The installation of the Balconie is one of its greatest qualities: it takes less than five minutes, requires no tools, and leaves no marks on the railing. Here's how to do it.
Many people expect a complicated installation. The reality is the opposite. The Balconie's mounting system has been designed to be immediately understandable, reversible, and compatible with the vast majority of existing railings.
What you need
Strictly nothing, apart from the Balconie itself. No drill, no screws, no dowels, no glue. The mounting kit supplied with the product is all you need. An instruction manual in French and English is, of course, included in each package.
Checking your railing's compatibility
The Balconie adapts to the vast majority of standard railings: round or flat metal bars, square railings, horizontal painted steel bars, treated wooden railings.
Cases where installation may be tricky: glass railings, railings without handrails, very thick guardrails, and very unusual shapes. In these cases, it's best to contact Extra Terrasse before ordering.
Step-by-step installation
The Balconie is placed on the railing from above. The threaded rods are positioned on each side of the railing's top bar and tightened manually to secure the Balconie in place.
Adjustment is done by hand, without tools. Once in place, test stability by gently pressing on the edges. If the Balconie moves, tighten the wing nuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I maintain it?
Cleaning with clear water and a cloth from time to time is sufficient. The powder coating is highly resistant to bad weather and does not fade under UV exposure.
Can it be left outside in winter?
Yes, without any problem. The powder-coated steel withstands frost, snow, and temperature variations. No winter treatment is necessary.
Can it be easily moved?
Yes. The Balconie can be unhooked and moved in a few seconds, leaving no trace on the railing. Convenient for moving or reorganizing your space with the seasons: you can easily move it from one balcony to another.
In summary
Five minutes, no tools, no modifications to your home. The Balconie's installation is intentionally simple and reversible. Once installed, it is stable, durable, and can be removed or moved at any time as needed.
