The SL Window awning is a manual extend/retract 
awning styled to match Carefree's Eclipse Patio 
Awning. 

Window awnings are available in 6 inch
increments from 3 feet to 7 feet and in 12 inch 
increments from 7 feet to 15 feet. 

Measure the width of the window, including the 
frame.  Add 6" for mounting brackets.  This is the 
minimum required width of the awning.  Use the 
awning length one increment above the minimum 
required width. 

Example:

  Window and frame measures 35” 

adding 6" equals 41".  The correct awning width 
would be 42”. 

Available in vinyl and acrylic fabrics.

The optional Carefree Uniguard® metal wrap system is available to protect the awning from inclement
weather conditions.

If Uniguard is installed, the awning requires 2.5" clearance below any projections above the window awning
(i.e. window awning is mounted below a patio awning).

An XL model is available for windows with 36" or more height.
