Hi all.

Can anyone tell me why we seem to suffer from really bad condensation in our porch awning. It is a Romany 300 made of Polyester with 3000HH. Our full awning is an Inaca Palma, which is an acrylic material. The previous awning was a cotton material. I have never noticed condensation like this before. We only use the porch awning in the winter. The vents are always left open, so air should flow through. However, entering the porch awning in the morning, should you accidently cause the material to ripple etc, you get a cold bath !!!!!! Is this a norm with polyester ? Using a heater obviously could be a cause, but we used heaters in our other awnings with no problem!!

You will probably have a coated roof on your awning which will collect condensation, sometimes also caused by fridge venting into the awning.We've had this 'shower' problem with 2 full awnings and a porch. Basically in cold weather you have to allow plenty of ventilation to reduce the effect.
Also, remember that the volume of a porch is one 3rd of that in a full awning,so condensation will collect more easily and quicker.
Hope this puts some light on the problem!

Thanks for that, DONNYDISCO. That is a good point about the fridge venting to the porch. I never gave that a thought.!!!! Definately gonna try upping the venting now.
