Let's start with the good.. It's stylist, very lightweight, fairly simple to assemble. Now onto the not so good. First of all, instruction said to assemble the whole thing first and then install. However, structurally, there are 2 tiny screws holding the tip of middle arm to the bar and that's it. As you move the whole assembly, it falls completely apart and bending the thin aluminum tubes in the process. Word of advice? Install it one section at a time and do not try to carry both section assembled! 2ndly, the expansion bolts are completely useless as some have mentioned. I have stucco wall and the bolts do not expand enough to hold. I had to run to Home Depot and get 3/8" bolts with larger expansion tips to secure the arms to wall properly. There are no installation instructions such as how far the holes should be drilled so I took my own measurements and drilled holes 38" apart. A drilling template would have really helped. It worked OK but in hindsight, I should have taken off half an inch so there can be some inward pressure from both sides towards the middle, helping to secure the center joint. As it is right now, a little flex from outer arms would cause the front bar to pop out of place, due to the damage caused by moving the whole assembly. Next I am going to have to put some epoxy inside the joint to prevent that from happening. Every day when the sun comes up, the panels heat up and start to make crackling sound, I assume due to expansion. It's a bit unsettling at first. All in all, it's decent. I have a house with tile roof and no gutter so there is nowhere to hide from falling rain water when I let the dogs out from a side slider. This would provide the much needed shelter for me. I certainly do not expect this to survive winter with snow on it but I sure hope this can at least hold up against rain. I'll see if I can come up with more ideas to strengthen the structure. Update 1/2024. I have updated this to 5 stars as I think the toughness of this deserves an upgrade in rating. This past winter we barely got any snow so I got lazy and didn't remove the awning to protect it from snow\ice falling from my roof. Had a couple of snow storm back in March 2023 with about 5" each. The awning took the hits from the storm and only had cracks on one of the panels. First storm in 2024 We were expecting less than 3" but ended up with nearly 6" of heavy wet slush. When avalanche started to fall from my roof, the awning finally came down. To my amazement, this was still very much in repairable state. I got several cracks on both panels and they fell off but still in one complete piece. One of the front beam got knocked out from the end screw. Basically I expected this thing to get completely demolished into shreds but I can definitely repair this with minimal effort.

Put this awning over my back door and I love it! Super easy to install and really sturdy. Now I can step outside without getting rained on, and it gives some shade too. Makes the back door area look nicer and more put together. Definitely glad I got it!

This was easy to install, However after two years the dirt has built up in the front edge. That why i took away a star but i liked how it looked and it did a good job. Rain and snow protection was there. It Plastice so dont go thinking its glass. Two people needed to install.

We were tired of our doorway being soaked with rain whenever storms came. This fixed the problem and looks clean and definitely an upgrade. Thinking of buying others for our window's to match. Easy install my 16 year old grandson installed it for me in 15 min start to finish. It has survived storms here like a champ.

Holy Cow! Such a poor design for assembly and install. The instructions are really poor. The hardware is inadequate and inappropriate for wooden walls. When assembled there is nothing to keep the back of the panels from slipping out of the center frame so, installation is a REAL chore for even two people. I finally figured out that it pays to screw a 1x4x8 to the inside of the frames at the back flange just to hold it all together till it is hung. That also helps with alignment. However, once installed, they look good and seem to be fairly sturdy on the wall. I added extra screws to attach them to my wooden siding wall. We'll see how they hold up to the Texas weather.

Mine broke when weather was windy. Everything is plastic. Not recommend. Very cheap

Easy instalation

E comprado dos de estos y lo recomiendo muy buen material y bonito y protege las puertas ya que no da el sol ni se moja al llover

Not useful at all. It blew away next day

Très peu probable de racheter un autre structure comme celle ci Montage facile structure faible panneau de polymère endommagé et de mauvaise qualité Pas certain que cela soit très résistant cette hiver même si l’ajout de vis à certains endroits ont été nécessaires
