LUXAFLEX® Channel Roll Up Awnings incorporate side channels that are designed with indents, so the awning can easily be pulled down and locked into position. This option is suitable for enclosing a verandah or between posts on a patio to shade and shelter the outdoor living area. The Channel Awning assists in eliminating light gaps, providing complete UV coverage. The spring-loaded axle helps tighten the awning, keeping pressure on the bottom rail to hold the fabric in place.
