The third pole for your awning

If you have an awning with a length of 3 to 4.5 m, it is advisable to use a third pole. This pole provides additional stability and ensures that your awning remains secure even in strong winds.

But what is an extension pole anyway? An upright pole is a telescopic pole made of robust material, such as aluminum or steel. It is used to support the canopy of an awning and provide additional stability. The support pole is attached to one side of the awning and can be adjusted as required.

With an upright pole, you can adjust the inclination of the canopy and thus ensure that rainwater can drain away optimally. This prevents water from collecting on the canopy and threatening to collapse. The third pole also offers additional protection against strong gusts of wind by making the awning more stable and resistant.

The advantages of a third pole

Why should you get a third pole if your awning is 5 m or more in length? Well, one of the main advantages is that it is already included in the scope of delivery. So you don't need to buy an additional pole to set up your awning properly.

The third pole also offers improved stability in this case, especially for larger awnings. The longer your awning is, the more likely it is to be damaged in strong winds or heavy rain. With an upright pole, you can minimize the risk of damage and make your awning last longer.

The correct use of the installation pole

There are a few important things you should bear in mind if you want to use your pole correctly. First of all, you need to make sure that the pole is securely attached to the awning. Make sure that the brackets are correctly attached and that the pole is firmly locked in place.

The pole should be adjusted so that it is slightly inclined and provides optimum support for the awning. You can adjust the length of the pole to achieve the desired inclination. However, make sure that the pole is not overloaded, especially in strong winds.

If you want to store your awning when you pack it up, you should also remove the pole. This keeps the awning compact and makes it easier to stow away.

Overall, a third pole is a useful addition to your awning, especially for longer models. It provides additional stability, protection from wind and rain and helps your awning last longer. Make sure you attach and adjust the pole correctly to achieve the best possible results.
