Maximum permitted wind strength
The sun protection system has been constructed that the largest size meets the re-
quirements for wind resistance class 4 in the CE conformity classification (see table 1.4).
What wind resistance class after assembling has been achieved depends largely on the
type and quantity of the used fixing materials used and the surface it is installed upon.
The sun protection system may only be used up to the declared wind resistance class
declared by the installer.
