LZQ 2.5 x 2 m Aluminium Awning, Dark Grey Polyester, Manual Crank
Product description
If you want shade over a balcony or patio, a fixed awning offers a different approach from a freestanding sunshade. This LZQ model measures 250 x 200 cm and uses a manually operated articulated-arm design. Its dark grey polyester canopy helps create a more comfortable shaded area outdoors. The hand crank lets you extend or retract the awning as needed.
How it fits
Designed for balconies, gardens, patios and wall projections, this awning provides overhead shade for outdoor seating or a sunny window. Its 250 cm projection gives the covered area a clear footprint, while the 200 cm size makes it a defined choice for smaller outdoor spaces. Use it to shade a spot where you sit, or to reduce direct sun entering through a window.
The aluminium frame and articulated arms support the canopy as it opens out from the wall. The tilt angle can be adjusted, so you can position the shade to suit the sun and the space below. It is intended for vertical wall mounting rather than installation on eaves. The hand crank is fitted at the front left and cannot be moved to the other side, so allow for that when planning where it will sit.
What you’ll notice day to day
The manual crank gives you direct control over the canopy: extend it when the seating area needs shade, then wind it back when you want the space open again. That makes it practical for changing conditions through the day without having to move a separate shade into position. The articulated arms open the fabric out from the wall, keeping the shaded area close to the building.
The dark grey polyester fabric has a PA coating and is described as waterproof. Its coating also helps repel dirt and dust, making it suited to regular outdoor use. A double steel cable guide within the arms adds support to the moving structure, with plastic coating on the cables intended to reduce wear. For a balcony or patio where floor space matters, a wall-mounted awning keeps the shade overhead rather than occupying the area with a freestanding base.
