are the retractable arms supposed to lock straight? The awning fabric stays loose it seems if not. thank you

It will support with an arm extend approx. 80% of a length. It work nicely and well for the price. The fabric is okay, over all it is good unit if you are looking to save $$$.

I only roll it out until the canvas is still half wrapped around the drum. The arms do not go al the way straight. Tends to flop a bit when fully extended. Tied a few support lines to the ends and that worked fine. Hope this helps...good luck.

You do need to have the arms attached and screwed into the wall, otherwise the awning will just hang straight down.

Hi Fred, there are two locking devices located directly under the armrests (the black plastic loops). Adjust those either both forward or both backward (opposite of the position they are currently in), work with it... this adjustment may stabilize the chair. I hope this helps.

It locks in place very well. I've had mine up for about 6 months hasn't fallen yet

No. You can twist them horizontally somewhat, but the only vertical movement is in the shades, not the arms.

Even if it's in the locked position it will recline if you really push, but you should do as suggested by other and turn the locking locking flanges to the unlocked position. This b rand of zero grav chair actually resists forward and back movement more than the original Lafuma chairs so once you're in a good position you sort of stay there, which I like. But yeah, hold the armrests, push with your back and the foot support raises as the back declines.

Do not over tighten. They are locking nots. If you keep turning they will strip. Just make then snug

No. There is no true locking position, however there is a point in which the legs will cease to pull out.

The drop is adjustable as others have stated. This is not an expensive awning, fabric is inexpensive and the hardware is lightweight. I can state that the fabric fades quickly, have had mine for less than six months and the portion that is exposed when rolled up is visibly different. Still a great value for the money. I have tapped the end of the awning tube and added arms for support. Would not trust this in a wind. I don't see this lasting 5 years, but if does, I'll be delighted. Just make sure you have a very sturdy attachement point. Good Luck.

I am a lot larger than that, and I have no problem with it. However, I left the arms off. If you do install the arms, they are adjustable to compensate for extra width.

I think the lamp is weighted well. When I extend the arm out fully with the second (upper) pole on the same side of the main (bottom) pole as the head of the lamp, it does lean slightly, but it's still secure. To prevent the slight lean, I use the lamp with the second (upper) pole on the opposite side of the main (bottom pole) from the head of the lamp - this is how it's shown in the listing image here on Amazon. Hope that makes sense.

No. There is a set screw that you can tighten down to adjust the tension of the arm (angle) and there is a locking pin to keep it in the up position.

They don't exactly lock into place. There is grooves they set in to keep them in place. I have not had problems with them moving so it seems to work for me.

The closed position stays closed but I wouldn't say they lock. Hope that helps.

It is adjustable as you open and close it. If I understand your question correctly, it does not lock to a certain width, but, rather, will retract as you need it.

Actually, this brace does lock into a straight position if you want. I personally found this one to be the best brace so far (I've gone through several). I did, however, slightly modify the straps to make them fit better; remove the neoprene sleeve because it's too hot and add some additional padding to the knee area for a tighter fit

It rolls in all the way. The roll is about 5 inches. When fully extended the awning is at a down angle. The 'arm that extends out folds inside when you roll the awning in. There is a metal crank to roll the awning in and out. It can be removed and stored separate or left attached.
