Goplus Awnings for Doors, 48" x 40" Window Awning with Rain Snow Sunlight UV Protection, UPF 50+,Hollow Sheet, Outdoor Overhead Awning Canopy Exterior, Polycarbonate Awnings for Patio, Porch, Deck

A HELPER IS NEEDED, INSTRUCTIONS ARE OK, GETTING THE HEIGHT RIGHT TO CLEAR A STORM DOOR A THIRD PERSON TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE YOU AND A HELPER HOLD THE UNIT UP TO MARK THE LOCATION OF THE SUPPORTS. DUE TO THE OLD FASHIONED DOOR HEADER I HAVE I NEEDED TO PACK OUT WHERE THE SUPPORTS ARE FASTENED, IF YOU HAVE A FLAT WALL YOU SHOULD DRILL A COUPLE PILOT HOLES SO YOU DON'T GO ABOVE THE DOOR HEADER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE SIDEING OVER SHEATHING (MOSTLY THE NEWER GYSPUM TYPE SHEATHING).

Looks very good, neighbors have asked were to buy. It takes two to install. It held up to Ohio winter very well.

The awning itself is very easy to assemble and is pretty light--since it's all plastic except the horizontal aluminum bars. The size is exactly what I was looking for.The installation is a bit of a struggle, primarily because of the expansion bolts. I hammered the metal sleeves (the tube part of the expansion bolt) into the wall, but basically, the conical nuts are at the very end of the sleeve, and so, there's very little threading for the bolts to screw into. I'm left with 4 small metal holes in my exterior wall. The bolts just slide in and out, there's nothing to grip. I kept the expansion sleeves in the wall and filled them with epoxy. I'm going to try to screw into the epoxy with self-drilling screws that I have on hand. The expansion sleeves will at least provide some structure to the screws since they are a bit of metal. If this doesn't work, I might either give up and return this product, or try to buy better expansion bolts separately.

Absolutely love this awning! It will require 2 people to mount it if you put it together prior to installing it. I put the frame together first, then mounted it, then removed the end bracket and slide the overhead panels into place then put the end bracket back inplace. Love the way it looks on the shop and very practical. Worth the money.

Can easily be installed by one person. Very stable.

Extremely disappointed with this product and would not recommend to others nor would I purchase it again. We looked at several awnings as we wanted to be sure the product we selected would look nice on our new home. We took great care in unpacking this item, assembling it, measuring to install accurately, etc only to have it be a huge disappointment the very first time we got rain. As you can easily see from the pictures I attached, the awnings are obviously not made well and after the first light rain we have water inside the panels that should not be there. This not only looks terrible but will certainly end up discoloring and will have a mold issue. We would LOVE TO SEND THEM BACK but then we will have holes in our new home where they were attached to the house. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!

This awning is easy to install and the quality is good!

I love it looks very nice n the reason I got it was to protect the side door of house from the rain but it makes it looks elegant tooEven though putting it together some parts were a little difficult. I hope it will be durable since we get a lot of sun n rain in Fl
