Short answer: Motorized awnings can be used in windy locations when the model, installation, and control settings match the site conditions. Automatic retraction does not make an awning suitable for use in every storm.
How Wind Protection Is Managed
- Select a suitable model and mounting system
- Set the wind sensor according to the installation instructions
- Retract the awning before severe weather
- Check brackets and moving components regularly
What to Confirm
Ask for the rated wind condition, whether the rating applies when open or retracted, and how the sensor is calibrated. Do not treat a closed-system wind rating as permission to leave the awning open.
