Yes. We recommend using our Hood to help protect the fabric and frame from most weather elements.
Just close it and leave it on your home all winter long. Our fabric has been designed to withstand the weather year-round. If your awning is not protected by an overhang, we recommend protecting it with a hood or soft cover.
Your awning is designed to protect you while you are enjoying the outdoors. You should retract it when not in use. It is not recommended to leave it open under high winds.
And for greater safety, a wind sensor is included with all our awnings, which helps protect your investment under weather stress.
Your awning will keep your deck or patio cooler, the temperature difference can reach up to 11° C. It will also prevent the sun from shining through your doors and windows, which will lower your need for air conditioning and protect your furniture and flooring from harmful UV rays.
Installation & Technical Questions
Yes, you can download instructions and tools needed.
All products presented here are offered online because they are easy to install. Our price does not include installation and we supply detailed installation guides.
It is recommended to use a knowledgeable helper if you are installing on your own. If you need a professional installer, we can help you identify such a contractor.

Acacia Awnings offer wall mounting brackets and ceiling/soffit mounting brackets. The Mimosa awning comes with both the wall and the ceiling/soffit brackets. You can therefore mount the Mimosa on walls, under overhangs, etc. If you order a Bellini custom-made awning you select the bracket type you need, and the brackets come included with your awning.
No, as the hardware must fit your specific wall, soffit, ceiling, surface and structure. For wood structure we recommend for example 3/8” x 5 1/8” GRK Fasteners RSS™ RUGGED STRUCTURAL SCREW from your local hardware store.
For brick and concrete surfaces, special anchors can be purchased at your local hardware store.
The wind sensor should always be installed on the same side as the motor. Detach the sensor from the mounting plate by sliding it sideways. Now remove the endcap of the front bar and slide the plastic channel nuts into the slot. Use the supplied screws to attach the mounting plate to the front bar and slide back the sensor. Be cautious, it only goes in one way.
To set the wind level and to change batteries please read the Wind Sensor Guide.
In most cases, there will be no need to install an electrical outlet to plug in your awning. All these products work with normal 110 volts outlets, which are installed according to the building code.
For a motorized awning, the length of the electrical cord is fifteen feet (15’) long and it must be plug into a GFI outlet.
The factory pitch of the awning is set to a slope of 15°. During your installation, you can readjust the pitch of the awning with a few simple steps if desired.
If your awning is not perfectly straight you can adjust the pitch on one side to straighten it. To adjust the pitch angle, loosen the 2 shoulder bracket bolts (19 mm wrench) of the arm and modify the tilt to your liking with a 6 mm Allen key. To raise it turn the set screw clockwise and to lower it counterclockwise. To reduce the tension on the adjustment screw, lift the arm a bit and/or retract the awning by 50%. Don’t forget to tighten the 19 mm shoulder bolts.
Yes, we have mounting brackets specially designed to fit each of these situations such as our soffit brackets and wall brackets.
Yes, our awnings and other shade products are not only for residential use but are quite often used on commercial locations as well, such as restaurants outdoor dining areas, hotels, theme parks and shopping malls.
