    I wasn't aware that we were getting the awning and I wasn't in the home when it was done since it was a surprise for me. Since getting the awning from SunSetter, it’s made a big difference in our deck because it used to get full sun from 10:00 in the morning until sundown. Seeing it was a nice surprise.

    SunSetter is a known brand. And when I bought my house here, there was an old SunSetter on the back. Apparently, I bought the house with a manual crank model, and it was stuck open and jury-rigged all kinds of ways. And when the wind would blow hard, it would just beat my house to death.

    So, when I first moved in, I thought I’d replace it, which my wife also agreed. And I called and checked on the pricing because they used to have a place up in Boston right near where a buddy of mine lived. So, it seemed pretty reasonable with a veteran’s discount. But my wife said if it’s 2,000, we’re not doing it. So, we did not.

    So, after my wife passed, I started working on my home, and I decided to replace that SunSetter. And what I wasn’t really aware of was that there are too many different companies that made them. So, I went back to SunSetter through Costco, since I’m a Costco member, to order my new SunSetter and to get discounts through Costco.

    When I ordered, the representative went through the details of my order. And I actually even had a local person call some local company to try to see if they could help me with the whole experience, which I turned them away because I was going to install it myself. 

    The product itself is fine, but I filed huge complaints because of the complete lack of communication during the shipping and ordering process. To be told that it would be on the way, there was a complete lack of updates. I had no clue when it was going to be coming or shipped. And they blamed it on the transportation company.

    But the bottom line was that trying to get tracking information and trying to find out where my product was after I ordered was impossible. It was a horrid experience. And I told SunSetter I’d never order their crap again as a result. Even though I like the awning that I have, the experience of the shipping and the lack of communication were disgusting.

    We needed something that protected the west side of our house, where our patio was, to keep a bit of the heat off. After a lot of work, we decided to buy SunSetter because of the quality, even though it was considerably more expensive than some alternatives. We chose a 16-foot awning. It goes out to 112 with a speckled gray color. There is not a SunSetter installation company in our area, so I had to have local contractor do it. Once he figured things out, he installed it quickly. Functionality is great. It deflects the beating sun, which is what we try to keep away from. I would recommend it.

    We had Sunsetter awning installed at my mom’s house but it was old. So after she passed away, I became the owner of the house and I decided to replace it because it started ripping. It was the same awning as previous. Same color, size and it was remote controlled.

    The awning itself is very durable and it keeps all the light out. But I didn't want to pay $800 for an independent contractor because the awning itself is very expensive. So, I paid a couple of guys to hang it and I don't think they've adjusted it right because when it rains, water pools in it and also the right side when you're looking it towards the house it's not completely tight the way it should be.

    I bought a house that has an awning and after a couple of years, the aluminum arm on the awning broke and we can’t weld aluminum so we needed to replace the awning. I got in touch with a business located in Mooresville and they do a lot with SunSetter Awnings.

    They had a salesperson from SunSetter come out and show me what they had available and we made a choice. I did a little bit of online reviewing and SunSetter seemed to be a reliable organization and a lot of people had satisfactory service from them. I went ahead and arranged to have our awning replaced.

    The lady who did the presentation knew what she was doing. She knew how to establish a personal relationship. She was a good salesperson. She didn’t come in with strong arm tactics and she was willing to listen to what we wanted and what we didn't want and made a recommendation based on the criteria we had set.

    The price of the awning doesn’t include installation and that was all revealed upfront. There were no hidden charges. The lady gave us a ballpark figure, and it was what we were charged for.

    The installation went well. The team came on time and they installed it. They seemed to know what they were doing and then they told me how much it would cost and it was what I was expecting. I wrote out a check and got a receipt and everything went according to plan.

    You can get cheap awnings that you can install yourself. But I decided not to go that route because I’m not a handyman and I didn’t have a lot of confidence that I would do it in a way that would be professionally done and would last. I would have been happier if the overall price had been lower, but it was not out of line with what I was seeing on the internet.

