Customer Reviews for VEVOR Manual Retractable Awning, 8 x 7 ft Outdoor Patio Awning Retractable Sun Shade, Water-Resistant Polyester Patio Door Window Awning Sunshade Shelter with Crank Handle for Backyard, Balcony

I am very satisfied with this awning and the way I collaborated with the seller. I recommend this producer! ​

The only negative comment is have is the ease of putting it together, took me longer than I expected. Now that it's together and up, I absolutely love it and can't imagine not having it.

It was fairly easy to put together. Instructions were a little weak but I was able to figure it out. Have boo instructions fire mounting on wood. Assumed concrete. Not everyone has a concrete wall.

Même si le montage demande de la méthode et de suivre parfaitement les instructions qui pourraient être plus claires (photos et dessins trop petits qui ne mettent pas vraiment en évidence les sens de montage), le produit respire la qualité. Le fonctionnement manuel est "assez" facile, à condition toutefois de ne pas fixer la banne trop haut car sinon la manivelle n'est pas assez longue. Il serait aussi utile d'indiquer que la boulonnerie de fixation au mur fournie est faite pour des murs pleins (béton), sinon, il faut acheter d'autres systèmes de fixation pour briques ou parpaings comme un kit de scellement chimique. A ces petits "bémols" de montage, je recommande ce produit qui offre un excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Compré el toldo por las medidas, pero no conte con el mecanismo de los extremos, al querer instalarlo al ser entre paredes no encajaba, por lo que no pude, se ve de buena calidad. No le pongo cinco estrellas porque no lo probé siquiera. No lo devolveré por lo que cuestan los portes, lo venderé de segunda mano.

Firstly, let me say that I have a lot of experience putting things together. I have put several pieces of furniture together this year and I have put together dozens of items in the past 5 years and probably over 100 in the past 40 years. It's a good thing I have a lot of experience putting kits together and I also have a very large assortment of tools, both manual and power. On this awning kit, the instructions were abysmally bad and confusing. I basically relied on the diagrams, crude as they were, and less so on the actual written instructions, which was often wrong or missing steps. The steps were all over the place and not in sequence. Most instructions go sequentially, page by page for put together furniture and other items. Not here. With all my experience and background in DIY projects it took me 4 hours to put this awning together and install it on my deck. Now for the positives. It does look nice and works very well. I've used it for two days now and I am impressed. Let's see how it does 30 days or 180 days from now. I will attach pictures. The location is on the back of the house on a large, wooden deck.

Nice product, does what it advertises. A few quality control issues kept me from giving it 5 stars: First, beware of tightening the clamps too much on the upright support posts. The plastic will show white stress marks, a precursor to eventual material failure.The topmost clamps that fit into the ends of the top roller tube will not need much tightening to keep them from turning inward or outward, because the attachment to the roller tube will by itself hold the clamps in the proper orientation. Use just enough tightness to keep them and the roller tube from drifting down on the posts. Actually, once your installation is done, an extra screw installed through the clamp and the upright post will guarantee your roller never slides down. Second, the last pieces secured on each end of the roller tube (the d-washer and the shiny cap nut) leave too much looseness. That allows quicker wearing and distorting of the plastic bearing surfaces between the clamp and the roller tube. Before installing the awning, I put certain thicknesses of washers in that clamp-to-d-washer space to eliminate that way-too-loose fit. There should be the tiniest wiggle possible between the black support clamp and the d-washer, once that cap nut is tightened, so you can easily turn the washer(s) you added. If there is no wiggle room, it will be quite difficult to turn the manual crank handle to roll up or roll out the shade! Finally, the sewing on 2 velcro tabs at the ends of the security screen was poorly done, making the velcro only half effective. Actually, some velcro with more aggressive grabbing power would be better. Vevor, I offer you my services in product improvement for a very modest fee!

So far seems like a good quality awning for the price. Instructions have a little to be desired. I found instructions online and were able to zoom in on the instructions which made it clear for the steps to put together.

Overall a good product, easy to install and to use. I am waiting for the first windblow to see if it is strong enough.

Good product. Sturdier than expected. Happy with that. User must go very slow with picture directions. Bigger font would be better. Last part with spring especially confusing. Also could be difficult at times to use screws as holes did not always line up well. 2nd one went together easier than first. Once up, great! One person can assemble it until it needs to be erected. Then you really need 2. Easy to use. Does the job well. Satisfied.
