    Added Touch
    The shade is beautiful with rich colors adding the perfect touch to the front of our house. It definitely has reduced the heat from the sun coming into the house. The directions weren't always clear so it took longer to install than it should have. I wish this shade came in wider sizes - I definitely would have bought more.

    Awning
    Product met all my expectations. Delivered in good condition with all hardware included. Be careful not to over tighten small screws! Others said it was tough to follow the instructions but if you have good handy person skills you'll be fine. I actually used it for my kitchen window to block early/late sun from entering and because the size was perfect.

      It's bigger than I thought it would be.
      Excellent product so far but it hasn't gone through a Maine winter as yet. Screws were very long so anticipate a good hold. Worried about fading - but it's new.

      Not Very Impressed
      The green canvas is good quality but assembly on the aluminum frame is weak. The little tiny 1/4 inch screws that are given for assembly stripped out in the aluminum frame too easy making the finished product weak and wobbly. A few good storms and I don't expect it to last very long.

      Gimme (or my back door) shelter
      This was purchased for a exterior french door that was getting intense morning sun and direct rain/snow (causing some leaking). Directions were straight-fwd with a few exceptions. Two extra horizontal supports are included, but you are never instructed to install them. It is important to complete this part, as the awning needs them for rigidity. Of course, this is a 2 person job, preferrably being tall. The awning does shelter the door (and my indoor carpet from fading), increasing cooling efficiency in the summer too. It looks more utilitarian than sheik, which is fine in the back yard. Possibly a more expensive option would be more attractive if installing on the front of house.

      just what I wanted...looks good.
      I had no problem finding the size, color and shape. Just what I wanted! I didn't put it up myself, but the installers had no problem following the instructions. I ordered on-line and received product prior to date expected.

      This product installs easily and looks great.
      The only downside of this product is the "requirement" that the awning be installed 13 inches above the door frame. This looked awkward, so I lowered it 6 inches, and it looks much better and still clears the open door by three inches.

      The fabric is lightweight.
      The fabric is a lighter weight than anticipated. Also, It would have been helpful to know the canopy has black trim.

      Does not hold up to weather
      I bought two of these awnings about 5 years ago. They clearly are made only for parts of the country with pretty benign weather. I happen to live in a part of the country that has pretty hot summers and pretty cold & snowy winters, and these awnings don't do very well in either of these situations. The fabric, as near as I can tell, has no UV protection. So it fades and weakens in only a few years due to sunlight. If I lived in the southwest where I grew up where it would get enormous sun exposure, I doubt the fabric would last more than a year. The other problem with the awning is the mounting hardware is very light weight. The awning attaches to the building with a very flimsy light rail system, and the outer edge is supported by horizontal struts that also mount to the building. The net effect is that if weight is placed upon the awning, such as from snow, the struts act as levers causing the base to try to pull away from the building. The very first year, one of my units collapsed while I was at work during a snow storm due to snow loading. It pulled itself out of their flimsy rail system. The snow was dry powder, maybe a foot, so not much weight at all. I learned from that experience that if you live where it snows, you'd better clear the snow off the awning ASAP, especially in early Fall or late Spring, where snow/rain mixes may develop. So I ended up beefing up the mounting hardware considerably all around. In the end, the fabric deterioration issue limited the total lifetime of the awnings to 5 years, which it is pitifully short.

        didn't like the frame.
        I have installed many awnings in the previouse years on several houses I owned and worked on. I didn't like the way the frame was constructed. all the support bars were flat and a flat surface is easier to bend then a round rod. I also didn't like the way the bars were screwed together. When it came via UPS( naturally) it was damaged. I had to bend the house mounting bracket back into shape in order for it to install on the house. ( thats what I mean about the flat bar rather then a round rod) If I were not in a hurry to complete the project I would have sent it back. I am considering this a test to see just how long this will last before I find it in a pile after the first storm. On the upside.....the color was great and so was the price, "ya get what ya pay for"

        Over the door Awning
        We've always had an awning over our entry door so when the one we've had for years finally saw its last day I began searching for a replacement. We just installed this today and it was easy to install and it looks great! Will see now if it stands the test of wind and snow.

          Door Canopy
          This canopy is beautiful and seems to be of very high quality materials. I needed something over my front door and decided to try this before spending lots of money on carpentry. Everyone has told me how nice it looks.

          Read the directions FIRST!
          I purched this product to shade a patio door from direct sun and allow the door to be opened in the spring/summer rain for cooling. The product fully meets these expectations. Shipping was fast-only 2 days. Package arrived undamaged and intact. All parts were there with a few spares. The fabric quality is very good, ribbing is somewhat flexible yet strong when assembled. My only problem was reading the directions-probably my fault. What appears to be a parts list on page 1 is actually the first steps in assembly. Don't do what I did and put it together on the ground THEN try to hang it-won't work. Other than that it's a very good, high quality product. We even adorned ours with low watt decorative lights to add some party atmosphere to the deck. I'd recommend it to anyone.

            Linen Fabric Door Canopy
            This canopy was just what my husband and I were looking for! We installed in under 1 hour and the instructions could not have been any easier to follow. The canopy is the perfect accent piece for our front door. It is the perfect length and keeps the morning sun and rain out. I would recommend this canopy without a moment's hesitation. The price and 5 year warranty was very attractive as well.
