Yaheetech Front Door Canopy, Door Porch Canopy, Rain Cover Awning Shelter Outdoor Roof Shade Patio, 200x80x23cm Black

This canopy is great. Superb quality at a great price. I fitted this myself above my cabin door. Assembly is really easy. It took a few minutes to slot together. The order came with bolts which was handy. But in my case I didn’t need them. I used my own screws and attached it myself. It is so lightweight but strong and rigid that I could do it myself but it would be easier having someone else there to help. It keeps the rain off well and looks superb. I am so impressed with this that I will be buying another to go above my front door.

Having looked at both aluminium and polycarbonate options, I settled with the polycarbonate as it had a 1.2m single span wheres, the aluminium ones I saw, were limited to 1m span - a little tight for a 900mm doorway. Having said that, I would have been happy to invest more on the aluminium for its better durability (?) This canopy was better than some of the slightly cheaper alternatives as the polycarbonate sheet came in one piece - others were joined in the middle; another durability concern. Assembly was easy but, it took a few hours to install on my own with lots of up-and-downs on the step ladder and double measuring for the wall drilling. Hanging was also awkward (for one person) as the expansion bolts supplied are “push-through” and tighten whilst installing. A second set of hands would make things a lot easier. The expansion bolts are okay for the light weight polycarbonate canopy but, for a heavier canopy, I would prefer to use resin anchors on hollow brickwork as the resin would expand and distribute bolt load across the hollow void in the brick.

Arrived quickly, easier with 2 people to assemble, and definitely needed a rubber mallet to ensure a good tight fit between canopy and brackets. A couple of screws missing, managed to find suitable ones. Once assembled seems quite sturdy. As in other reviews there was a slight bowing of the back. Instructions aren't helpful, though found some good videos on the web on fitting this general type of canopy. The bolts to fit to the wall look to be reasonable quality, and once we worked out the method for fitting give a solid strong result : Hold canopy with brackets against the wall, mark holes to be drilled, after drilling , hold assembled unit against the holes (easier with 2 people but possible on your own ), insert fully assembled bolt with nut through the bracket holes, tighten nut. Note : Don't insert the sleeve without the nut attached. There is a gap at the back so you may need to fill this as mentioned in other reviews. In this case the canopy sits under a wooden panel so no penetration of rain etc. and didn't need to fill the gap. Looks good, has survived the recent storms, wind etc. so far. Not sure how the clear canopy will deal with the range of sun/snow/rain/ etc. over time , however for the price, it's good value.

Very pleased with this canopy Fast delivery arrived the next day actually. Light but very sturdy frame Easy to assemble but definitely a two person job Just my opinion but I think the M10 rawl bolts were a bit ott could manage with shorter bolts and the canopy would still be very secure because of the sturdy arms All said and done very pleased with the product.

So lovely looks lovely out side my back door would highly recommend very strong

good functional canopy. solid and easy to install. everything included.

Perfect canopy, however you will likely need professional installation. This is especially true if the building you're attaching the canopy to is made of extra-hard material (such as stone), or extra-flimsy material (such as plastic or particle board). However once you get it installed, it's a great device. I just wish the advertising had been more clear about how you CAN install it yourself, but ONLY if you're lucky enough to be installing onto a surface which is easily workable.

I bought this for the second time - first one lasted 5 years then became discoloured. The canopy itself is polycarbonate and has open channels running through it. Moss eventually grows up the channels and is difficult to remove, so I covered the open ends with transparent tape so hopefully it'll not let moss spores in. Good quality for the price. Could do with better instructions but a reasonable DIYer will manage ok. The wall fixings have improved since I bought the first one but obviously getting the 4 fixing holes in the right position is imperative. Easier to position when 2 people do it - not easy for a single person to accomplish.
