Helpful points about your Primrose awning installation
Here is a list to consider when planning your installation, these are as follows:

- All Primrose awnings are powered with the motor/manual winder on the left-hand side ( if you are facing the house).
On electric awnings (the 4-core motor cable) is approx.1m long. There is a separate 5m long 3-core black cable which will run from your wall switch/remote control box to the nearest plug socket/spur. - If there is any obstructions like waste pipes, gas/boiler flues (flues can be re-routed by a gas safe engineer) or outward opening bi-folding doors.
