Warranty Disclaimer

Outdoor blinds and folding arm awnings are designed to provide shade and comfort, but their wind resistance varies depending on size, projection, mounting height, and the environment, for example coastal, exposed, or sheltered areas.

As a general rule, larger blinds and awnings handle less wind than smaller units. The greater the fabric span or projection, the lower the safe wind tolerance.

To protect your investment and ensure warranty coverage:

• Always retract blinds and awnings during storms, strong winds, or when away from home.
• Products should not be left extended in wind conditions that cause visible strain, for example fabric pulling, frames flexing, or rattling.
• Each installation is unique. It is the client’s responsibility to assess local conditions and retract products before damage can occur. MIY Outdoor accepts no responsibility for damage caused by wind exposure beyond reasonable conditions for the size and environment of the product.
