Polycarbonate Window Door Awning Brown 38 Inch x 115 Inch | Awning Canopy Brown with Black Bracket

When a recent storm tore off my old awning, I was left with a gaping hole that needed to be filled. After a quick search, I decided on the VIVOHOME Polycarbonate Window Door Awning Canopy, and I'm happy to report it's been working perfectly as a replacement. The installation was straightforward, though it's definitely a two-person job, as recommended in the instructions. The package came with all the necessary hardware, and the polycarbonate panels and aluminum brackets felt sturdy enough for the job. Since putting it up, it has held up well to both sun and rain, providing a great shield for my door. It has a sleek, modern look that blends in nicely with my home's exterior, and it's a huge improvement over the old one. For the price, it's a fantastic value and a perfect solution for anyone looking for a durable and stylish awning replacement. I'm very satisfied with how it has performed.

Installed a month ago, very easy I have the double unit. When assembled it looks really not sturdy so I used clear heavy duty outside glue around the frame. Also we put the awing on the board first then up above the patio door. Im in the Cascades we got 6 inch snow - ice ,wind so far holding very good! Of course I clean the snow as much as possible but under that I have half inch of ice. MY ONLY CONCERN THE SNOW WILL SLIDE FROM THE ROOF. I will update .,, It is really worth the money especially if you're live in mild or warmer climate! ! Im a 65 years old grandma with a bad back and hip and took me about 30 minute to assemble . Update :Feb.7 Still holding great, strong wind snow and ice.!! Update; March 15 45MPH wind took it off. So lasted 5 months in the Pac. northwest.

This is a classy looking awning that overall was a great buy, but with a few things to note on the installation. I purchased this to keep the rain out of my garage; because there was no awning over my garage and the concrete driveway wasn't installed with the right pitch angle, rain was pouring down the garage door and into the garage. No more, thanks to this awning! Note that I combined this 40 X 120 awning with a 40 X 120 awning to create one large 40 X 200 awning. (200" wide = 16' 8"). - The building of the unit was fairly straightforward. One person can do it, but two would make it easier. Make sure to build it inside if there is wind, as the plastic sheet quickly becomes a sail. - The brackets are plastic but well made, it feels like the kind of plastic used for automotive parts. - The frame is formed sheet metal, and fairly sturdy - The polycarbonate sheets are decent quality, but honestly I wouldn't expect this to last for a lifetime, probably a 5-10 year life span before the sun would destroy it. Note that there is a protective film on BOTH sides of the plastic, and you should remove the film BEFORE you assemble it as it is hard to pull off after the edges are inside the frame. - I found myself concerned that with the high winds we get here in Las Vegas, that this thing would come apart. When fully assembled, it is still a bit flimsy and the wind would easily cause this to flex. So in order to give this a little more strength, I drilled holes as in the photos and added 3/8" sheet metal screws on both the front and the back in order to strengthen the frame. I'm not sure if this was completely necessary, but it took only a few extra minutes and a one dollar investment in the screws in order to provide piece of mind. This was way easier than potentially rebuilding it if it pops apart in the wind. - Mounting it straight is extremely important! I have an old house and no wall is straight. So instead of mounting it straight on the exterior wall, I used a 2" X 10" board, which I mounted to the wall with anchors and then simply bolted the awning to the board with lag bolts. (It came with nice quality concrete anchors, but I didn't use them) Even with this extra effort, I found it difficult to line up the awning straight. Any warping in the board caused the awning to aim at a different angle causing the front rim to not be straight. I found it necessary to add shims between the bracket and the mounting surface in order to adjust the angle and make it straight. Looking back, I probably should have taken greater care to find a board that was perfectly straight. As you can see in my photo, I installed the 40 X 80 awning separately next to the 40 X 120. I could have used the parts to create one large continuous awning, but I thought it would be stronger if I mounted them separately. The downside is that even with my shims and mounting board, as you can see in the photo there is a small angled gap which I could not avoid, but it is barely noticeable. - Note that the back of the awning does not meet flush against the mounting wall; there is about 1/4" of gap. As blocking rain was my #1 priority, I found it necessary to use caulking to fill in that gap, which you can see in my photos. I used Bond It GripBond hybrid sealant, which is both a sealant and adhesive that has almost zero shrinkage. It worked perfectly. - Including all the extra shenanigans with the board, a trip to the hardware store for screws and lag bolts, and shimming it straight, it took about 5 hours to install the whole thing. Remember that this is 16' 8" long though. I think if I had a perfectly straight wall and just installed it as intended, it could be 60-90 minutes. If you just had a small door to cover and ordered the small one, it would be 30-45 minutes. - The bottom line - Nice product, looks great!

