The wrinkling (golfballing) effect on acrylic awning fabric as in the picture here is quite normal and happens on all brands of retractable awnings. It results from the fact there are two layers of fabric on each seam thus doubling the thickness at those points. When it rolls, the diameter increases faster at the those points causing a rippling effect. It will look less evident as the fabric softens over time but will always be there and will not affect the operation or performance of your awning. |

Why drop forgings
All NuImage awnings feature arms with super strong, drop forged components. The models G150, G250, and K300 have the added strength of a drop forged shoulder assembly for maximum durability. These models received high ratings for wind loads in stringent European CE testing. |

 Drop forging is a metal shaping process in which a heated work piece is formed by rapid closing of a punch and die forcing the work piece to conform to a die cavity. A work piece may be forged by a series of punch and die operations (or by several cavities in the same die) to gradually change its shape. Drop forging is also called impression die or closed die forging, or rot forging. The advantage of forging is that it improves the strength of the metal by aligning and stretching the grain structure. A forged part will normally be stronger than a casting or a machined piece.
