I am so glad I found this product. It has made our summers much more enjoyable. We live in Florida where the summer temperatures can reach a heat index of 118, and it is miserable. I have a very large back yard which my daughter and I enjoy being out in. But on some days it is so hot; especially around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, that we are miserable in the sun.
All I have to do is flip a switch and pull out the awning and we have instant shade. It feels like it is 15 to 20 degrees cooler. It can be adjusted to different heights. The supports can be set vertically on the floor, or angled back against the house. It has "locking" extension arms for durability. Can be attached to the floor of a deck or just extend from the wall of your home.
The advertisement says it installs in about 2 hours.......well, maybe if you had about 10 people helping you. My father and I put mine up in about 4 hours, and we are both very handy people.
You can also purchase screen "walls" that will zip onto the awning once it is fully opened. They have a manually operated version, which I have, and a motorized version for tired and worn out people, which I am becomming...haha. I have had mine for almost 4 years now and absolutely love it! We even grill under it in the rain, which they tell you not to do, but with it up high enough you can.
