Manual Retractable Awning With LED 250 cm Anthracite vidaXL

Awesome product , solved the problem of sun shining in and having light around work even better at night not requiring outside light to me on constantly.

First, the construction is pretty good for the cost! It does clearly serve a niche purpose! However, the awning is not white-cream. It is a yellow-cream. It is very nice for what it is but, its not the color in the photo and so, not what was expected.

We bought this to cover our built in grill when it rains. It’s cumbersome to put together and instructions aren’t the best but functionality it does the trick.

Although the assembly was a little confusing because the instructions seem to be missing a step, I was able to put it together by myself. Took me about 30 minutes and I only needed help putting it up since that is definitely a two person job with a 9 foot awning. Something important to note, retractable does not mean it completely rolls up. When you retract it, you are putting it flat down like a privacy shade. If you want to completely retract it, you will need to unscrew the arms that hold it up so that the awning can completely retract. One thing that I did, was add a couple Velcro straps to each post so that when I do retract it, the metal pieces do not cling in the wind. Also, if you do retract your awning flat in a downward position, if a wind does come up you ... MoreAlthough the assembly was a little confusing because the instructions seem to be missing a step, I was able to put it together by myself.

Also, if you do retract your awning flat in a downward position, if a wind does come up you do have it secured. For the price, this is a great purchase. The photos are with the awning opened, with the awning retracted/brought down and a few from underneath. I did not add the solar lights.

I like the concept, however the issue is in the instructions, it's not very explainable and hard to work out how to assemble

Easy setup and looks great

The awning was easy to set up, the gray color matches perfectly with the exterior and it is greatly quality. Had high wind gust warnings in our area and it held up, of course we previously anchored it to the walls for stability since we didn’t want it blowing into the neighbors yards. The solar lights are a bonus, illuminates quite well at night. Overall great quality for the price

Good

Satisfied with the product for the price. A little hassle to go up because the plan is not super well explained but after 3 hours successful! It seems quite strong because with me a lot of wind and it did not move. Retains rain well. Good value for money

Good value for money

Overall I am satisfied with my purchase The assembly requires 2 people at a certain time but the 3 / 4,8 th of the work was done by my companion in 2 hours. The rendering is good. Only negative point is the lack of support from the middle bar. With 3.50 m it is not straight with the weight but slightly in an arc which worries me a little for the durability of the product

Missing/broken parts. Not the sturdiest

The price is good for what you get. It was a little difficult to put together with the picture instructions. I was missing two of the pieces that go in the ends of the poles to hold up the awning on the sides, and one of the bottom plastic feet was cracked. It is not very sturdy because it is so tall and long it is good for the price I suppose.

Super cute but painful

They are adorable. The height is good. The stability is excellent for something this "high". But they hurt badly. The front part that covers the toes digs into the skin.
