Installing awnings in areas where salt laden air is present requires extra care on the part of the owner. Salt air is extremely corrosive on all objects, including non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel.
Awnings exposed to salt air must be treated with the same care as would be given to a boat or other metal equipment in order to prevent accelerated salt environment corrosion of the fasteners and finish.

"On September 28, 2022, hurricane Ian’s winds blew a 5’ NuImage awning off my small concrete house in Punta Gorda, FL. The winds were strong enough to topple a very large tree nearby. After 6 weeks the awning was found intact at the bottom of a tidal creek over 120 feet away. While there was a lot of damage to trees, structures and roofs, the awning was just wet and dirty. Very impressive!"
