This is a decent awning for the money. I can only give it 4 stars because the mounting and assemblt hardware was less than adequate. First, the wall anchor bolts would not hold in a wooden wall. A strong wind would pull them right out. I made a trip to our local hardware supply and bought 6 lag bolts and washers. Also, the screws used in the frame assembly were about an inch too long and I replaced them with adequately sized screws. But, knowing this I would say that the awning was still a satisfactory purchase.
