You get what you pay for. This is literally the cheapest retractable awning out there. The main torsion bar was not long enough to hold the awning. FFortunately my husband is very handy and was able to fabricate a small metal piece in order to make it work. Also the main bar metal is very thin and begin to collapse when tightening down each bracket. Didn’t really expect a super high quality product for the price so if you’re willing to do a little bit of work it will get the job done.
