I love my Sunsetter Awning! Here in the Northwest, I have beautiful tree views from my great room and I didn't want to lose that. However, when the weather finally allows me to sit outside in the late spring, summer, and early fall, I needed something that would protect me from the sun. It does the job, and it looks beautiful.
Once I decided on what I wanted, ordering the awning was a breeze. It took a couple of months to get it because it had to be custom made. The installation was quick and my neighbors all commented on how good it looked. Meranda was my contact at A-1, and she did an outstanding job through the process.
In summary, my awning is perfect during the good weather when I can sit outside (without freezing). When it's too cold to sit outside, it retracts to a very clean, elegant, minimal look that allows more light into my great room.
Note 1: If you are in an area where it rains heavily, keep the awning retracted when it rains as it cannot handle the weight of a lot of rain.
Note 2: The optional side windbreakers are very heavy and are not really intended for use in an area where the awning will be opened and closed regularly. They would be best in the consistently sunnier areas of the country where the awning will remain open for an extended period of time. read more
