This awning looks so nice on the website, but in person, not so much. It’s not silver, it’s gray plastic. Not a shimmer of metallic in sight. And as others have mentioned, the panels are so thin and flimsy, you’re afraid to handle them too much or they’ll bend/break. This was way too expensive for plastic frames and thin polycarbonate panels!  It was not an easy task to get them installed on our cinderblock home either. It’s was tricky getting the back/front metal pieces to stay in place when installing the next section of panel. I’m probably going to take them down, paint the frames a metallic silver (like I thought I ordered) and replace the thin panels with fabric. Sadly, that’s what I didn’t want to do... that’s why I purchased the clear panels. Better yet, I would return the whole darn thing and that would save me more effort to make it look nice.
