Straight Drop Crank Awnings
Straight Drop Crank Awnings are one of the most popular types of awnings for homes and businesses. They are easy to operate, affordable, and provide excellent protection from the sun and rain.
Straight Drop Crank Awnings are operated by a crank handle that is attached to a gear mechanism. The gear mechanism raises and lowers the awning arm, which extends or retracts the awning fabric.