    We moved into a new condo complex, where SunSetter was the only approved awning. It had to be a specific pattern, which was what we chose, the river rock. We ended up getting the installation and purchase through Costco, and they gave us a shopper's credit.

    The awning was on our patio, and we liked to sit out there and read. The quality was great. It's just so easy to use. It blocks the sun, and it looks lovely.

    But there was something wrong with the sensor. It kept closing after 15 minutes. We had somebody come out three times. They were very responsive.

    The guy from SunSetter was a nice young man came out and did a presentation. I wasn’t thrilled as I had a problem with high-pressure sales tactics. He was that came was very polite but he would not leave my table, and I was ready for him to leave. It was not my intention to purchase anything that day. I was going to get several other quotes but I ended up with SunSetter Awning. A local company did the installation and I got bad advice on where to hang it. During the day, sometimes it blocks the sun.

    People should talk to somebody on the phone before having them into your house. It’s easier to deal with the high-pressure sales part on the phone as opposed to when the person is sitting at your kitchen table.

    SunSetter has been excellent. I chose a 16-foot awning and it goes out eight feet. We paid for the one with an automatic where you can open and close it with an opener. We also paid for the sensor so if the wind gets up 15 miles an hour, the awning senses the wind and it goes back in. The installer was a super good guy. I knew him and he was in and out in about three hours. He did a good job.

    My wife has been out there every day during the summer since it was put in. She loves being outside and the awning is the only way she can be outside after 11:00. I have no complaints. I already told two people about SunSetter.

    Overall, I am very pleased with the awning and would definitely purchase it again. It was a rough start because there are various ways to attach it to the house and they automatically sent option 1 instead of discussing it prior to purchase. Once we finally had all the correct parts the process was very smooth. It does a great job of keeping out the heat during the summer. The remote control was a great decision. I also purchased the wind sensor and highly recommend it also. My deck is very elevated and catches a lot of wind.

    I appreciate that there are several levels of sensitivity so I can have it automatically retract long before the wind picks up. It is very weatherproof also. If it is extended during rain, I can still enjoy being under it and no rain gets through because the fabric protects that well. I have recommended this product to several neighbors who have admired it. I live on a private golf course and it has been a very positive addition to the back of the home that golfers see.

    We bought a Sun Setter awning for our back patio, had it installed 11/23. I live in Chicago, so did not use the awning during the winter. Used it without issue the following spring. The motor went out at the end of the season, we called for service the following spring. We did not purchase the extended warranty. The service man came out and told us the company had a bad batch of motors in 2023, and he has been busy replacing them. While on the phone with customer service to address the motor issue as they were charging 250.00 for the service call and 500.00 for the motor, the motor being replaced was spring loaded and flew off its mounting onto our new customer pool cover, putting a hole in the cover.

    The individual from sun setter on the phone heard the encounter in real time. We were told to send a picture of the cover to the company with the bill. We did, got an email stating that the bill would be paid directly to the pool cover company on 7/7/25. Shortly thereafter, the pool company sent a detailed bill, as per sunsetter request. Sunsetter said the bill was too large and would not be paying. Sunsetter then told us to go to small claims court (they actually said to go to Judge Judy). The bill has not been paid by sunsetter. I would not recommend sunsetter to anyone! They get 1 star because I can’t give 0 stars

    I bought a Sunsetter awning from Costco 25 years ago and I've since bought a couple more. It's been an excellent experience from the get-go. I did the installation myself and this last one that I put in, I had some trouble getting things to go in. I had to use a hammer. It seemed like the tolerances were a little too tight, but it was more about the enclosure cover 'cause I bought one of those aluminum ones, not the cloth. It could be how I installed the awning too. It would help with a little slack here and there, but that's not even a big concern. Other than that, the awning is an excellent product and I really like it.

They're very concerned about cleanliness, so they wore shoe covers on their shoes, and they cleaned everything up when they were done. The installation went fine. They were really good, and it was a good experience all the way around.

