116 inch / 78 inch / 39 inch Window Awning Outdoor Polycarbonate Hollow Sheet Door Patio Canopy (Silver Canopy + Black Bracket, 40''x 80'')

I bought a bunch of these for my home and my parent's home. They look cool. I have put one together but have not installed it yet. It was a little difficult to put together with one person, but I was able to get it together. The reason I have not installed any of them is because they seem like they would be easily damaged by wind or hail. Since I live in the center of storm central, I am waiting until the end of Spring to hopefully give them a fair chance to last awhile. I gave them five stars because, I was pretty aware of what I was buying.

I cut a door in a shipping container (see pic) and used this awning to keep the rain away. I gave the product a five start review because of the low price, its ease of installation and being lightweight, it's easy to install. I installed the awning myself, with no help whatsoever, although a second pair of hands would've come handy. I basically put the awning together on the ground and used bungie cords to keep it together. After installing and tightening all the screws, I tied two ropes at both ends of the awning to lift it in place. Once in place, I drilled the holes through the wall and used bolts, nuts and washers to secure the awning to the wall. Note that you must attach one awning bracket to the wall at a time to make sure everything aligns properly. You can either first attach one corner bracket and then the center bracket before attaching the last remaining bracket. Or you can first attach the center bracket and then the two corner brackets. Because of the shipping container structural design, there was a 1/2 inch gap at the top, between the awning and the shipping container wall. I used roofing tape to seal the gap. It worked well to prevent leaks and it's almost invisible from the ground. I must say that although the awning itself feels flinzy before installation, it feels very sturdy once it's attached to the wall. Don't know how long it'll last but I'm very satisfy with the purchase.

Do not buy

You need 2 people to slide the sheets into the brace. One to gently push down, another at the bottom to pull. We had to make 2x2 inch wood pieces so it would lay flat against the house because of this we used long screws. Had 3 people to hang it. Love it and it looks great. We'll see what how it holds up after a Wisconsin winter.

These things are perfect for those doors without a porch cover. Very easy to install, if you read the directions. Great value. Nice to be out of the rain when opening the door.

Seemed like for years these and every other awning I saw on Amazon was unavailable. Also often checked local stores but per usual, you just cannot find things in Hawaii. So finally, they were in stock and at a decent price on Amazon. I ordered 2 sets. I set things in motion with a carpenter to install them. All good, then one set arrives and the other is untrackable. Ok, slight delay. Not the fault of the product or manufacturer, just how business by mail goes. Once everything was here, there was significant planning and shopping to do. These awnings are not designed for single wall structures. You've never heard of single wall? It was the most common construction mode for houses in Hawaii until the 1980's. Gotta say, it's wonderful and perfect for the tropics though deemed not hurricane safe. But what is? Anyway, the screws included in these sets are for brick or masonry or something else we don't use here so I had to buy wood screws. Also had to install 8' lengths of 1"x8" boards to screw the awnings to. These were glued and screwed above the windows. Of course they had to be primed and painted first. Then the assembly of the awnings. I had watched the video and read the instructions so I got it started. In this 78" set, there are 2 panels connected by an "H bar." They do not simply slide in easily as they seem to in the video. They've got to be coaxed and inched along. Watch out for the very sharp corners and edges of the panels because you will be stuck and sliced easily! The H Bar is very wobbly and has to be held perfectly straight, though it really wants to bend, in order to get the panels in. Then a "discussion" with my carpenter who wanted to put the frame all together first and then somehow insert the panels. What could I do? I let him figure out that would not work and we were able to finish the assembly. Because there is a center support that must be attached to the wall, it could not be placed at the top of the window, but had to be placed 10" above the window. Ten inches is the length of the back end of the brackets. It would have been more useful to have the awning portion initiate at the top of the window as this would give more coverage to block rain. My carpenter doubted they would do much of that and he was not pleased with the quality of the awnings. They are flimsy plastic and the panels insert only about 1/2" into the brackets so gusts of wind may just blow them apart. He did end up putting in additional screws where there was no hole pre-drilled to reinforce the frame. In summary, $200 for product, $100 for extra materials (wood, wood glue, wood screws) and $300 for one day of the carpenter, came to $600 for a not-quite-right result, not terribly effective rain protection that may blow down in a few months.

A bit smalller than the one i had before but whatever it works fine ... if you just use then how they come is not gonna last a week, you have to add some insulation foam and invovate so it gets built stronger

It seemed too flimsy when assembling but when everything was finally put together, it firms up great. Great light weight design perfect as a door rain protector.

Fácil armado y materiales de buena calidad.

difícil de instalar ya que no es fácil armarlo, mala calidad de material y al armarlo se deforma con espacios que no sella bien listo para que el agua se meta....

We needed a little extension on our pergola roof to keep the BBQ dry during rainstorms. This roof was perfect and has lasted all summer in harsh rain storms and wind. Great product easy to assemble.
