Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal use for the 10' x 8' awning?
The 10' x 8' awning is perfect for compact outdoor spaces such as small patios, balconies, or apartment decks. It provides just enough shade to comfortably cover a table, chairs, or a cozy lounging area without overwhelming the space. This size is also ideal for urban homes where outdoor areas are limited in size.
How far does the 10' x 8' awning extend?
This awning extends 8 feet outward from the mounting surface, creating ample coverage for smaller spaces. The extension ensures that you can enjoy full shade even during peak sunlight hours, making it ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
Is this size easy to install?
Yes, the 10' x 8' awning is one of the easiest sizes to install due to its compact dimensions. The included hardware and step-by-step instructions are straightforward, and the smaller size requires fewer brackets, reducing the overall effort. Our Virtual Awning Concierge is available if you encounter challenges during the process.
Can I use the 10' x 8' awning in windy conditions?
While the awning is designed to handle light to moderate winds, it’s recommended to retract it during strong wind conditions to avoid potential damage. For added peace of mind, consider adding a wind sensor, which automatically retracts the awning when winds become too strong.
What colors and fabrics are available for this size?
The 10' x 8' awning is available in a range of UV-protected, fade-resistant fabric options, including neutral tones and bold colors. You can choose a style that complements your home’s exterior while enjoying long-lasting durability.
Can this awning be used on an RV or camper?
While primarily designed for residential use, the 10' x 8' awning’s compact size makes it compatible with certain RV or camper models. Ensure that the mounting surface is sturdy and that there’s enough clearance for proper extension.
How often should I clean my awning?
For optimal performance, we recommend cleaning your awning at least once every season, or as needed based on weather and environmental factors. Regular cleaning helps maintain the look and durability of the fabric.
