We just moved into a new house with a deck but no privacy or shade, so we got an awning from SunSetter. It’s motorized since my wife doesn’t like the manual models. Installation wasn’t easy. We had to add a plank to the wall to secure the mounting brackets to, do some flashing, and install a receptacle. I guess the pros might be able to do it in the advertised 2-1/2 hours. The motor works well, but the arms look frail and are noisy when they open. The cover also began to sag after a week. Sunsetter was of no help when we called. Hopefully, we’ll get a couple of years of use out of it. At this point, I’m not quite sure I can recommend Sunsetter for a purchase.
