MCombo Retractable Awning | Follow-up...It's Been 2 Years
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a two-year follow-up of the MCombo awning and sharing some additional insight as to why you leave the hinges on the tension bar loose at first. Ok, I'll tell you...it helps with alignment of the fabric when retracting.

You can adjust the arms on the front bar in a way that it will retract completely. Get the awning out by roughly 1 foot and loosen the arm on the front bar and slide it so it ie even with the other one. Both elbows should be center ftont bar to square bar. Might take a couple of tries

It also eliminate that issue with the Fabric moving around. I would pull the fabric in the right spot and then adjust
Professional awning installer here. Your front bar connections are misaligned. To correct this bring the awning approx 90% of the way in, loosen both front bar connections (not too far), adjust the position of the front bar centering it on the awning. With the front bar connections still loose, retract the awning all the way, then retighten the front bar connectors.
Based on what I see you should have no rain build up issues. I need to tilt my awning because it's so level that rain stays in the center and sags the awning under it's weight. I'm taking the evenness out of mine tomorrow! Even if it's out 2 feet it will collect a sizeable amount of sag under the weight of the rain water.

We still have some rain build up if we have it out, but because it's slightly slanted to one side you are correct that it runs off.
I am thinking of purchasing one of these so I have a question. I see your soffit area is sloped,but if it was flat, how much room is required from the bottom of the brackets to the top of the fabric roll when retracted for installation? I have some height restrictions and can’t seem to find those dimensions, only length and projection.

Mine measures in at 7” from the bottom of the bracket to the top of the fabric.

There are soffit mount options so no worries about height restrictions.
Any fading?
Adjust the pitch.
