Automatic Lock Arm Awnings Sunshine Coast

Control light, privacy and temperature in your home with Automatic Lock Arm Awnings.

Looking for a simple, effective way to control heat, glare and privacy? Our Automatic Lock Arm Awnings are a popular choice across the Sunshine Coast for external shading that is both practical and visually streamlined.

Designed for Australian conditions, these awnings use a manual, spring-operated system (not motorised), allowing you to easily adjust the height and angle throughout the day.

The side guide arms create an angled projection, providing shade while still allowing natural light and airflow into your home.

Ideal for ground-floor windows, patios, verandas and decks, Automatic Lock Arm Awnings are a reliable solution for improving comfort in your indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Automatic Lock Arm Awnings comprises roll-up fabric awnings that utilise spring tension to allow for ‘automatic’ movement up and down.

Operation of the awning is achieved through a gentle push of the long bottom bar, which then uses the guide bars at the sides and spring tension to automatically roll up or down.

The Automatic Lock Arm Awning range is best suited to ground floor windows, verandas and decks.

Streamlined and elegant, this external covering is designed to meld seamlessly with your home’s external style.

The automatic lock arm awnings’ acute projection ensures a snug fit to the window, while adjusting the shade to your desired height can be made by hand or with a pull stick simply and easily thanks to the self-locking arms along the guide bar.

An additional option for premium look and function, the awning can be completely retracted into a colour-coordinated weather box.

This not only protects your awning material from the elements when not in use, but ensures an immaculate and well-designed finish to the awning and your Sunshine Coast home.

Brennan and the team at Coverings did a superb and neat job of the new floor. Definitely would recommend and use again in future.

Jesse Stowers

These guys are fantastic! We had some very specific requirements and they surpassed our expectations at every step. Even when we’ve had minor ‘settling’ issues they’ve responded efficiently and effectively. Cannot recommend enough.

We dealt with Mel throughout the whole process & it was honestly refreshing to work with someone who genuinely enjoys what they do. Even when we had tricky questions, nothing ever felt like too much trouble. She helped us choose a great flooring option for our new home, sourced specific products we were after & showed excellent product knowledge throughout. The entire process felt easy with clear & consistent communication. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automatic Lock Arm Awnings on the Sunshine Coast

What is an auto awning?

An auto awning refers to an automated or motorised awning system that is installed in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, or terraces. An awning is a type of roof-like cover that provides shade and protection from the sun and other weather elements.

It typically consists of a fabric or material stretched over a frame and can be extended or retracted as needed.

An auto awning, as the name suggests, is designed to be operated automatically using an electric motor or remote control.

With the push of a button or the activation of a sensor, the awning extends or retracts, providing shade when required and allowing for open space when not in use.

This automated functionality offers convenience and ease of use for homeowners.

On the Sunshine Coast, where the weather can be hot and sunny, auto awnings are popular additions to outdoor living areas. They provide shade and protection from harmful UV rays, allowing residents to enjoy their outdoor spaces comfortably.

Auto awnings are available in various sizes, designs, and materials, allowing you to choose an option that suits your preferences and complements your outdoor aesthetics.

Can you sleep in an automatic lock arm awning?

As tempting as it may seem, it’s generally not recommended to sleep in an automatic lock arm awning.

Automatic lock arm awnings are primarily designed to provide shade and protection from the sun and other weather elements in outdoor spaces such as patios, decks, or terraces. They are not intended or designed to be used as sleeping accommodations.

Remember, sleeping on an awning can be dangerous and potentially lead to accidents or injuries to yourself or others. Awning structures are not designed to support the weight and movement associated with sleeping.

They may not provide a stable or secure surface, and there is a risk of falling or the awning collapsing.

Are automatic lock arm awnings waterproof?

Automatic lock arm awnings are not typically designed to be fully waterproof. While they can provide some level of water resistance, they are primarily intended to provide shade and protection from the sun.

The fabric used in automatic lock arm awnings is often treated with water-repellent coatings, which can help to some extent in repelling light rain or drizzle.

However, during heavy rainfall or prolonged exposure to water, there is a higher likelihood of water seeping through the fabric or accumulating on the awning surface.

This can result in leaks or water pooling, potentially causing damage to the awning or the area underneath.

If you require a fully waterproof solution for your outdoor space, you might want to consider alternative options such as retractable waterproof awnings or pergolas with waterproof covers.

These are specifically designed to provide a higher level of water resistance and protection from rain.
