STEELAIDManual Retractable Awning – 157” Non-Screw Outdoor Sun Shade – Adjustable Pergola Shade Cover with UV Protection – 100% Polyester Made Outdoor Canopy – Ideal for Any Window or Door

I ordered a second one of these after installing the first one for use on a patio door with a balcony. I did attach the uprights to the door trim on the building with U-clamps for added stability. They are well made and installation was no problem by myself, all pieces and parts present. While it is true, as I read in reviews and experienced, that water accumulates on the awning, it is easily corrected by lowering one side a couple of inches and water drains off well. I'm very happy with them.

It’s perfect for what I needed it for, which is shade for my dog and to cover the furniture incase it rains. We live in socal so we don’t get much rain. I don’t think it would hold up in a rain storm. Make sure you have space to put it together if you live in an apartment. It’s been a month and seems to be holding up well. It adjusts to the height you need. And the instructions are very simple. Overall I’m happy with it. I should’ve got 2 for my other patio.

Instructions very unclear. Pieces are "unhandy" to work with. Definitely a 2 person install. Once installed, looks like it may work nicely. Materials seem very well made.

The media could not be loaded. ABSOLUTE RAGE AS I TYPE THIS! Was perfect for first two weeks of ideal weather - no rain no wind…today was the first time it rained and even with added support legs and more than half of the awning under my covered patio and not fully extended…. At the exact moment I opened the door to ‘check on it’ it came crashing down sending a flood of water INTO my apartment from what I assume quickly collected on top. The middle bar holding the awning piece literally bent in half and the legs were no better. Also worth mentioning it came with NO hardware (similar reviews), so I sourced pieces at HD along with adding all the additional support elements…ultimately for nothing! Total failure for realistic outdoor weather exposure.

We installed this last year and other than some minor fading it is still working well. This extends the porch and it is great to block the evening sun as you can adjust how low the awning sits by fulling extending it. It was easy to assemble and install. I highly recommend it.

I like the fact that it didn't have to be permanently installed on my house I needed some shade on my back porch,but it was too expensive for me to hire a someone to install a roof. This was under$200. And for a younger person, probably wouldn't have taken so long to put together. It took me almost 3 hours and a lot of patience, but I'm 73 years old. After assembly I had to contact my son in law to help me set it up outside. It looks great and glad that I purchased it. I hope it lasts a long time. If it looks like it's going to rain or very windy, I make sure to rollit up.************ It's been 3 months since instalation and I am extremely happy with my decision to make this purchase. I roll it up if I think it's going to rain or storm .It remains secure even through storms. I forgot to roll it up once and because it's water proof it collected water and would have caused damage from the weight of the water collecting.I'm thinking about purchasing another one to put in front of my garage. It would be great for shade while sitting outside in front or for yard sales.

First, this thing is easy to assemble, even with no experience. It can be a bit cumbersome for 1 person to assemble and move, but it's not impossible. The legs are well built, if a little lacking in any sort of "presets", I think just simple 1/4in apart stripes on the side of the legs would make proper setup much easier and quicker, rather than eyeballing it and adjusting.The joints and intersections are made of a softer plastic, which is good, especially for when parts bend out of place during installation, again 2 people is probably best for this, but I fear long exposure to the sun might cause issues later.Lastly, the handle for the adjuster works well, but I would have preferred a way to take it off for the season, rather than having to disconnect it from the top of the unit.

I was looking for sun and rain cover for a portion of our back deck, not the entire deck. This awning fit our need perfectly. We have an overhang section on the second floor of our house, so the idea of setting up a free standing awning that we could secure from the overhang to the deck floor just made great sense. We went with the 13’ awning so that we could cover the back door and some cooking items (grill, griddle and pizza oven) and have protection from walking from the inside of our house to the deck. Box arrived from Amazon with the contents well packaged. Opening the box, I accounted for all the parts and laid them out on the deck to start assembling. With my wife’s help, the entire awning was assembled in 1.5 hours. We were in no rush and took our time to follow the directions in the booklet. Very easy to assemble with few tools needed. We did need two small ladders to stand on so that we could attach the awning to the support poles. Opening and closing the awning is simple and easy. You can also adjust the height of the side support arms. We really like this awning and again we’re happy to find this for what we were looking to add to our deck. Also, the price of this awning is a real steal!
