This is a very nice awning...now that it is finally installed. But, extremely poor assembly/installation instructions. It was necessary to make several dry runs before I finally succeeded in assembling and installing this product. BTW, I am not a newcomer to DIY projects. My skills are likely above average. But, i still had difficulties. People with arthritis in their hands would be hard pressed to thread the cording into the awning and the awning into the roller groove.