This awning canopy is a great addition for protecting windows or doors from rain and sun. The polycarbonate panel feels durable and sturdy, and it does a good job shielding the area while still letting some light through. The brown panel with black brackets gives it a clean, modern look that blends nicely with different home styles. It adds both function and a bit of visual appeal. Once installed, it feels secure and holds up well against normal weather conditions. It’s especially useful for keeping entryways dry during rain. Overall, this is a practical and stylish canopy that offers good protection and durability for everyday use.

First of all, this awning is NOT 120 inches in length. That's how long three 40-inch panels would be if you were putting them up individually. But with three panels, two middle brackets are eliminated, making the awning 116-inches long. It wound up barely being long enough to cover my three-panel patio door, when I thought I had several inches to spare. Second, the first time the awning showed up, the box looked like it had fallen off a truck and been run over. There was a huge gash through the middle of the box, and all of the corners were smashed in. One of the plastic brackets was scratched up, and more than one of the panels had bent corners. I’m not even sure all the parts were still inside. I sent it back to Amazon for a replacement. When the second one arrived, it was in better shape, but there was still a hole in the box and one of the brackets was protruding from it. As you might gather, the manufacturer put no cushioning such as bubble wrap around the product. The only protection was a film on the panels that you peel off before installing. So inspect yours carefully when it arrives. Third, when putting the panels in, make sure you line it up with the lines in the panel running from front to back rather than side to side or they won’t fit. The panels may look square to the naked eye, but they aren’t. Fourth, they show in the video that you install small bolts in the front of the awning. What they don’t show is that there are no pre-drilled holes and that these are merely small screws. You’re going to need to drill through metal to get those screws in there, so have a drill handy. Fifth, the thing is pretty wobbly, so I would emphasize the need to have at least two people putting this up. In my case three would have been better — two people to hold it in place while a third drills starter holes in the house. As other reviewers have mentioned, creating a template for drilling is a good idea. Finally, I have no idea how this would really perform once installed. The guy who was helping me install this fell off his step ladder while working on drilling the holes and stumbled into the awning, bending one of the frames and panels beyond repair. After that, I was so disgusted with the entire process that I threw the whole thing away. If you order it, I hope you have better luck that I did.

Don't get me wrong, the product was exactly as advertised and easy to assemble. My problem is with the price. The panels are cheap corrugated plastic usually associated with packaging. The brackets are plastic and weight almost nothing. It should have been much cheaper. I would buy it again but look try to find a better deal.

I had read lots of reviews about these awnings. I chose this one because the material was polycarbonate and clear. It is far more durable then pvc or plexiglass. The material is bade like a plastic sort of cardboard and is somewhat flexable. People talked about it being dificult to assemble but honestly it was not I did all but the hanging of the 2 sections by myself. The first and most dificult part of the assembly is getting the first pannel bent and in place. I attached the metal rail to the top of the first section. Lined up the pannel and slipped the pannel in the first metal edge. I unstained one of the self threading screws into the plastic arch then slipped the pannel in. I used lots of painters tape to securely hold the pieces together. Then I bent the pannel to shape and installed tge bottom rod. Screwed it in place and taped the assembly together. Basically followed that pattern through the rest of the instalation. Since I had a 2 piece awning it came with 3 arch supports. I assembled one with 2 arches and one with only one. Worked like a champ. Then I installed 2 2x4's on the side of my house making sure I got screws through the siding, insulation board and into the studs. I had my son help me hold the sections in place while I screwed the arches in place. Worked very well. It's very solid and has already protected the garage door from several strong storms with high winds. Looks great and works perfectly. A little paint and I'll be all done

I live in Northwest North Dakota where we get temps sometimes below -25 degrees in the winter with wind chills below -50 degrees. We have winds pretty much every day in the 15 to 25 mph range. We have high winds of 40 to 50 mph with gusts over 70 mph. The awning has held up for 3 solid years, purchased May 2022, now May 2025, with out any problem. One panel came out today as we were having storms and wind gusts in excess of 50mph. Without question I will be purchasing a replacement. I feel that the value, $50 per year for 3 years (purchase price $149) was a bargain! This kept the rain and snow away from my back double doors.

Très moyen….

Ajout de petites visses de fixation recommandé . fixé avant l'hivers, nous verrons si tout est correct au printemps prochain. le résultat de pose est bien et pour le prix je pense que c'est un bon achat . Il faut être 2 personnes pour le monter car c'est léger et souple . une fois installé c'est très solide. oui je recommande ce produit.

Genial

leggera struttura che facilita l'installazione

Llego antes de lo planeado y completo . Gracias
