AECOJOY 10'×8' Patio Awning Retractable Sun Shade Awning Cover Outdoor Patio Canopy Sunsetter Deck Awnings with Manual Crank Handle, Beige

This is the second awning we've purchased from this company. Several years ago we bought the 8' wide awning and have been pleased with it. The awning held up well. We'd made some adjustments to the patio, and wanted a second awning to supplement the one we already had. Of course I went back to the same company. It arrived in record time. Again, the materials used are high quality. And while not entirely easy to assemble, we were able to put it together in a couple of hours. However, there were some issues. 1) one of the mounting bars (which on this model have to be put together as they're in two pieces and would be too long to ship in a single piece) was the wrong one. The company had shipped us two RIGHT hand bars instead of a right and left bar. We were able to make it work, but it required drilling additional holes in the other end to be able to attach the screws. 2) one of the adjustment bolts was cross-threaded. Again, we were able to make it work by tapering the end of the bolt, thereby grinding off the ruined threads. And 3) the two nylon washers that keep the moving arms separated were missing, requiring a trip to the hardware store to find 2 nylon washers that would fit (about $0.59 cents for both - but a nuisance nonetheless). It's up now. It's functional and serves its intended purpose. A little tighening up on the distribution side of things and this would be a 5-star review.

We are very satisfied with these awnings. We bought 4, 8 ft tan awnings. Assembly was done by one person (me) and a child as my assistant.The videos helped and I Referred to the paper copy included and the videos to counter check and be sure I was doing things right. It took some patience but came together pretty well. For hanging the awning you will need two people and two ladders and need know a little something about proper fastening. Such as securing it properly so that it won’t be hazard.These are easy to roll out and rolling in takes just a tad bit of effort but is pretty easy also.The one problem I had was with the T bolt that connects the side arm bar to the front of the awning and allows it to be pushed in and out. We had two bolts shear off. One before we assembled the whole thing and hung it, and another one after we had it assembled and hung. The company was great the first time it happened and sent out the replacement part quickly stating that they had strengthened this part and it shouldn’t happen again. I recently messaged them about the second part that broke and requested a new part for every awning to be sure it doesn’t happen again. If they don’t send the parts I will update but as of now I am a satisfied customer and despite the hassle of the bolts shearing off I would still order these awnings again. They are great.

Easy to assemble and install and it works well

We didn’t even have this a year.Putting it together was problematic because of the directions. We did get it on the house with little issue.We fully extended it and the wind blew. Game over. The awning was flailing around while we hurriedly rolled it up. Then we had to build support devices because that first bit of wind bent something.So now we had to unroll it when we wanted to use it. Set it up on the braces we built off the deck to hold it. Then a gentle breeze again blew it off the braces we made.Then we added hooks to the braces we made to hold it up and keep it level.The first time we used it this spring, a shower came over us out of no where! While rolling it back in, the bolt snapped that held the left arm in place. Half the roll was up and half was all over us and our guest. Picture children crying and old lady’s wringing their hands and begging to get off the deck.Still, we aren’t quitters. We had our kids weld the broken bolt and went to put it back together. As we were doing that, the other bolt broke. So we ripped it off the house and threw it in the trash! We bout hit May 2022 and trashed it June 2023. Now there are holes in the siding and we have no shade.

We bought this for our porch. The assembly was very easy. It gives up great shade while sitting on the porch. It's very sturdy and holds up well

The product is great. It’s 40 lbs and I needed to hire a professional to install it. Took him 2 hours and had the tools and expertise. Found on anji list and I gave him $300. I was so satisfied once installed it was worth it

Assembly was fairly simple even with the less than ideal instructions. I got a buddy to mount the brackets on the wall. After we got the awning secured in the brackets and rolled it out, it seemed to be pulling hard to one side. After trying to align everything, I was winding it in and suddenly something seemed to give way and the awning violently swung to the side it had been favoring and partially yanked the canvas out of the front bar. It didn't fall- it was forcefully yanked to the side. As the picture shows, it's a a disaster. If someone was up on the ladder when it went they could have been injured. I'll have to take it down to try to figure out what happened. But I am thinking that one of the spring arms may have more tension than the other. An unbalanced state could explain why it pulled to one side. So I think there's a major problem and I'm waiting to hear back from the vendor. On a positive note this thing appears to be well built and the other reviews have indicated easy operation after mounting. I'm hopeful we can get this resolved and once we do i will update this review

The media could not be loaded. Excellent quality and very well done, I love it, hopefully it will less a long time 🙏🏽
