AECOJOY 8.2'×6.5' Manual Retractable Awning Sun Shade Patio Awning Cover Outdoor Patio Canopy Sunsetter Deck Awnings with Manual Crank Handle, Beige

Me gusta mucho lo recomiendo!

Assembly of the AECOJOY 8.2'×6.5' Manual Retractable Awning took less than an hour. Within that same time, using the large lag bolts supplied, I mounted two U-shaped brackets, about 4 feet apart, above the sliding doors on my deck. I lifted one end of the roughly 50 lb awning up into place, dropping a bolt through the bracket, and then lifted the other end up into place, dropped a second bolt, and then tightened both to complete the installation. I unfurled the awning in less than a minute, and then took another few minutes to set the pitch, so when my wife and I sit beneath our Sun Setter awning in the spring rain, the water just quickly rolls right off, allowing us to enjoy our garden, high and dry.

really well made I was surprised because good price!! really keep sun out I am in FL!!It got left up in storm in Fl During lots of heavy rain !I am very Happy with qaulity!!

Safety hazards 1: screws to keep the awning in place are too short for a typical wall in use. The only situation their screws would work is when you have a thick piece of wood exposed. if the stud is hidden inside the wall with some distance to the surface, as is typical in the U.S., especially with a stucco wall, the screw would have at most 1/4 inch inside the stud---that is not enough to support the weight of this awning, especially when it is open, it creates a very large leverage. To install it, the professionals I hired had to go to Home Depot to buy longer screws, which cost $45.5. Safety hazards 2: The right arm of the awning cannot hold its position due to a loose screwed (See attached video). This resulted in the arm hitting the piece below when we tried to close the awning---the awning could not be closed. The defect is apparent when you compare the two arms, the left arm is normal and functioning, but the right arm is loose and dropped, hitting the piece that connects the leg and the bracket on the wall. I paid the professionals $220 to put this thing on, and it can only be half closed--ugly. Also, because there are so many low-quality and wobbly parts, it takes the professionals 30 minutes to figure out what is preventing the awning from closing, guess who is paying for their time? Other flaws: Flaw1: One of the two cylinders that roll in the cloth has a dent—it cannot be connected to the other cylinder. Flaw 2: It is very time-consuming to align all the moving parts when there are so many flaws and loose parts. Although the price of this item is cheap, the installation is costly. Seller response: The seller suggested ‘solutions’ that are not solutions at all. For example, the seller offered a $30 refund and asked me to use that $30 to hire someone to work for 10 minutes to replace the loose arm, while the replacement arm is nowhere to be found yet was promised to come after 15 days + shipment time. The seller also suggested that there is nothing wrong with the screws since they have tested it. Why do they need to test it? They only need a ruler to figure out it is not long enough for a typical house in the U.S.!

it was harder to put together for the lay person than thought. It took at least 8 hrs, it was a puzzle. I have it up but it still leans to the left somewhat. Would I buy it again? Probably not, and make sure you have a person who put up awnings or you will be disappointed. It does look nice and it does well with the shade.

Had this up in under an hour, easy assembly and simple to use. survived a windstorm also!

This would be a 4 star review except for the instructions. They are so small that "reading" them is extremely difficult. I put "reading" in quotes because they are pictures only. The most critical step is placing the gearbox onto the roller but because of the minuscule pictures it can be mounted 90 degrees off. The materials and quality are good. I would recommend this as long as you bring your patience and strong reading glasses.

I bought this to cover above my jacuzzi owsome product for the price. That's what I needed. Installing wasn't difficult if you go according to the manual. Follow the instructions can't go wrong. I wonder if they sell the fabric for replacement. I know frames will last for years but the fabric will worn out in few years . It's better to have one on hand
