Shadetrack Awnings are designed to provide comfortable outdoor shade and light weather protection while enhancing the usability of your outdoor living area. When installed correctly and maintained in good condition, the system is suitable for operation in wind conditions up to Beaufort Force 5 (Fresh Breeze), equivalent to approximately 29–38 km/h.

At this wind speed, small trees begin to sway and loose leaves are in constant motion. If stronger winds, gusts, heavy rain, or storm conditions are forecast or experienced, the awning must be fully retracted immediately to minimise the risk of damage to the fabric, tracks, and supporting components.

Shadetrack Awnings are primarily designed as a shade product, not as a permanent weather barrier. While the fabric can provide protection from light rain when installed with the recommended pitch, water must always be able to drain freely. Never allow water to pool on the fabric, as this can place excessive loads on the system and may result in damage.

For the best performance and longest service life:

• Maximum operating wind rating: Beaufort Force 5 (Fresh Breeze) – 29–38 km/h
• Retract the awning during stronger winds, heavy rain, storms, or whenever the awning is unattended.
• Avoid rolling the awning away while the fabric is wet. If this is unavoidable, extend it as soon as possible to allow the fabric to dry completely.
• Regular cleaning and routine inspection will help maintain the appearance and performance of the awning.

Important: Weather conditions can change rapidly. Wind gusts can exceed the average wind speed and may cause damage even when average conditions appear acceptable. Always exercise caution and retract the awning whenever severe weather is expected.
