Bought this Chinese made Aleko awning about two months ago. Upon opening, I realized it only came with two brackets which I do not think is enough. Aleko said they don’t sell brackets only so I bought a couple of extra brackets that were slightly different than the original ones, and after some tweaking, got them to work. Installing the awning was difficult as no installation instructions were included in my package and Aleko does not have them online. If you want to adjust the drop height, you will need someone else at the other end to release the tension so you can adjust the bolts. Do yourself a favor and get a motor because hand-cranking is no fun. Not too happy with the pathos and style of this product – cheaply made! I should have bought an Italian retractable awning instead. Never again will I buy an awning from China!
