8 Common Outdoor Awnings Problems and Their
Solution
Outdoor Awnings are a beautiful way to add more
value to any property. They look beautiful and
also provide shade against direct sunlight
exposure, rain, and other types of
precipitations. Since they are outdoor
installations, they face a lot of challenges. In
this blog, we discussed 8 problems that outdoor
awnings experience.

Excessive exposure to the sun
Another very common problem that happens with
outdoor awnings is the damage caused due to
excessive exposure to the sun. The color of the
fabric can fade away and a layer of debris can
also form on it. While the fading of color is
permanent damage, you can do something about the
accumulated debris.
Fungus or Mold on Fabric
The fabric of the awning loses its functionality
and performance because of the fungus that can
form on the awning. This is unavoidable because
the awning is an outdoor installation and
weather takes its toll on it. Rain or excessive
moisture in the air can cause the formation of
fungus

The Outdoor Awnings can Sag
Some problems with Awning Patio Covers arise due
to installation issues. For example, if the shade
of the awning is too extended then the fabric
does not remain tight. It can develop a bulge or
simply it can sag. In case of rain or other such
events, the moisture accumulates in the sag.
5
Small Rips and Tears
Even though an outdoor awnings is not as costly
of an installation as aluminum fencing or
fountain, it does cost you. The cost of an
outdoor awnings is not negligible. In some
cases, the fabric of the awning can develop
tears or small rips. It would be unwise to get
the whole installation replaced due to a small
malfunctioning like this. Also, it is even more
unwise to let these fissures remain as they are.
Small tears can worsen and become huge tears
soon. This will require you to replace the
installation.

The Jammed Motor in the Retractable Outdoor
Awning
If you have installed a retractable outdoor
awning on your property, then there are other
challenges attached to it. For example, the
operating motor can get jammed over some time.
This can happen because of various reasons. For
example, the moisture in the air or rain can
penetrate the motor, or there can be
insufficient lubrication that can cause jam the
motor.

Bees and Insects Can Make their homes on Awning
Bees, wasps, spiders, and other insects can
start their dwelling on an outdoor awning. This
is not only harmful to the installation but also
poses a safety hazard. They can make a property
pretty uncomfortable to live in. People can
pretty scare of this kind of biological life on
a property.
Extreme climatic situations Another common proble
m
with experienced by those who have
outdoor awning is installed retractable
awning. At times debris can accumulate in the
tracks and clog them. This can prevent the
sunshade from extending or undoing smoothly. At
