VIVOHOME Polycarbonate Window Door Awning Canopy

Nice design lightweight and fairly easy to attach

Installed a month ago, very easy I have the double unit. When assembled it looks really not sturdy so I used clear heavy duty outside glue around the frame. Also we put the awing on the board first then up above the patio door. Im in the Cascades we got 6 inch snow - ice ,wind so far holding very good! Of course I clean the snow as much as possible but under that I have half inch of ice. MY ONLY CONCERN THE SNOW WILL SLIDE FROM THE ROOF. I will update .,, It is really worth the money especially if you're live in mild or warmer climate! !

I had read lots of reviews about these awnings. I chose this one because the material was polycarbonate and clear. It is far more durable then pvc or plexiglass. The material is bade like a plastic sort of cardboard and is somewhat flexable. People talked about it being dificult to assemble but honestly it was not I did all but the hanging of the 2 sections by myself.
The first and most dificult part of the assembly is getting the first pannel bent and in place. I attached the metal rail to the top of the first section. Lined up the pannel and slipped the pannel in the first metal edge. I unstained one of the self threading screws into the plastic arch then slipped the pannel in. I used lots of painters tape to securely hold the pieces together. Then I bent the pannel to shape and installed tge bottom rod. Screwed it in place and taped the assembly together. Basically followed that pattern through the rest of the instalation. Since I had a 2 piece awning it came with 3 arch supports. I assembled one with 2 arches and one with only one. Worked like a champ. Then I installed 2 2x4's on the side of my house making sure I got screws through the siding, insulation board and into the studs. I had my son help me hold the sections in place while I screwed the arches in place. Worked very well. It's very solid and has already protected the garage door from several strong storms with high winds. Looks great and works perfectly.
A little paint and I'll be all done
