I still have not installed the awnings. I bought 2 of them and at this point all I've done is opened the boxes, inspected all the items and read the instructions. So far I think the instructions are somewhat vague and could not find a video on line for the specific awnings we bought however it does not seem very hard to assemble and install. When I purchased the awinings, the description stated that it could be installed on metal so I expected that the hardware for metal installation would be sent with all the other hardware. The awningn cannopy is very nice and the material seems very strong.
