Great awning. Looks fantastic and of excellent quality. Easy to put together as long as you do NOT read the installation manual which is totally confusing. Its as simple as:
Step 1 - Put the 3 tubing sections together
Step 2 - Insert fabric tubing into the fabric (Note that the thinner piece goes into the fabric that will be connected to the roller tube) They do not tell you this anywhere in the instructions
Step 3 - Attach fabric and valance to tubes.
Step 4 - Secure retractable arms to front tube (Note that the retractable arms are spring loaded and need to stay secured until attached to front tube)
