Available in clear or grey tint, the PVC most often used is a .75mm with zipper sides raising and lowering on a rope & pulley system making the operation smooth & easy. In the closed position this style of awning creates a seal against the elements thus closing in an area that can be made comfortable with heating or cooling but still allows clear view from within or from out side.
