Great concept but my awning was slightly warped from bottom to top, bottom sat straight and top sat crooked. I fixed this by cable tying the top to our gazebo and pulling it back round to sit flat. One side of the awning material will not sit flat without buckling. Not sure if my deck is slightly higher on one side and causing this, or awning not quite square. Most of the parts are metal but there are some plastic parts, like the handles, that I'm not sure will last that long in the sun. Overall...