    We got an awning that is 18-foot wide, comes out 11 feet, and is perfect for our upper deck. We live in Seattle and it’s been really hot here, but the SunSetter awning changes everything. We put the awning out in the morning or extend it in the afternoon, to keep the house cooler. It provides shade to the house, and does exactly what we thought it would do. We also included lights and an automatic wind retractor in it. However, it was over our budget because the quality of the fabric was important for us. It was okay for us to pay extra because we don’t want it to deteriorate in time and to have mildew.

We ordered directly and we had to pay big chunk of tariff money for it. They also replaced an umbrella that we had because it was faulty. We still have it and we really like it. They work really well and we’ve had some of them for 15 years.

    I came across a Costco flyer for products they were selling. I thought Costco was selling it at a discount with installation included. It seemed like a generous discount and it was something we’d always wanted for our backyard. So we decided to move forward.

    What they do is outsource the work to a third-party private construction company that regularly installs these items. They did it through Costco, but they also install it directly for customers who aren't Costco members.

    I went online and researched the typical cost of installing a SunSetter awning. The awning that we installed is probably one of the most expensive awnings because it's the maximum size that SunSetter sells. It’s a 20-ft awning and it has almost all of the auxiliary accessories attached to it, so I was expecting it to be on the more expensive side.

    As far as the awning is concerned, I didn't have any contact with anyone from Costco. I went on a website to place the order. It was a Costco website. I guess someone from Costco called up this construction company. I can’t remember the name. And then that person reached out to me, made an appointment to show the product and take measurements.

    The installers, the crew who came out arrived exactly when they said they would. They put it up faster than I expected based on the timeframe they gave me, and everything has worked perfectly since then.

    The install was good. They sent out these two younger gentlemen to do it. They tried so hard to do it, but we have a very old home and they could not find the studs to attach it to. They worked and worked. They were up and taking pictures and moving things. They worked on it for an hour. They were very diligent and nice, then they called us and they went back. They said, "We'll go back and get this figured out." He took a lot of pictures.

The person who came out the first time happened to be his son. He came out the second time and had the whole thing up within a short period of time.

    SunSetter seemed to be the best reputable brand out there. We needed an awning because we wanted to use our outside deck more often. It just seemed to be the most cost-effective for our needs. It’s good. I would tell others that it's just a great product.

    What we got was probably pretty basic. It's 14 feet wide, 10x14. And the only feature it has is the LED lighting. I would say the installation was top-notch, in and out. You wouldn't even know they were there. I think it's very well built.

    The company that came in and installed was not being overly pushy with the salesman. They told me what their opinion was, and what I needed in their opinion. And the installers came out. They were quick, clean, and quiet. You wouldn't even know they were there. It was seamless.

    The only concern I have is that we're always worried about how much wind it can actually take before it gets ripped off the house, and it's not necessarily a manufacturer’s concern.

    Any time it starts to move, we get nervous.

    We hurry up and just put it down because we're afraid that it’s gonna be blown in the wind. It's really nice, and we don't want it to get ruined.

They sent people out here who were supposedly experts and they were not listening to what we told them.

    They didn't follow basic instructions, they ruined our siding and they put the awning directly over our window, which means it would show from the inside, which is not what we told them. We told them it had to be centered. They were a joke and we were extremely mad.

    When they did it the second time, they sent out a guy who actually knew what he was doing. The guys that fixed the siding did a great job.

    I bought a SunSetter for my primary residence five years ago from Costco. Couldn’t beat the sale at the time. We really enjoyed the awning there. And then for our beach place, it was really not much to think about.

    I did the purchase through the Costco website, and then it transfers you over to the SunSetter website. And then the Excel version of the SunSetter website is a little bit confusing. It goes up to 12 feet versus 10 on the regular. It takes a few times going through it to understand what it is you’re ordering. So, the website could be a little bit clearer.

