Yaheetech Front Door Canopy Outdoor Awning, Window Garden Canopy Patio Porch Awning, Rain Shelter Cover, 100 x 80 cm, Black

So pleased with this. It looks great and has resolved a problem of rain ingress to the bottom of our back door. relatively easy to assemble and fit. Hubby as others have said used a 10mm masonry drill bit not 12 as it says. Just be careful not to lose the end piece of the bolt as it would be near impossible to retrieve if it came off before securing properly. Very pleased with the result and it looks very nice in situ as well as serving a purpose. It appears very robust and well made. Highly recommend.

Easy to construct but recommend spare pair of hands to fix to building. Value for money. Survived unscathed gale force winds from the Channel as we live on the top of the Downs.

Great once fitted but.........a hell of a job to fit. Price was good and canopy looks good but best fitted with a helper and a good tool box. It is what it is and for what I paid it's good.

Within 24 hours of contacting the supplier they had resolved the problem. Very efficient and courteous.Very easy to assemble and put up, however on removing the protective sheets off the polycarbonate I found there was a blemish within the moulding about 100mm long near the middle. Shows up quite a bit so I have contacted the supplier to try to get a replacement sheet and am now waiting for a response. I bought this as it was rated 4.5 out of 5 and had it have not been for this problem I would rate it higher. Will see what they do about it and perhaps change the review then.

Great porch cover - perfect

I bought 2 of these, they are easy to adjust with simple tools, I cut one unit down to 940mm to fit the frame, the front and rear metal sections can be cut easily with a hack saw and the polycarbonate cut easily with a stanlely knife. They are light weight but it is still easier to install them with two people than on your own. look great, and keep the rain off the door and front step. Would buy again.

I purchased this canopy last month but due to excessive rain in my region, did not make a start on fixing it up until last week. I watched a video on You Tube before starting - and I recommend you do this too. The guy in the video suggests that if you are going to attempt the installation by yourself, firstly put the frame and acrylic sheet together as indicated in the "instructions" provided. (More about that later).Fitting the flat acrylic sheet into the curved end brackets is not as easy as you might think, because the sheet is VERY resistant to bending! You really would do better with THREE hands and arms for this part! You need the extra hand to push the sheet in the middle to bend it. Once you have forced one end of the acrylic sheet into the bracket, you then need to force the other end into the opposite end bracket. I suggest the easiest way to do this is to stand the canopy bracket (that you've just fixed into the acrylic sheet) on the floor, then force the second end bracket over the open end of the acrylic sheet, by firstly pushing the sheet into one end of the curve and bending the sheet as you push down on the upper bracket. When you have these main three pieces together, screw in two of the SMALL steel "bolts" supplied, which hold the end bracket to the acrylic sheet. Once this end is secure, you can flip the canopy onto the opposite end and screw in two more small steel "bolts", which I would really call screws. The instructions seem to have mixed up what the UK refers to as screws (which have a sharp end) with bolts (which do not). Later you will see that what they call "Setscrews" are really what we would call "Rawlbolts".Now - the advise for fitting one by yourself: The YouTube video suggests marking the four holes (where the end brackets need fixing to the wall) on a flat piece of wood, then drilling through the piece of wood and following through into your wall. For anyone who does not have a spare piece of timber, I suggest using one side of the thick cardboard box it is supplied in instead. Place the assembled canopy onto the box and mark the four holes with a pen/pencil through the holes in the end brackets onto the cardboard. Then drill or use a sharp tool or screwdriver to open these into 4 small (10mm) holes. Using a piece of cardboard against the wall is far easier than trying to hold the entire canopy up there, on a step ladder by yourself, especially as you would have to hold it with one hand, with no spare hand to hold the ladder - or to mark the wall either! If you have a standard/modern brick wall, then I assume that the bricks will be level, so you don't need a spirit level to check your markings are level BEFORE drilling! REMEMBER to check that if your canopy if being installed above OUTWARD-OPENING DOORS, that the outer (lowest) edge of the canopy is sufficiently far above the top of the doors. ( such as French doors/windows). You must do this before drilling, so hold the canopy in position with the French doors open below to check for clearance. No need of course, if installing above an inward-opening door or sliding patio doors.Another reviewer on here has pointed out that the 4 "SETSCREWS" provided, being 80 mm long are around the same width as a house brick. This is not good, because as another reviewer said, this means the innermost part of the Setscrew is beyond the innermost edge of the brick, whereas it needs to be INSIDE the brick when tightened to ensure a good grip! (It would have been better if the Setscrews provided had been 60 or 65 mm long for use in bricks). If you are drilling into stone, maybe no problem with the 80 mm long setscrews.Please DO NOT make the mistake of trying to "test" the assembly in situ beforehand, as suggested by one reviewer! By hammering the Setscrews even partially into the wall to check for alignment makes it virtually IMPOSSIBLE to remove them! Note that the 10 mm holes you have drilled only just allow the Setscrews to be hammered in - and once in - they are NOT willing to be pulled out, no matter how hard you try! As you try to pull the Setscrew out, the tapered nut expands the sleeve, forcing it open and locking the bolt sleeve against the drilled hole! Just make absolutely certain that your 4 pre-drilled holes are aligned as you want before hammering in the Setscrews!!! It is NOT CLEAR on the "instructions" provided that you MUST FIT the setscrews through the end brackets, so that the hexagonal bolt heads and steel washers are on the outside of the brackets and the bolt's expanding sleeves and retaining nuts are on the inside edges of the end brackets.The "Assembling Instructions" supplied are only 4 small diagrams - you have to guess what they mean! They are far from clear, to say the least and are the worst item in the entire canopy kit!

So pleased with this door canopy. Very sturdy. Glad it came with one piece of plastic. The one it replaced had two pieces that blew out when we had bad winds. Very very pleased with this one would highly recommend. Great price too
