An excellent, quality awning at a fraction of the cost of the "so-called" high-end awnings. This awning does not disappoint and is so easy to install. We liked it so much we purchased two more.

Surprisingly well designed and engineered for the money. The instructions could be improved with larger drawings and/or close up photos. Very pleased with the unit.

I had a handyman assist me in hanging this. He did it in 2 hours, drilling 6 holes into masonry. He was so impressed with it, he took pictures to show to other customers.

This is a nice shade and does the job as intended. Installment was easy for the product but instructions only address securing to brick walls with no other guidance. The most difficult thing was accurately locating the studs through the siding. I bought an 8' length (7' foot opening of awning) and unfortunately the placement of the shade brackets do not allow for adjusting to stud placement. Had no choice but to attach to the header of the house where ceiling meets attic due to bracket constraints and door/window locations. I suggest at least a 10' length if using over a small deck.

I had been talking to my wife about putting an awning on our front desk for years. We finally decided to go for it. We researched multiple awnings knowing we had a maximum of 8 feet in width to go above our picture window. We finally settled on this one after reading dozens of reviews. Fits like a glove. Very functional and attractive. Installation was straightforward using to peope. I would suggest using a 2 x and good anchors. Opens and closes with a minimum of effort. Really improved the look and comfort of the deck. For the quality of this item the price was great.

We moved to a new house 6 Months ago. The office room has a garden window and faces South, the roof of the garden window takes on full sun from 10am to 3pm. Even though I could not find the right size I was looking for the space I had, I think this one will work just fine (8x7). The funny thing about the instructions is they only show how to install on a concrete wall. My walls are T-111 siding, the hard part was finding a wall stud in a place where I wanted it to go. I bought the 8x7 and the brackets are 92in oc so I was only able to hit one stud and I had to go into the attic to find it (long story).If you are not good up on a ladder (I gave this three stars for ease of installation) then I would not attempt this. First you have to make a level line the full length (I was at the top of an extended ladder because the front of my house is already two feet off the ground) , they say use a chalk string but I used a long level. Then you have to measure how far apart the brackets go (there's room for play by a couple of inches). When I attached each bracket I would put it up on the line semi tighten then place a small level on it to tighten the lower bolt.Once all three brackets were placed, with two ladders my wife and I carried it up step by step (It's really not that heavy but I can see how one person could get themselves in trouble trying to do it alone) and by George, it went into all three brackets no problem. The bolts though had to be placed from the bottom up as there was not enough room to drop then in from the top (a little annoying but I was too close to finishing). Adjusting the angle was no big deal just a couple more times up and down each ladder.The only thing I do not get is what about Winter I get rolling it back up but there's no end caps or a rain cover. Oh well, as long as it lowers my Summer time temps,...I'm good!

It was about 1/10th the cost of a sun setter and the quality looks pretty good. Definitely worth the $$.
