You can lock the awning in any intermediate position along the side rails, giving you complete control over the amount of shade or sunlight you want at any time of day.

Are Auto Arm Lock Awnings child and pet safe?

In most cases, yes. Shadeview can assess your current windows or awnings and recommend whether Auto Arm Lock Awnings can be fitted to your property with minimal modifications.

While primarily designed for shade and privacy, Auto Arm Lock Awnings do offer an additional physical barrier that can deter casual intruders from easily accessing windows.

With proper care, Shadeview’s Auto Arm Lock Awnings can last 10 years or more in coastal environments, thanks to corrosion-resistant materials and UV-stabilised fabrics.