    There was also no presentation and no installation team because I installed it myself. I just hope that they would label the motor end on the cardboard tube that it ships in for somebody doing it themselves. Because it happened to me twice that I set it in place, and both times after pulling it out, I found that I had to flip-flop it.

    Installing the awning was above average. The 20-foot awning is a heavy piece. Installing the brackets was straightforward. But the awning is gonna be 8 to 10 feet above the surface you're working from, so you need to prepare getting it up. And the awning I got is electric and retractable. It has the wind sensor.

    I bought a free standing motorized Oasis awning from Sunsetter. All in with delivery and installation I paid almost $4k. It worked like a charm for the summer and I was very pleased. During the winter I unplugged it and used the cover they provided for the awning which frankly was impossible to put on and ended up having to bungee cord it. When spring came I plugged it back in and the remote control no longer worked. I replaced the battery in case that was it but it wasn’t. I followed the reset procedures multiple times and that did not work.

    I called the distributor I purchased this from who finally came out and he was unable to get it started and suggested I call the company as it was likely the motor. This was still under warranty at this point. The company said they would send me a new motor but I had to pay $58 to have it sent to me and when I shipped the old motor back they would reimburse me. Also, installation of the new motor was up to me to either do myself or pay for. It took over 6 weeks to get the motor and the link for instructions on how to install it does not work. It’s August now and I have still been unable to use this awning. This was the worst decision to purchase from Sunsetter. They really do not care one bit.

    We ordered our SunSetter Awning based on the price and the timeline for delivery and installation. Some companies took at least twice as long before we even saw anything.

    It was done professionally and they were very careful with the installation details. We have a metal pergola that was built into our next house and I was concerned about the weight of the batteries since it’s about nine feet in the air. I was worried about both their safety and the structure’s ability to support the weight, but they handled everything carefully, which I appreciated.

    The awning is semi-transparent and the color matches our house. It's a tan color, and it’s solar-power with remotes. The price is a little higher than I expected.

    I've had a SunSetter before and it was the older one. It was about 15 years old. And because I've become so old, it was very difficult to unroll it. I got an automatic, and I love it. We live in the South, we get to go out quite a bit. And in the evenings, in particular, after the sun goes down, it's really very comfortable. We love it.

    I've got the wind sensor feature. It has saved us on several occasions. SunSetter is absolutely wonderful. It gives you an extra room outside. And it's beautiful and quite attractive.

    I had done business with SunSetter in my previous home, and I liked their product, so I did it again. It took about half an hour to get a response after setting it up online. Then I called for someone to come over. The gentleman we purchased from at our first home came out again. I told him what I wanted and where I wanted it, and he went through his book.
    We then had it approved by the HOA in order to get it done. We have a SunSetter awning that is automatic. I like that it retracts by itself when there’s a very strong gust of wind.

    We had a recent neighborhood get-together at our home, and all our neighbors came around. They were very curious about our awning because it’s 16 feet in length. They really loved it. In fact, three of them are actually going to call to inquire about it for themselves.

    We're in an HOA where we have a townhome on a lake, and SunSetter was the only option we could use per the bylaws. Because it's on a lake, they also have certain laws and bylaws on what it can look like. We couldn't pick out the color ourselves. We started the process in the fall and got it in the spring. They did the installation in the off-season when we weren't there. I know a lot of people have gotten them over there because we’d lost all our trees. It definitely protects the shade. We really like it. It's like a whole nother little room on our deck for us. It cost a fortune, but we're happy with it. We did have an issue where one of the parts that you rolled down had an imperfection in it. It almost looked like it was from production. And so, they did send us a new piece and that came fairly quickly. Hopefully, if we ever have any other issues, the warranty would be good.

    The purchase itself online was easy. Installation never happened. I called the SunSetter-recommended installer, which was the only one in my area. They actually unpackaged and opened the material. It was a very large, automated, detached awning for a patio. It was one of their biggest ones. When they pulled it out of the tube, the main central structural arms, the metal arm on it was completely cleaved through and broken at a weld. So I ended up having to pay them $428. Because they had to bring a machine out, three guys, and all that kind of stuff to get this installed. They basically weren't gonna come out for free. They wasted their time. It wasn't their fault that it was broken. So I paid them. Then I had to go through a very lengthy and painful process with SunSetter Awnings to get it returned and refunded. But they still haven't refunded me the installation fee that I had to pay for no reason.

