Provides a large area of shade when needed

I got this for my backyard since it gets pretty hot in the afternoon. This awning provides a large area of shade. It was pretty easy to operate. Just turn the rotator and the two arms will extend the awning outward.The assembly took me about an hour. I got the larger one and the roller we’re in two piece I have to connect together. The cloth and rollers were pretty easy to put together. The bolts were design for concrete wall where you tighten to wedge it in. I was mounting it on my pergola so I use my own nut and bolt to secure it on the wood. The arms are tricky so you’ll want two people to install if possible. Don’t cut the zip tie until you’re ready to work on it since it’s spring loaded and will try to expand. Overall the awning is pretty sturdy in place and works pretty well. It’s definitely worth the install. Just found a strong place to secure it on. Hope this helps.
