## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the reel pole be installed on the left?**
A: Yes, can be switched to either side. I just installed one that was sent to me with reel pole on the left. I needed it to be on the right and switched it. This product was made for the side to be optional, tho the description does not indicate that and the installation instructions included don’t tell how to switch it.
Here’ how:
1. Locate the gear box with the reel pole ring on it.
2. Remove the gear box by removing the two bolts which attach it to the frame.
3. Note the square stud/axle of the awning role which slips into the gear box. It is part of the cap which pops into or out of the end of the role. Pop it out. You will install it on the other end in just a little while.
4. Now work on the other end of the role. It will now slip out of the frame. It has a round stud poking out of its cap. Remove the cap with the round stud. Remove the plastic receiving piece in which the stud rested by popping it out. You will install them into the other end in just a little while.
5. Now go back to the side from which you took the gear box and place the cap with the round stud into the role. Pop the plastic receiving piece into the frame. Insert the round studded end of the role into the plastic receiving piece and you are done with this side.
6. Now back to the other side where the gear box awaits. This is the trickiest part of the process. Fit the square studded axle into the gear box. Align the gear box such that the operating ring will be oriented down when the awning is installed. Affix the gear box to the frame using the same bolts you removed in step one. The trick is to keep the locking nuts in place while you do this, since there is not a lot of space to manipulate them. 
7. Pat yourself on the back and install the awning to the wall and let me know how it went.

**Q: Can this be mounted on our RV?**
A: We mounted it to the back of the house and our house is vinyl so do not see why you could not...now the part of driving down the road...might be a problem as it is not made for RV's and might not hold up against the wind hitting it as you are driving.

**Q: Can this be installed on stucco wall?**
A: You will have to find the studs which are behind your wall if it is a stick framed stucco wall.  Go into those studs by first using a masonry bit to drill through the stucco, then a regular bit for pilot hole for lag bolt or anchors.  I'm not sure it would hold if you only grabbed the sheathing under the stucco because that might only be 3/4" or 5/8" thick.

**Q: Can the hand crank be installed on either end?**
A: A: Yes, can be switched to either side. I just installed one that was sent to me with reel pole on the left. I needed it to be on the right and switched it.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is what it says it is........a sun shade awning!  Definitely worth the money and then some!
*by S***C on July 27, 2019*

I love the shade it provides and the width and length of the awning. I have (4) 4 ft X 4 ft tinted windows in my family room....2 on back deck. I wanted an awning that would extend to my deck rails. My intention was to put up 2 awnings (1 over each window) on back deck. I bought 1 to see how if would work for what I wanted. Have had it installed for a few weeks now and I am in the process of purchasing my second. Installation went smoothly because I read previous reviews. 2 things I read that were important. #1... If you are not installing on brick or concrete......go get wood bolts (comes with bolts for brick/concrete). #2....Don't leave unattended...lol. Be sure to roll up before you leave the house. If a storm rolls in, it will catch the air! I don't fully extend mine because I don't need to but also seems to be sturdier. I have not experienced any problems concerning #1 or #2 but I make sure to heed the warnings. I love this awning and can't wait to put the second one up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product that could use better installation instructions
*by J***N on July 1, 2018*

If you intend to install over a patio door on vinyl siding.. this might help you.If space is tight above the patio door (as in my case - see attached picture), then make sure you have at least 4" above the top bracket hole center to make room for the rolled up unit. Use a spacer behind the bracket if you need to so that the Torsion Bar clears the siding ends. In most homes, I believe there is normally a header above the patio door that you can drill into which is what I did. Confirm that you have about 3 inches of wood behind the siding - then you should be good. I used 5/16" x 4"L stainless steel lag bolts to secure the brackets to the siding wall after pre-drilling with a 7/32" drill.While mounting the awning to the brackets, you may or may not have to untie the roll and extend a little to gain access to the top side of the bracket to secure the nut. Lack of clear instructions led me to cause some minor damage. But their customer service is excellent and they addressed it promptly - which is why I am giving them 5 stars instead of 4.It is an excellent product if not for the poor instructions. As others have noted here, it may not withstand high winds and therefore I keep it only half extended to get relief from heat. I intend to keep it like that all thru' the warm weather and then fully retract it during winter. The awning can be extended more than 6 ft if needed.Not designed for heavy rain but with some help from your end, it could really keep your barbecure grill dry. During heavy rain, water collects in the middle of the shade and doesn't run off easily and begins dripping thru' the fabric which is not good. It has happened to me in the past when a steady downpour with winds gusting at 10 mph wouldn't let up while I was smoking ribs out on the deck when I had moved the grill under the awning that was extended out all the way.Review updated (in Sept 2021) with a fix for water not running off - that you see in the second picture.Jose

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install, performs as advertised.. so far.
*by M***N on August 15, 2020*

Installed by myself in under an hour. Used 3/8 x 3" lags (which you will have to provide). It comes assembled, all you need to do is mount the two brackets into something solid, lift it into place and install two bolts to keep it in place. If you can use a hand drill and turn a wrench, there's no reason to hire anyone. I'm a little skeptical of the engineering that went into this but, we'll see. So far, so good. Looks nice and keeps the noonday sun from blasting through my slider. I recommend reading the tips and looking at pictures provided by other reviewers before buying. I didn't even read the instructions.Edit:I had it about 1/3rd extended in the rain and noticed water pooling at the edge. Not good, water is heavy. When the rain stops, I'll adjust the angle down a bit and give it a little tilt to one side. Next step might be a few carefully placed pinholes to act as drains but, I'd rather not have to do that.
