Primrose 2.5m Manual Awning - Terracotta Mayfair DIY Patio Awning Gazebo Canopy (8ft 2") Complete with Fittings and Winder Handle

Bought this as an alternative to a garden umbrella because I've just decked the area in front of the conservatory. The awning arrived in very good time ahead of schedule, and was reasonably well packaged apart from the usual handling marks and rips to the cardboard from being in the back of a wagon, the awning itself was perfect with no damage.The main problem I had when I unpacked it and read the instructions was mounting the awning exactly where I wanted it on the conservatory, which is quite old and did not really allow room for the brackets, however as an engineer I easily got round that by making up some extension brackets which did the trick.The supplied brackets are very strong and I must say the whole awning is very well constructed and the finish is a good quality powder coating.Once installed, which took me a good day (this is because I had to mess about and find a way of mounting to my rather old conservatory, and did not want the bolts pulling through the thin aluminium) the awning works brilliantly, and is a joy to use.If you were mounting this to a wall or to a suitable flat fascia or a modern stronger conservatory or similar then the installation would be a breeze and would probably take no more than a couple of hours.Overall I am delighted with this purchase, and would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of buying one, the construction is good, and the fabric is a good quality thick waterproof fabric, and the mechanism is smooth and fully adjustable for angle etc.A well deserved five stars.

I have been debating whether to buy one of these for years. This year I thought I would take the plunge and searched the internet. I found that they were very expensive. I then looked on Amazon and found this one. The reviews were fantastic and the price was even better. I thought it was too good to be true and for 89.00 I thought what the hell, would order one and even if it only lasted a year it would be okay. It was ordered with the cover and the instructions were clear and it was easy to put up. Make sure you have the right drill bit but once we had popped to B and Q and had the right equipment it was quick. The product looks good and the materials look very good quality. Already friends have commented how great it looks. Now all we need is the bright sunshine so I can check it out!!!! Really pleased and great value for money. Would recommend.

very speedy delivery, well packaged ,quality looks good and a fair price .can't say more ,not yet fixed in place ,but satisfied thus far.

I contacted the manufacturers Primrose to ask a couple of questions about this and the very helpful young lady was amazed they were selling them so cheaply. Anyway on to the product.It is very simple to fit; I have rendered walls and didn't want to puncture that so fixed the shade to two substantial wooden uprights. Works perfectly. However there are two points that ought to be raised. The instructions are very good BUT the printing was so small you would need a microscope to read it. I scanned it in to my computer, enlarged it, cut out the English bit and laminated it.Secondly adjusting the level. This is done by slacking off two captive bolts and using another captive bolt to adjust. Unfortunately the adjustment bolt is too short it was at full lock and it still needed to be longer.Lastly it should be pointed out that when correctly fitted the two arms that support the awning are not supposed to be straight, they are supposed to have a slight bend so don't get all incredible hulk and try and straighten them.I am very pleased with this item. It is easy to erect, simple to extend and does the job very well. No problem with giving this top marks.

This awning is great value for money. It arrived within 3 days and was packed very well. Our son and son in law came to help to put it up. As we have stone walls we were a bit worried about getting all the holes drilled avoiding pebbles which would have been disastrous. Luckily all holes went perfectly and the awning was mounted to the brackets which had screwed in really well with the bolts sent out. The awning adjusts easily so the required level was achieved easily. The key is to measure several times, get the levelscorrect before you drill. There us a level built in to help so that has been covered too. When the awning is out one of the arms is at a slightly different angle from the other side. I think this is intentional. We are really pleased with the resulting awning. It covers a great area. We have purchased a cover for the winter but haven't used it yet. It looks ideal and comments from others are encouraging. All in all a great buy.

It looks good, works really well and great quality for the money. You have to get the brackets fitted right first time as you only really have one chance at that considering the size of holes you have to drill. So measure up carefully and make sure the holes are dead level from end to end. It will take two to get the awning into the brackets and once up the spirit level in the actual awning is a great idea as you can adjust. Once again the placement of the brackets are important as you can only adjust the tilt level of the canopy if you have the brackets as far apart as is possible. As I said at the beginning it does look good when up so much so my son is going to get one.

This is a superb product, worthy of 5+ stars, at what I paid.It is easy to instal, even 3 floors up on a balcony. It then looks superb.NOW: instructions not bad if you have a magnifier.Spray the fabric with water repellant before you fit it to the wall.ideal bolting holes not easy, because of mortar or header* bricks above opening for doors. *point up not horizontal.I used Rawlplug heavy duty expanding bolts to secure the brackets. Better if into a modern cavity wall.Measure bracket location with at least 15mm space from the end fixings: easier to offer and fit the unit.Use an open ended spanner (17mm) to adjust the angle and level of the awning, once up.I fitted the whole thing on my own, with a step ladder and powerful drill. It has taken 4 hours. I need a shower !!

I was looking for an awning on Amazon and was attracted by the 5 star reviews of this one, I used to work for a company that supplied and fitted this type of blind and was amazed at the quality, its well made all powder coated and looks like it will last a good few years, the fitting is easy , it even comes with a built in spirit level so you can get the front bar true if you change the pitch angle,(nice touch), I am a really fussy git on quality but I cannot flaw this awning so far , totally recommended, Phil, Ok I need to update this review I will still give this awning 4 stars because the build quality and service is still great, however I was winding in the blind to let the window cleaner do our top floor when the roller which was under tension came off narrowly missing my head, then the winch end fell off the end too, on inspection I noticed the bolts on this and the other end were not as tight as they should be to stop them from moving causing one end to come off the roller, Primrose were fine and have replaced the awning but buyers should check that all the fittings are as tight as possible before extending the awning also its worth going to the local iron mongers and getting some better wall bolts as the supplied ones are not the best, still a great product that looks good ,just check all those bolts and be happy,Phil
