ADVANING 16'X10' Motorized Patio Retractable Awning | Classic Series | Premium Quality, 100% Acrylic UV Sun Shade Awning, Color: Natural Beige Stripes, EA1610-A332H

This is a bueatiful awning at a great price compared to the heavily advertised models on TV. It’s an easy installation with two people and it is very well constructed with quality materials as well as the included hardware. Take time measuring before you drill and the rest is easy. In south Florida the rain can be just as brutal as the sun. The fabric is water repellent but it won’t handle a heavy rain or wind. We retract it when expecting either one. The motorized model is awesome, but the remote is just weird, but it works fine. All in all we love it but just know what to expect!

Did quite a bit of research. Certainly paid off this time. Customer service was excellent as was shipping communication. Product arrived on time and was in a very sturdy set of packaging.Followed the install video and found bracket placement very straightforward, no issues. Brackets (3) took about an hour to install once studs were located. If there is a key it is to find the studs and to make sure end brackets are within a foot of ends to avoid braces on awning mounting brackets. Otherwise son helped to actually mount the awning which was done in less that 10 minutes. The bracket design aids in easy install.Operation of the awning is smooth and very quiet.This is perhaps on the costlier side as self install awnings go but having seem cheaper products, the quality of materials and ease of installation are exceptional and IMO a good investment since this will get a lot of use. Equally there are so called "top of the line" awnings that are installed by regional contractors. Having seen those as well I truly cannot see that they are better quality. If you view the video and are comfortable with finding studs, a drill and a level, this is an easy install IMO.Will circle back to update after a summer of use.

This is the best awning I have ever had. The crank to roll it out and back up is easy to maneuver even for someone that is not very strong. I am so happy that I checked the reviews on Amazon on Sundowner before I purchased an awning. Then I saw Advaning awnings and their reviews and was happy to read the reviewers comments. Advaning awning is the best thing I have done for my deck and for our outside living.The awning is everything they said it was, it rolls in and out easily and allows the heat to evaporate up and out of the awning fabric. It does not trap heat under the awning as i other company awnings. I like the neutral beige color because it doesn't detract from other colors and is neutral enough to not draw the eye. I think the fabric is fairly water resistant although it is not sold as water resistant, I notice if accidentally left extended that the area under the awning does not get wet. I really like the construction of the awning and the easy glide of the awning rails that extend it out. The mechanism is very smooth and sturdy. Thanks Advaning Awnings.

So far, it's a great awning. We installed the 16' X 10' model. Installation was straight-forward but not trivial. It is critical to make sure that you screw the lag screws directly in to the center of the studs. I was able to measure exactly where the studs were from inside the garage. I would be leery about relying on a stud finder to find the exact center of a stud. The brackets are heavy duty and it's a good thing because there will be a lot of load on them with a 16' awning in even the slightest breeze. My only concern about this awning is the load on the three brackets. I would have felt better if there were four or even five brackets to support it. The awing appears to be made of quality materials and weighs about 120 lbs. I can't think of any reasonable way to install it on the brackets without having two people to hoist it up. The awning is exactly what we needed to provide shade for our car. I would like to have seen a recommended wind speed (in MPH) that this awning can safely handle before it needs to retracted. There is no wind speed (in MPH) listed in the manual that I can find. Also, there is no wind speed sensor available from the manufacturer that would automatically retract the awning if the wind got too high. So, I will now be glued to to the daily weather forecast or maybe will put up my own anemometer (yippee, another project).

We have an extended patio and lots of sun in the backyard, so we decided a retractable awning was the way to go. I came THIS CLOSE to buying a heavily advertised brand, but then I did some research online and found that not only was Advaning more highly rated but its price was lower. Winner!Then the only decision was their Luxury line or Classic series … and frankly, the colors of the Classic series suited me better. We went with the 13’ motorized shade in Canvas Umber. Its metal bracket / casing is gray, and the brown/gray combo looks great on the house.The 13’ shade went up easily – granted, we have two strong home improvement-oriented men in the family and they got it up by drilling directly into our stucco/concrete patio headers to position the brackets. Once the brackets were up, the awning slid right into place. Plugged it in and voila! Fast, quiet, instant shade. Love the stylish remote control which we have mounted on the wall using their included bracket.We loved it so much we decided to purchase a second one, this time 16’ long, and placed it right next to the first one, so every foot of our extended patio is now covered.The Owner’s Manual provided easy step by step instructions. The awning itself is heavy, so be prepared to have two or three people to lift it up and slide it into position. I have included some photos of the installation and finished project.

I am really happy to have this awning shade installed. It add shade and beautiful to my sunny backyard. Thanks for great product!
