control. With the push of a button or the activation of a sensor, the awning extends or retracts, providing shade when required and allowing for open space when not in use. This automated functionality offers convenience and ease of use for homeowners.
On the Sunshine Coast, where the weather can be hot and sunny, auto awnings are popular additions to outdoor living areas. They provide shade and protection from harmful UV rays, allowing residents to enjoy their outdoor spaces comfortably. Auto awnings are available in various sizes, designs, and materials, allowing you to choose an option that suits your preferences and complements your outdoor aesthetics.
-
As tempting as it may seem, it’s generally not recommended to sleep in an automatic lock arm awning. Automatic lock arm awnings are primarily designed to provide shade and protection from the sun and other weather elements in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, or terraces. They are not intended or designed to be used as sleeping accommodations.
Remember, sleeping on an awning can be dangerous and potentially lead to accidents or injuries to yourself or others. Awning structures are not designed to support the weight and movement associated with sleeping. They may not provide a stable or secure surface, and there is a risk of falling or the awning collapsing.
-
Automatic lock arm awnings are not typically designed to be fully waterproof. While they can provide some level of water resistance, they are primarily intended to provide shade and protection from the sun. The fabric used in automatic lock arm awnings is often treated with water-repellent coatings, which can help to some extent in repelling light rain or drizzle.
However, during heavy rainfall or prolonged exposure to water, there is a higher likelihood of water seeping through the fabric or accumulating on the awning surface. This can result in leaks or water pooling, potentially causing damage to the awning or the area underneath.
If you require a fully waterproof solution for your outdoor space, you might want to consider alternative options such as retractable waterproof awnings or pergolas with waterproof covers. These are specifically designed to provide a higher level of water resistance and protection from rain.

“Coverings Noosaville have taken their business to a new level. Its a fantastic experience to visit their showroom. Most Coverings Showrooms look like they have come from the mid century and are typically bleak and unimaginative. The products displayed are very appealing. Systems are app driven and sleek. Messaging and a smooth process is top class. Rate the team very highly“
