Why are there no support poles on Thatcher Retractable awnings?

All Thatcher Retractable Awnings are lateral arm awnings. A lateral arm retractable awning uses spring-loaded arms to provide tension to the fabric as it rolls from a tube. The springs push out the arms to keep the fabric taut while the awning is extended. This style of awning is superior to the RV-Style Awning that drops from the side of the house. The RV-Style requires manual adjustment of side poles. Additionally, many customers find the RV-Style poles to be unsightly, and a barrier to moving around the deck or patio.
