What are the most common awning problems and how can I fix them?

Five frequent issues and solutions include:

1. Fabric wear or tears – Clean regularly, patch small tears with kits, or replace fabric if needed.
2. Water pooling – Ensure correct angle, retract awning in heavy rain.
3. Mold or mildew – Clean with vinegar or mildew cleaner and dry fully.
4. Frame damage or sagging – Inspect/support bolts; replace bent parts.
5. Sticking or motor issues on retractable awnings – Clean tracks, lubricate moving parts; seek professional help if jams continue.
