Important Operating and Cautionary Information: Please keep in mind that all awnings are designed primarily for sun protection. They are not designed to withstand high winds or more than light rain – especially on shallow pitch installations where rain may collect on the fabric. During those times, the awning must be fully retracted to prevent damage not covered by the warranty. While virtually no maintenance is required, you may wish to wipe the frame and fabric periodically using a soft cloth with plain water or mild soap and reseal with water repellent. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Discover The Benefits...

Reduce Your Energy Costs Up To 25%

According to the Professional Awning Manufacturers Association, awnings can reduce air conditioning costs by as much as 25 percent. In addition, a 2007 study conducted by the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota revealed that homeowners with retractable awnings achieve the lowest energy use by retracting the awnings in cooler months and extending them during warmer months.

Beauty In DesignThe SunShade Retractable Awning by Gutter Helmet® is designed and engineered with frame components that are compact, mechanically invisible and aesthetically appealing. SunShade Retractable Awning

frames have a durable electrostatic baked-on powder-coated white finish that is up to four times thicker than paint. The color-coordinated caps on all nuts and bolts and mounting hardware complete the distinctive finishing touches to the SunShade Retractable Awning.

Adjustable TiltThe Adjustable Tilt shoulder offers easy slope adjustment with a hand crank, adjusting from 0 degrees to a full 40 degree arm pitch. The Tilt shoulder option is a great solution for low sun problems.

Optional HoodThe optional hood is a one-piece design, offering considerable strength. The front of the hood curves downward toward the front bar to provide protection for the fabric and frame when retracted.

Quality Materials The Sunshade Retractable Awning by Gutter Helmet® is designed with quality as the primary focus, eliminating the inconvenience of manually

installing and removing pins, upright poles or other braces.

Key design features and benefits include:

Shoulder & Torsion Bar: The arm shoulder is attached to the unique torsion/mounting bar, keeping the awning arms set rigidly at the proper pitch.

Manual Gears: Complete with automatic stop to allow quick, effortless operation and prevent overextension or reverse winding of the fabric.

PVC-Covered Arm Cables: Blend with the frame color to eliminate salt, sand or moisture corrosion.

Front Bar: Stronger front bar to provide stability and maintain the fabric’s tension while presenting a contoured and compact appearance.

Frame Components: Nuts and bolts are made from the finest corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

Fabric Roller Tube: The fabric roller tube is made of the same special material as the torsion/mounting bar. This allows the roller tube to torque under stress and return to its original shape.

Arms: Bend occurs at the elbow to maintain constant fabric tension.

Wireless MotorBecause the SunShade Retractable Awning by Gutter Helmet® offers a wireless motor option that uses any standard electrical outlet, there is no need for expensive rewiring in order to enjoy the ease of remote control. Our heavy duty motor is located inside the fabric roller tube, and can be switch-operated or remote controlled. Manual override motors, which are a gear/motor combination, are also available to allow manual operation of the awning during power outages.
