Wire Guide
Awnings

Wire guide awnings are outdoor shading systems that use stainless steel cables or wires to guide the movement of the awning. These wires are attached to the bottom rail of the awning and run vertically along the sides, keeping the awning in place and allowing for controlled extension and retraction.

The benefits of wire guide awnings include their sleek and modern design, versatility in controlling sunlight and shade and ease of operation. They also provide stability in windy conditions due to the secure wire guidance.

While wire guide awnings offer a range of benefits, they provide less protection against insects and are not fully sealed, meaning light gaps will be present. Additionally, there may be more fabric movement during windy conditions, so keep that in mind when selecting the right option for your space.

Some steps to keep in mind when cleaning your wire guide awning:

1. Start by brushing off any loose dirt or debris.

2. Use a mild soap or detergent mixed with water to clean the fabric gently.

3. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the fabric.

4. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry completely before retracting.

The lifespan of wire guide awnings can vary depending on factors like the quality of materials, frequency of use and exposure to weather conditions. On average, well-maintained wire guide awnings can last anywhere from 7 to 15 years. Regular inspections and proper care can extend their lifespan.

We recommend retracting the awning during extremely windy or adverse weather conditions to ensure its longevity and prevent any potential harm. While the Betta 7000 Wire Guide Awnings are designed to provide stability in moderate wind, strong gusts can put excessive stress on the awning and its components, potentially leading to damage.

It's generally not advisable to leave your wire guide awning down in windy conditions, so if you anticipate strong winds, it's a good practice to retract the awning and secure it properly to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the fabric and the supporting wires.
