Straight Drop Awnings

If you plan to use these awnings to improve the privacy of your alfresco area or if you want to block as much of the light as possible when they're closed, we recommend you choose from our extensive acrylic or canvas range.

You will receive many benefits by installing drop awnings, including extending the life of your outdoor furniture and furnishings by shading them from UV damage and fading; added privacy; better natural light control; reduced glare; less dust, pollen and insects; more efficiency from patio heaters; all-weather protection from wind and rain; and happier ferns and other delicate undercover plants.

Your Amaru awnings have been custom manufactured from the highest quality materials; whether you've selected Sunscreen Mesh, Acrylic, Canvas or PVC fabrics, they will provide many years of outstanding service if cared for properly.

Please Note: If you have chosen one of our motorised awning products, always ensure any electrical connections are isolated and switched off before cleaning.

• Always keep the awning taut when down to avoid pools of water gathering on the fabric. Prolonged water exposure can cause your awning to lose its mould and mildew resistant coating and leave stains or fading.
• Regularly inspect and clean the awning to keep it free of dirt, dust, grime, leaf-litter and bird droppings as these may cause stains and bacterial growth to develop if left unattended.
• Clean your awnings with a sponge, warm water and a mild non-abrasive soap. Always rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining suds. Never use scrubbing brushes or scourers on the fabric. We also recommend hosing down your awnings on hot sunny days to remove dirt and dust. Never use sugar soap, concentrated soaps, harsh detergents, industrial cleaning fluids or bleach as these will strip the fabric of any protective coatings and cause damage and discolouration of your awning.
• Keep insecticides, solvents, fuels and flames away from the awning.
• Occasionally fully extend, then retract the blind to maintain the awning mechanisms and even out the material, especially if you usually keep your blind in one position.
