We ordered a 13' x 10' awning that we thought was assembled. On delivery we note the fabric and retractable mechanism are separate.  It was a long, difficult process trying to insert the cord into  stiff 13' awning fabric and then into the roller grooves.  To roll up  the awning fabric properly on the roller, we needed a large space to keep the fabric  centered.  3 people were required  to roll the fabric on  tight and straight, which took many tries.. Frustrating, too time consuming and complicated at that price point. And this was just getting the fabric on.
