Specifications

Your SeaShell Awning is proudly designed and manufactured in Australia. The unique design is covered by a world-wide patent and is made from the highest quality materials.

Wind Strength Certification

The 180 degree awnings, in both 3 metre, 4 metre and 5 metre radius sizes, have been certified for installation on all sites with a wind classification of up to W50 (ie in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4055-1992, “Wind Loads for Housing”, a classification of N4 in Regions A and B or C2 in Regions C and D). W50 signifies sites that can experience wind gusts of up to 50 metres per second or 180 kilometres per hour. The Seashell Awning may also be installed on sites with a wind classification of up to W70 (wind gusts of up to 70 metres per second), subject to assessment by a qualified structural engineer to determine if there are any additional special requirements. It can be expected that the 90 degree awning will exhibit similar if not stronger characteristics, whilst the 270 degree or custom awnings whilst very strong may need to be assessed individually if installed in particularly exposed areas.

Self Retraction

Each SeaShell Awning uses MagnaLOC™ technology, which enables the Seashell Awning to self retract when wind speeds reach approximately 65 kilometres per hour or 35 knots. This will vary depending upon the wind direction relative to the awning orientation. This protects your awning from damaging winds without the need for you to do anything.

• Frame constructed from dependable lightweight and corrosive resistant 6106 T-6 structural aluminum;
