General information Twins®Piazzola®Butterfly awning
Maximum width
600 cm (up to projection 500 cm)
NOTE: The aluminium support beam must always be shortened on both sides! Take the welded
sections into account when determining the width.
Total width Twins® Piazzola®
The total system width = projection both awning + 160 mm.
Comments
•Maximum fabric area 30 m² per awning section (acrylic fabric, Tibelly®).
•In case of standard-size fabric, apply a free seam of 10 cm both left and right.
•As the front profile will start to bend at a free span of 4 m, we recommend to use a tensioning
system.
•The fabric will sag slightly at an projection of 3,5 m or more. Use additional beams to support the
fabric.
•When using the Twins Piazzola in the rain (short light shower), we advise beam(s) to support the
fabric, and the use of a lockset. The Twins Piazzola should in that case be placed at a minimum
angle of 17 degrees.
•Eyelets (± 50 mm from the front profile) can be placed in the fabric for better water discharge.
•The height of the legs Twins Piazzola cannot be determined by the cut sizes as these depend on the
standing height, projection, protrusion of the side guide and the inclination angle.
•Fabric winding method: Bottomwise
Foundation
•For system stability, it is necessary to pour concrete dies for the Twins Piazzola legs with a size of 85
cm (length) x 85 cm (width) x 20 cm (height).
•The legs of the Piazzola must be placed on a standard concrete pad (7700 317-068), which must be
poured in to create a die with a size of 35 cm (length) x 35 cm (width) x 20 cm (height).

Subassembly Piazzola cassette
1. Cut the length material according the cut size table.
2. On the control side, drill a hole of 11 mm in the bottom cover for the motor cable feed. Fit a tulle in
this hole.
3. Around the midpoint of the length drill a hole of 6,5 mm on the drill line in the groove for later
placement of the cover support. Note: No suspension bracket can be placed here.
4. Slide the mounting plate with adjustment socket screws in that same groove. Insert 1 socket screw
through the hole of 6,5 mm and fasten the other one. On both the left and right hand side, slide 2
clamping plates in the groove where the suspension brackets can later be attached. Slide 4 clamping
plates in the groove along the bottom of the profile.
5. Pull the plastic insert strips into the bottom cover.
6. Slide the two splints into the fabric.

7. Wind up the fabric on the fabric roller.
8. Fit the cord pulleys.
9. Place the motor into the control side of the steel tube, and insert the bearing plug on the bearing side.
10. Make 4 windings of cord around the cord disk and ensure that the cord runs neatly. TIP: Apply double-
sided tape in the cord disk before winding the cord. Now the first 4 windings are fixed in place and
will remain so during transport.
11. Assemble the cover supports (bearing side and control side) as shown in the figure.
12. Use screws to fasten both cover support to the bottom cover.
13. Place the cord disks opposite the wheels on the cover supports and fix these into place.
14. Hook the cover support into the bottom cover and place it alongside the socket screw that projects
through the cover.

15. Hook the top cover into the bottom cover and use screws to fasten it to the ends of the cover supports.
16. Use the clamping plates to attach the suspension brackets to the bottom cover

Tensioning system assembly
1. Slide the clamping plate into the groove of the bottom profile with the holes facing the centre of the
profile.
2. Make sure that the sides of the clamping plate and the front profile are flush.
3. Draw the holes and drill holes of 9 mm. Do this on both sides of the front profile.
Attention: Do not drill in the holes of the clamping plate.
4. Using the drilling template, drill holes of 6,5 mm in the groove of the front profile. Maintain a distance
of around 50 cm between the holes. Keep a distance of around 70 cm in the centre of the front profile
and place the central pulley here.
Note: The distance of 70 cm gives the central pulley enough room to move during opening and
closing.

5. Slide the block to the centre of the tailored tensioning wire and screw it into place with the hexagon
screw.
6. Feed the tension wire through the tension wire mounting blocks and the cover profile. Fasten the
tension wire mounting blocks in the clamping plate using M08x25 bolts.
Note: Make sure that the mounting blocks are centred at the bottom of the front profile.
7. Maintain a distance of 2 mm between the mounting block and the cover profile. Fasten the cover
profile through the holes of 6,5 mm.

Twins Piazzola EN 27-08-2018 Page 10
8. Fasten the hexagonal connecting nut with a washer on the threaded side of the tension wire. Use the
anchoring sleeve with wedge set on the other side.
9. Tighten the hexagonal connecting nut (after complete assembly of the system) until the bottom
profile is straight tensioned.
10. Place cover caps on both sides of the tension system and fasten these with M04x25 socket screws.
11. Attach the cord tensioners at 50 cm from the middle on the slanted side of the bottom profile. Note:
Cord tensioners come in left and right versions.
12. Fasten the guide blocks to the bottom profile.
13. Draw the cord through the guide block and roll it up. Lay the cord in the front profile.
Draw the cord through the guide block and roll it up

1. Pour a concrete foundation. Minimum dimensions: Length 85 cm, width 85 cm and height 20 cm.
Allow the concrete to cure properly.
2. Drill the holes in the foundation and fix the M16 threaded ends in place (slotted hole width is
18 mm).
3. Cut the length material to the correct size (see the enclosed materials list).
4. You determine the height of the legs. At a projection of 5 m and a minimum angle of 17°, the
upright length is 3,7 m.
5. Make the holes (Ø 11 mm) in the top of the leg as shown in the drawing below.
Attention! If water enters the supports, drill a hole in the bottom of it. This to prevent damage from
frost.
6. Drill holes with a cross-section of 11 mm in the aluminium support beam (see drawing).

21. The legs of the Piazzola must be placed on a standard concrete die (7700 317-068), which must be
poured in to create a die with a size of 35 cm (length) x 35 cm (width) x 20 cm (height). Attach the
steel base plate, which is later fastened to the concrete die, to the bottom of the leg.
22. Use the Piazzola drilling template or the sizes below to drill holes of 7 mm in the left and right side
guides for attachment to the cover supports.
23. Slide the mounting plate of the fabric support into the side guide, place it in the required position,
and use it to fasten the support.
24. Slide the mounting plate of the top hinge into the side guide. Fasten the top hinge at the required
position of the side guide. Leave space for the nut on the outside.
25. Slide the guide plate into the top of the side guide. Use a rubber hammer to fasten.
