1. This is the competition’s "Heavy" model. It
has a slight bow in the fabric. In contrast, the
Buzzman Awning is flat, like a piece of wood,
all the way across. Our arms and frame are more
rigid, giving the product superior strength.
2. The middle of the arm is rubbing on the
fabric underneath; our Buzzman will never do
that. Our arms are triple angled to stay 12"
under the center elbow and yet come within 3"
from the fabric at each end. The result: No loss
of headroom!
3. The competition’s steel main square frame bar
and steel roller tube will create metal erosion
and corrode, especially if located near the
ocean. Our Buzzman frame is all aluminum alloy
and will not have this erosion and corrosion
problem.
4. The competition doesn’t recommend using their
awning in heavy rain or wind, At All! Most
competitors models, are limited to a mild 10-15
MPH light breeze, even with a wind sensor,
attached. They must have their awnings rolled
in at a much lower setting, than our heavier
Buzzman system. The Buzzman Awning is designed
to be used in higher level winds and heavy rain,
and has constantly been used in rough weather by
most our customers since 1996. When the wind
reaches 40 m.p.h. Our retractable spring action
will automatically release the tension for
safety, however, damage can still result at this
level, and possibly at lower levels, depending
on the size and exposure, as well as the speed
of a storm, such as a tornado (which are buried
inside thunder head storms), and can go from
zero wind and no apparent storm or danger, to an
Instant.....100 MPH Wind, in less than a few
seconds, right over your awning
..............which is why we advise the use of
a Buzzman wind sensor, to provide more insurance
and extra safety, to have many years of
enjoyment in the use of your Buzzman Awning.
As with anything in this world, nothing can be
100% care-free. Things can go wrong, right at
the wrong moment, such as a power-outage,
electrical failure, or an instant storm that
drops down out of no-where, etc. Nothing takes
the place of using good common sense, in the use
of any product, and the Buzzman Awning is no
different. The wind sensor would need at least
one gust, beyond the set wind limit, to trigger
an automatic roll-up, before a storm barrels in,
to successfully save your awning.
For Greater Success.....It can be used
accordingly: The rule of thumb is; If the
weather is too awful for you to be out in the
elements, then it is too awful for your Buzzman
Awning to be out (rolled out and in use). Most
customers roll up their Buzzman awning, every
night, and use it as needed in the daytimes or
evenings, Rain or Shine.....when they are there
to monitor it.
Our Buzzman wind sensor has been created as
added peace of mind, and extra insurance, to
increase the use and extended time that it is
opened and in use, however, it cannot be relied
on 100%, as nothing in this world is 100% fool
proof. Many customers do use the Buzzman wind
sensor to monitor the first gust of wind, to
automatically and safely roll it in, and have it
set to roll back out when the gusts have
subsided. This does work well for most of these
customers, for years and years, as long as they
have their installer set the wind sensor at a
lower than normal level, based on the size and
exposure of their particular awning.
The standard Buzzman wind sensor
setting;........ Is to have it set, based on its
size and installation exposure, to roll in at a
safe level of wind, that is reaching close to
its maximum limits, and stay rolled in, and shut
off, for the rest of the day. This type of use,
would be the closest thing to gaining an almost
100% fool proof system, that could be marginally
monitored while in use, and is most recommended
by us.
