- In this video I show you how to open or setup an older style SunnSetter Awning.
(I couldn't find the model number of this awning. If anyone knows please tell me in the comments.)
Steps to Open a Manual Retractable Awning:
Ensure Safety:
Make sure the area around the awning is clear of obstacles and that it is safe to extend the awning.
1. Unlock the Awning:
Check for any locking mechanisms or latches that keep the awning secured when retracted. Release these locks or latches.
2. Pull Out the Awning:
Stand in front of the awning and grasp the pull strap or handle if your awning is equipped with one. The pull strap or handle is usually attached to the front bar of the awning.
If there is no pull strap, gently grab the front bar of the awning.
3. Extend the Awning:
Walk backward slowly while pulling the awning out. This will allow the arms to extend and the awning fabric to unroll.
Continue pulling until the awning is fully extended and the arms are fully deployed.
4. Secure the Awning:
Some manual awnings have support arms that need to be locked into place once the awning is extended. Ensure these arms are securely locked.
5. Adjust the Pitch (if applicable):
If your awning allows for pitch adjustment, adjust the angle to your desired position by loosening and tightening the appropriate knobs or bolts.

Commenting again to say how helpful this video is. No extra dialogue or time wasted, I appreciate it because I'm disabled and doing this alone can sometimes get tricky with the full extension!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment!
Super helpful! I just moved into a home with this model awning and didn’t know how to open until I saw this video!
Glad I could help! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the info. Do you have the installation manual for this model? We're looking at repositioning one on my folks house.
No, sorry
Hello, did you do a video on how to close it back up?
Yes th-cam.com/video/pDYU1zLYxko/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iYOMjj7YG8rgipGg
I have this awning, and I’m trying to replace the fabric but Sunsetter says it’s discontinued and the fabric cannot be replaced. Any ideas? The ends of the tube seem riveted shut where you would rotate them to slide the fabric in and out
Thanks
I’m sorry but we sold our house 3 years ago with the awning still in place.
I took a video of this awning to show the new owners how to setup and take it down.
We moved to Florida, so I can’t look at this awning to examine it.
I have this style awning!
Glad you like ti
I have the same Awning at a property we purchased, there is no strap to pull on it. I am unable to pull the bars out as you have shown, they don't give. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Sorry posted too soon, it worked out.
Sorry I didn’t reply sooner.
I have the same one. By any chance do you know the model number?
The model # is 4400. From one of the comments below.
Do you know how to replace the awning material? We have a spare awning and need to change it out, the awning has been here since before we lived here, so we have no book.
This awning is 20 years old and we just moved out of this house. I made this video for the new owners. I don't know how to change out the material. Sorry.
Very helpful. Looks a lot like the one I have Sunsetter model 40000
Glad it helped, Thanks for the comment!
This is a rv style awning
This was actually made to be installed on a house. It is 20 years old and one of SunSetters original awnings.
The model # is 4400
Thank you for letting me know.