    It took about four months. I called him that day and started the whole process with them. But it still took four months to get my money back, and it was a little over $5,000. They haven't paid me at all. I had to call them to say I couldn't even lift the thing, the packaging, because it was so huge and so heavy. It was just left where the delivery folks dropped it on my yard. So I use their recommended installer. And even to this day, they still haven't refunded me for that.

The only thing I've noticed about it is that if it's windy, it doesn't go in. It's supposed to have a sensor that, if it detects heavy winds, it's supposed to roll back in, and it's never done that.

We got an awning with a remote, which is really great because we can put it out as far as we want. Some of our furniture is closer to the house where the awning is, so we don't have to put it all the way out.

    Everyone at SunSetter was very professional. They helped us wait until we got insurance approval and got the awning installed. The installers were very nice gentlemen and got it done pretty quickly. The only issue was the first gentleman I started working with kind of all of a sudden just disappeared, and we didn't know why.

    I bought my house 25 years ago and had an old time SunSetter installed on it, which I inherited when I bought the house. I enjoyed the heck out of it, and it got so old. There were issues with it and it needed to go.

    Then we replaced the whole upper deck and I thought now's a golden opportunity. So we bought a brand spanking new one, the newfangled kind. It has a sensor that'll retract if it gets too windy. We chose not the lights because there are a lot of bugs around here in Indiana. So, we didn't want the light package. But we got a really nice one. It's 25 foot wide and about 10 foot out. It's marvelous. I love it.

    I like the push button automatic where it retracts and extends just by pushing a button. Then, if it gets too windy, it'll automatically retract for me. Those are the two biggest features that I like about it.

    It’s a really good product, and we enjoy it immensely. It's a very superior product to what it was 25 years ago, especially the lightness of it.

    I wasn't really thrilled about my options about installers. Because it took quite a while to get an installer to have the product, deliver the product and install the product. That was a frustrating thing. Because I knew I wanted the product but I was having difficulty getting it here at my home. But the people who installed it seemed to know what they were doing. They've done it before. They were spot-on about what needed to happen, a whole different application from my previous one.

    This one's roof-mounted rather than side of the house mounted. And it's a little bit taller. Just a total different application. But it's a whole different product than it was 25 years ago and I was somewhat pleased with the people that installed it.

    I have direct sun on my deck and I can't go out there until almost evening. We are Costco members and there were incentives and discounts, which made it the best place to purchase an awning. I also researched SunSetter, and the reviews and quality looked good. We put in a request to meet with a representative. He came to my home, stayed about an hour and fifteen minutes and did a great presentation with no pressure. We decided to sign that evening. The incentive was a $2,300 Costco shop card, which I could spend at Costco, and that was helpful since we shop there a lot.

    Three installers came out and when I came out the slide door, I introduced myself. It was unique and I liked it a lot that after I did that, each one of them stepped forward and said their names, how long they had been working and putting awnings up. That usually doesn't happen with contractors. So, we all became on a first-name basis, which was nice. Midway through, the foreman asked if I had 12- to 15-inch zip ties. I did, so I went to my shop, found an unopened bag, and brought it to them, which allowed them to continue. When they were done, they knocked on the door and told me they would show me how it works. They explained all the controls, including the lights and how to extend and bring back the awning. Everything seemed to work flawlessly.

    The installation was neat and tidy. I looked for something out of place or something that would cause me to say they need to fix it. And I couldn't find anything. I thanked them all by name, and they left. The installer was good at his job and had a lot of time in that position. He didn't seem to care if he got a sale or not. He cared about what you wanted. He knew the product thoroughly, explained the LED lights, fabric, and all features, and answered all questions quickly. I was happy with the installation. The awning I purchased is the largest SunSetter makes, which is a 13-foot extension by 20-feet wide, and the total cost was $13,000. And then I got $2,300 back on the Costco shop card. For 11 grand, I got the awning I have with the fabric I wanted with lights in it and completely installed.

