WARNING
Consult a specialist, if there is any doubt on the
load carrying capacity of the installation site.
This awning is designed to withstand Beaufort force 5
wind speeds, which equals wind resistance class 2.
The combination of wall type and mounting material
used at your installation site might result in a lower
wind resistance class for your awning.
An installation specialist will be able to provide infor-
mation about the wind resistance class the awning can
withstand after the installation. The table below can
be used to identify different wind speeds by observing
tree movement:
