The Sundial Patio Awning offers the home owner an awning system that provides as much or as little 
awning as required.  The canopy is housed in an aluminum case available in white, sand and brown.  The 
canopy is made from Sunbrella® acrylic fabric. 
Each unit is equipped with Sundial lateral support arms that are the strongest available on the market.  No 
vertical arms interfere with walls or equipment that may be mounted on the walls.  These arms can also be 
adjusted to vary the canopy pitch up to 3 feet (it is strongly recommended that service and adjustments be 
performed by trained technicians).  The unit is available in lengths from 12 feet to 22 feet.  The awning 
extends to a maximum of 10 feet from the side wall.  An optional 12 foot extension may be ordered for 
awning lengths of 19'6" to 22'. 
Two control systems are available: a single hard wired wall switch or the power control system.  The hard 
wired wall switch provides basic operation. 

The power control system provides the home owner several options that are not available with the standard 
hard wired installation.  These options include remote controls; wireless wall switches for interior installation 
and the wind-sense auto retract for protection against adverse wind conditions.  The power control system 
can also be programmed so that up to a maximum of 4 awnings can be controlled by a single transmitter