    My neighbor used SunSetter, which was how I came to know about it, and when I reached out, the provider was very nice. The awning seems to be working fine though I haven’t had it long. The rep who sold it to me was very helpful and I’m very happy with SunSetter.

    SunSetter's awning is great. I got the best one that I could get. It has the lights and if there's too much wind, it closes on its own. It's a nice unit and it's very solid. The company that I purchased the unit from did a great job installing it. We got the awning for shade. The deck is exposed to the sun most of the day. The sun comes in on one side in the morning, then on the other side, we have trees that block the sun when it sets 'cause it goes from east to west. When the sun's out, we have the curtain that goes down in the front. We just have to crank it down and that works fine. I don't have an issue with the awning, but I have an issue with the installer and the company that I purchased the unit from.

    I was very specific when I ordered the awning that I wanted privacy to one side of the deck because we have neighbors over there and we're in close proximity. I wanted to have that privacy and it doesn't afford much privacy at all. That was the only thing I'm not satisfied with, but that was a very important thing. The guy assured me that that would be a great feature and it's not. I also ordered a shield for one side of the awning going down to the deck and that was absolutely useless. It's stiff and doesn't follow the configuration of the slant on the awning itself. The way they installed it also was an issue, but one would have to see it to understand. Other than that, the awning works fine.

    I heard about SunSetter on television and purchased their awning because of the brand name. The people knew what they were talking about and the awning suits our needs really well. The quality is great.

    We’d seen the SunSetter commercials and there was a perfect spot on my back porch facing south to have the awning. The salesman recommended to go a single color and said it would blend. He was a very good sales guy and it was a nice recommendation. I recommend SunSetter. The awning looks great and it tracks when the wind blows. I had the space and the awning works as advertised. It's almost perfect.

    SunSetter is the biggest name out there and we’ve been wanting an awning for a long time. I went with a local contractor and he was good. But the trucking company lost the awning twice. My contractor got on the phone with the trucking company and somebody from SunSetter because he had two other awnings that were missing. The woman from the trucking company found the awning, but instead of the four weeks that SunSetter told me, it took about seven because they remade it three times. The awning is 12 by 16, motorized, with the sunscreen in the front, and it has stripes. The awning makes our outside experience a lot more pleasant than dealing with the heat. It makes our evenings from being inside to enjoyable outside. The only thing I wish I could use it for is when it rains. But I know I can't.

    We're very happy with SunSetter. The presentation went very well and the install went smoothly. The installers did a good job. They were very nice. They were initially thinking of attaching the product in one spot, but that wasn't gonna work out. We've figured out another way, and it worked out very well. We're pleased with the product. We've only had it a few months but the quality seems great. Overall, we did have a good experience.

    My husband helped our friend install his SunSetter awning. When we moved into our new home, we decided to get one, too, because it's cool. We got ours through Costco because it's always a great deal through Costco. We opted for self-installation, and we didn't have any troubles with it. We've already recommended SunSetter to two friends.

    We have a patio that we couldn't use very easily without shade, so it made the most sense to get an awning. We've heard of SunSetter Awnings and we looked at different ones too, but SunSetter was familiar. We got a rollout type of awning from them. It's an automatic rollout, so it's got the wind sensor. As far as the installation process, they came in and had it in in about four hours. They didn't take very long. So far, the awning has performed just fine. It gives us more time to be able to sit out there when it's hot and sunny, and it helps shade some of the plants that we have out there.

    My wife wanted an awning and we happened to see an ad for SunSetter, and we followed up on it. The purchase experience was great and the awning came earlier than I expected. I did the installation myself. I attached it to the house and to set it up, I had to buy some blocks. We have the 13-foot extended model so it can be tricky in the wind, and the first time, it went up quickly. It was not even a super-strong gust. I had to get some poles and camping things that extend. It’s now hooked up to my railing permanently. So, I don't have to worry about wind. It’s a very nice setup.

