First I would like to say the quality of the awning and the function of it is great.  A little tough to assemble. The manufacturer has changed some parts that require assembly in different order than the instructions show.  The bad part is the quality of the fabric.  I ordered this item and installed it in the fall of 2019. I immediately covered it for the winter. I uncovered it and started using it the end of May 2020. In less than 2 months the color is completely gone on the sun exposed side. The photo is the front part of the awning folded over onto the top of the awning. Blue part is unexposed side. They must have used the cheapest fabric availble
