Solid 5 metre x 2 metre retractable awning (cover roll and frame) for sale
Expressions of interest are invited on the above item, which will be taken down probably some time in the next 3-4 weeks.
It is difficult to gain a full perspective from the photos, because of its length and degree of extension, but the last pic doesn't show it at full extension.
I think that the framing is powder coated aluminium (not sure) but it is very solid and in excellent condition. It is hand wound in and out.
The cover has rotted out for about the last metre, but the rest of the .canvas-like fabric is in good condition. That leaves two options, 1. reduce the length of extension by cutting off the last metre or so and tucking and restitching the new edge, or 2. replace the fabric roll completely with a new product.
Only being sold because now being replaced by a PVC topped gazebo.
With a bit of imagination this could make an awesome addition to your home.
$99 firm, but buyer will need to collect from Panmure.