    We use the awning to keep the sun off. We have a nice deck out back and there’s a lot of sun on it. The awning helps us use the deck as protection, but also for sunny days. We have double sliding glass doors, and in the afternoon, the sun hits them hard. The awning stops a lot of heat from getting into the house. It works great for us. We had one issue with the wind, but we’re near a lake so we get stronger gusts from the open area.

    We don't have a front porch, and the only place that we can lounge is in the back, and the sun is brutal. So, my wife decided to get an awning. I was totally against it, but I have enjoyed it, so far. We went with SunSetter. It took one day for the installation. A thing that I wasn't aware of is when the awning goes out, it shields you from the sun, but it shields you from the rain as well. I was pleasantly surprised with that.

    I researched about SunSetter online and had them years ago on another house. When I decided to use them this time, the service was very good. The company called and the reps came out right away. They did the measurements and when the awning came in, they called me right away and got me set up for the installation. The awning is doing the job that I wanted it to do. It's keeping the sun off my deck and working perfectly fine.

    I heard about SunSetter through Costco and my overall experience has been good. The installation went very smoothly, and the installers were very professional and did a good job. Overall, the process went well. But now that it’s been a couple of months, the awning is no longer level with the horizon and is slightly tilted. I checked the roof and did not see any visible damage, but I am concerned and I was gonna contact the installer about it. I have the wireless module that allows you to hook up your phone so you can control it remotely and the program is extremely difficult to understand and get working. I don't have that working as of today and I just gave up on it. One day, I'll probably go back and try to figure it out again. But I got frustrated and decided it's not worth it. Overall, I would recommend SunSetter, but I would advise others not to get the wireless adapter.

But it got to a point where I decided to spend the money and get it. So, we did. We love the awning. We had a question about the remote that takes the awning in and out so, I called the number, and it happened to be the owner. So, we talked to her. She came out and sold it to us.

    Ordered the 10 ft manual awning through Costco and within a reasonable amount of time it arrived at my home. However, the hood did not arrive. Several phone calls to SunSetter, resulted in them sending me the hood, which took about two more weeks. The problem was with the shipping company, but SunSetter did everything to make it right for me, which I greatly appreciated, so high praise to their customer service team.

    As for the materials, top quality, very sturdy. My only complaint is with the design of the mounting brackets that have upper and lower lag bolt holes, for the wall mount. Once the awning is in place those lower lag bolts are behind the awning cross bar and can't be accessed without taking the awning back down. After a couple of storms with wind and rain it appears that a couple of lower lag bolts could use a bit of tightening, but alas, I can't get to them. Upper bolts can be accessed with the top fully extended so that's good, and they weren't loose at all. The mounting brackets should have lower bolt holes BELOW the cross bar, not behind it.

    SunSetter does recommend rolling up the awning if high wind is expected. All well and good if you are home at the time. Yesterday's storm also had severe lightening, and I was home when it hit, but I chose not to run out there with the 4 ft METAL POLE in my hands to retract the awning. Maybe the pole should be fiberglass.

    We have a very hot back deck that wasn’t as usable as we would like it to be, so we decided it was time to get an awning. Sunsetter is affiliated with Costco, and we shop at Costco all the time, so that was what pushed it over the edge for us.

    Their people are nice. They came out and delivered it right to the house. It came in a very timely manner, quicker than I actually thought it was going to. And it does what we want it to do. It has the controller.

    We installed it ourselves and it’s easy if you have enough help. I just stayed inside and watched my family through the window. It’s very heavy. You need to have a lot of people to do it, so we had grandchildren come. And with the help of all of our huge grandchildren, we were able to get it done. We haven’t had it all that long, but I would definitely recommend them to a friend. The quality is good, and the price is fair to us.
