MCombo 116 inch / 78 inch / 39 inch Window Awning Outdoor Polycarbonate Hollow Sheet Door Patio Canopy (40''x40'', White Canopy/Black Bracket)

Had to mount this a little higher than I wanted to because of the middle vertical mounting bracket. But it does the job an awning is intended to do. Because it’s transparent light is not blocked and from the inside it’s bright. It is well designed and the white color blends in. Assembly is a bit time consuming. You need two people to hold it in place while bolting it. Very happy and recommend it.

Looks great and does the trick. Materials are a bit cheap but I still really like it over my side door.

Not very good instructions. You should have two people to install since its pretty flimsey before you bolt it in. The 80" was not quite 80" and it didnt come with all the screws. I recommend using packing tape to hold it together since the awning part tends to slide a bit and its in 2 peices with a plastic joiner in the middle . Once up theyre very sturdy and weve had some strong winds. Theyre doing exactly what was needed to keep the rain from the window and door wells and they look pretty good. I recommend making a cardboard template to level and drill the mounting holes . There are no instructions to what size holes to drill as the bolts are like a molly bolts that exoands as you thread the bolt into the sleeve. I had to make wedge type brackets to keep them plumb but its because I have a mansard roof thats on an angle, not a typical install. All in all they look good and are doing the trick. I bought 2- 40" and 2 -80"

First the whole concept looked good and very different, that's what I liked about it. The assembly was very difficult and definitely takes two people. The instructions are a joke and are useless. Pictures. I assembled the awning and it looked good. I purchased 4 of these units for the entry on the back of my house. The first thing I noticed was the arch that you mount to the wall or soffit had to have a mountable space of at least 11" to be able to secure these arches. That's fine if you have a flat wall. I had to modify my soffit to be able to mount these arches. To make a long story short. It took me seven days to finish and it looked good. Now for the weather. It rained and it was leaking all over the place almost every seam. NOT HAPPY. the bugs started to crawl into every one of the clear plastic panels and died. As you look up at the awning there is all these dead discolored bugs that you cant get out. These clear tubes that run throughout the awning also fill up with rain water which also discolors. Needless to say come springtime this junk is coming back down and into the dumpster. I am a retired carpenter and have been doing this type of work my whole life. NOT HAPPY !!!

The product seems flimsy during assembly, but once assembled it was sturdier. The brackets are plastic and the shade material is also plastic. The instructions were okay but as senior citizens we needed strong light and a magnifying glass to discern the difference in some of the smaller pieces in the picture directions. The smaller pieces also were not labeled in the packaging. Once the shade was together, and it is the easiest process - to assemble prior to installing, it was awkward for 2 people to put it up. A small area came apart and we had to take it down and reassemble and put it up again. We did try some glue but it did not hold. We did get it up and we caulked the gap between the shade and the house (wood siding). So far it is performing as we hoped - keeping rain from directly hitting a small bay window roof. We are satisfied with our purchase

Love the design and colors. When assembled and installed correctly, it's sturdy and relatively simple.Huge Tips, especially for the 120"---do NOT drill mounting holes in advance---read on...1. caulk the channels in the brackets before inserting the poly sheets2. assemble the entire thing promptly after caulking, make sure everything is square and no tension3. let it sit overnight4. drill ONLY a top corner hole on one side where it will be mounted5. get a friend or two or some skyhooks and hold the unit where it will be installed and install the first screw mounting bolt firmly but still allow the unit to swivel around the bolt with a little effort.6. make sure it is level and mark the other top corner, drill, and install mounting bolt7. drill and install the other mount bolts with the awning in situ---8. put some backer rod on the underside of the awning where it mounts to structure and caulk across the gap from the top9. DONE10--OPTION--you COULD assemble individual sections and mount section---make sure the first section is LEVEL if so cuz any out-of-level will be exaggerated across the next two sections, and there is NO room for adjustment---it will create tension EVEN if you drill the holes in situ---11. the key is NOT to drill mounting holes in advance AND to be LEVEL---no matter how closely you measure, they will be off a little and that will create tension between the brackets as you mount them which shows up in the panels---the tiniest amount of tension is greatly exaggerated across the width and depth of the poly panels

Since the majority of homes in America have staggered siding / clappered style, I don't believe this is a good choice. It will work easily if you have flat siding, but other than that expect a very difficult install. Not just because of your style of siding, but this thing is a nightmare to try and keep together while placing it onto the house. Not to mention assembling it, sliding in the clear portions into the rails is a nightmare.When preparing to put it up on the house, I used a series of ratchet straps to keep it together so it wouldn't keep falling apart. What you save on purchase price you will make up for in labor if you have to pay someone to install this.I had a buddy help me, but three or four people would be much easier (again if you buy the largest size)It is very difficult to flash around it, forcing you to pretty much just caulk where the structure meets the siding. Very rarely will this be watertight or results in a quality outcome.It's been up for a few months, and we'll see how it handles the snow loads in the Northeast.... Just know you're getting what you're paying for on this one.

Easy to install and great product
