Sol 27 Outdoor Fabric Cover Retractable Patio Awning

As mentioned in other reviews this is a 2 person job and assembly can result in arguments ! You get written instructions and picture instructions which just about do the job , but it wasn’t easy to figure out at all. Especially the location or order of some of the bits. We brought different wall fixings as the ones supplied didn’t look strong enough. It does the job I wanted it for , but I’m not sure how long it will last Took about 4 hours to do all together. Requires patience !

I would never purchase one of these again it came with quite a few parts damaged and bent and very difficult to build with the bent parts, also the wall fixings were terrible and did not open up in the wall so had to go and purchase new ones from builders merchants. My complete experience from delivery to product has been terrible!!’

Brilliant just what I needed and very easy to install.

The instructions for the assembly and installation of this product are beyond a simple DIY person. Only experienced DIY people should takle this awning because:- 1. The instructions are in gibberish translated from chinese by a chinese person and do not make clear sence. 2. Some instructions are missing, particularly where to fasten the mounting brackets on the wall. 3. Where and how to mount the 'blockers'. 4. The fixing bolts for the brackets are not suitable for using with hollow bricks. New fixings had to be bought. 5. It is impossible to mount the unit on the wall once it has been completely assembled due to the weight and being able to mark and secure the bolts on the brackets. 6. The mounting brackets should be fixed with only the mounting bar, before the canvass and roller have been added to it. 7. The bolts to hold the unit to the brackets cannot be fitted as instructed because the roller and canvass obscure the holes for the bolts. They have to be inserted from below, not above as instructed. 8. Once built using initiative and mods to the instructions and new fixing bolts it has performed very well.

Issue with build quality , awaiting product support .. be warned as the old saying goes .. you get what you pay for
