Introduction

The rugged spring-loaded Solera®Classic extends and retracts

in just a few easy steps. Simply release the travel locks on each

arm, loosen the rafter knobs, use the pull cane to unlock the

roller, then hook the pull strap and walk it out to unroll the awning.

Once extended, set the tension, tighten rafter knobs and raise

the awning arms to whatever pitch you want for shade and water

runoff. You can also detach the arms from the bottom bracket and

rotate them to a vertical “carport” position. This carport position

makes it easy to attach Solera accessories like the Screen Room

and Solera Family Room™

Quick Facts

• Standard 8’ projection

• Classic brackets align perfectly with bracket holes of most

brands of manual awnings

• Arms detach from bottom bracket and easily swing to “carport”

position
