Just got my Outsunny awning today and searched for an installation video and found this one. Nice Job!!! I thought I was going to see a magic trick around 17:35 -17:54. I thought you would have disappeared or the dogs were now in your spot. I hope my installation goes as easy as your third.
came for the installation video, stayed for all the dogs just wanting to play ball/frisbee :-) Appreciate the video, this is a much better instructional method than the included ones, especially for a visual learner

Extremely helpful! Thank you for posting
really good video , what i like is also that you had problems to assemble , which happens in real life all the time ,and you worked it out , good job and thanks a lot
Excellent video! Just order my awning today and looking forward to the installation. Thank you.
Thank you for the real world video and how you worked out the misaligned pieces. Oh! And great job!!
Thank you for a great video. The "mistakes" likely helped me just as much other directions.
Just got mine delivered today. This video is going to be a great help for my son-in-law who has been roped into installing it. Loved the issues part. That's real life and you handled them with great patience.
Thanks Betty, Its going on 4 years now an all my awnings shown here are still working and in great shape. Here in the Pacific Northwest!
Really this video is better than the "slick" factory vids that make it look unreasonably easy. Well-done. Much more instructive.
This video made me select the Outsunny brand and was fantastic to explain installation once I received the shipment. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
Are you still happy with it two years later?
Great video and thanks for taking the time! I missed seeing you install the mounting brackets. Did you just screw them into the wall (understanding there is a header behind the siding) or was it a bolt of some kind? Love your dogs!
Your video was very very helpful. If i could like it twice i would. Thanks so much
Looks like it works good. Happy new year!
only decent video on assembling awning. Thanks Great video.
GREAT VID HELPED ME A LOT
Wow like going crazy just watching you build this I cant do it dont I have the will power your awesome
Good info, I am going to be doing an awning on our house
A very nice video! Thank you!
I wonder if you can use one of the two extra winders to cut and make fit into a cordless drill chuck for quick and easy roll-in and roll-out action. I'd definitely do that and save the tedious manual twirling action.
I use a screw in hook (left over from hanging beer mugs in the bar) . As long as you’re over 6 feet tall, you can reach.
Thank you for the video.
But fo you know what sort of people be able to do the installation? I can't do it.
I wish it was fully assembled with just small parts to connect together and just the brackets and screws to hang on the wall.
Thank you so much!!
Cool video! How much height do you need for the brackets that attach on the wall? It looks like 4" or 5", I only have the height of a 2x4 (3.5") to work with.
I would have like to have seen the adjustments made by you to make it work for your space
Good video on an affordable solution.
Unless you want the exercise dude cut off that hand crank and chuck in yer battery drill to extend them with ease.
Thank you ❤️
You should consider Alpina Tubular Motors for that awning :)
👍😎🙋♂️Thankyou for This Video ! We already had Awnings similar to this Brand,...for the last 12 yrs,...& they came Fully Assembled !!! Purchased @ “The Christmas Tree Shops” for $200. (Size was 8x12). As of this year,(2020), They don’t Sell them anymore Unfortunately !!!😜🥴Now we have to Buy This Brand, & when it came, We Thought it was the Wrong size, because the Box it came in Accounted for its being 1/2 the fully Assembled Size...lol🥴☺️
@SkyWater Haven - Can we get a 5 year update on the Awnings and how they have been? Would you still recommend them?
The 1st one is the hardest.
The directions pamphlet provided were pretty much useless to follow.
Looking at the finished pictures provided were more useful when assembling.
If you haven’t ever put one of these together it will be challenging.
I just bought one from Menards. It was $250 after $50 mail-in rebate and was pre-assembled.
So you paid $80 more for someone to put it together for you at a factory?
How to know if it is even the same unit? I got to inspect before buying.
@@davejoseph5615 I'm inspecting before buying right now. Your right how do you know it's the same unit? So why compare different retailers prices if it's not the same product to begin with?
Since it already ships in a big box, they ought to just ship it assembled. I’d buy one. Or two.
Amen
I recently installed outsunny awning . I don’t why is creasing when I am rolling it back.
What size? I'm looking to get the 8' wide awning. I'm guessing your awning is 10' wide.
Where did the other 2 rods go? What brand is it?
Do you happen to recall what size drill bit you used to create the holes for the mounting bracket? The instructions on mine say 5/8-inch but that's larger than the bolt!
We used the 3/8.
1) Good assembly video
2) nothing in this video describes why they are the best.
3) Possibly angling the awnings a lot more (even if that requires custom angled brackets) and evenly would look A LOT better than your current solution for reducing rain collection. The way it is at the end of this video makes your whole house look bad.
Nice way to be a jerk
Good video good and bad this is what we will go through to install one for ourselves
Its great!! Its too hard for me yo put together!!
Hows the awnings holding up? Question? Can you move the brackets inward more or is that "where" they "must" go? Made in China CRAP like everything else in the world ! Everything is about shipping man! Thats why everything is cut in half and bent in half you gotta assemble it.Nothing over 8 feet long man! Costs to much to ship! Wait til it starts to rust? Good luck!Thanks for the video.
Boy am I glad I bought this years model. They have re-engineered this to such a much stronger and easier to assemble piece, that this video is ALMOST not relevant anymore. They have replaced the plastic pins that hold the arms with steel and it comes with stronger connections that join the main structure. I paid $170 on Amazon and it was delivered 5/13/21 so mine is 2.5 years updated. Unbelievable for the money. Don't understand how they did it then and today it is even a better buy.
Where can we buy this? What brand?
Yes it is a great video.
But I need someone to do it for me as I cant do it. And unfortunately, Handymen running away from it and dont want to touch these things!! I wish it was fully assembled and we just had to hang/ tie it to the wall with the brackets and the screws.
Putting up the brackets is harder than assembling it

We are about to pull the trigger on one of these. then maybe a 2nd. are they treating you ok 2 years later?
Hey Mark! Yep! two years later, they are a bit faded, but they still work great! Great purchase. I had a few crazy wind gusts, blow them pretty hard.... but no damage. I'm wondering if I can get replacement canvas for these, later on when the canvas goes. they won't last forever. I'll post where to get them if I find them.
@@skywaterhaven any place that does boat canvas tops could probably recreate the pattern and with better fabric .
Thanks. How are the awnings holding up ?
I have the same question... If it's still good I'll order one now.
What’s the name brand.
Anybody else get sketched out when you get a little wind and these awnings move up and down?
Space awning music....
your awesome the instructions that came with the awning it are no good there like a cartoon drew it. Without your help i couldnt of install it thank you Question is it water proof
Glad it helped you!
Can anyone please provide the center-to-center distance between the two mounting brackets? Can you install the brackets further away from the ends (e.g., somewhere between the arms rather than between the arm and the end)? Our studs are about 108" apart
The mounting brackets and slide to the desired location on the rail to meet your studs. they do not have to be at the very end. Hope this helps. Good luck
@@skywaterhaven Thank you! did the bracket interfere with the closing of the awning? i.e., could the awning still be closed all the way in?
Good video on installation, lousy music which has no purpose other than to distract the viewer
Great video, just don’t put background music on your videos. Overall thank you this really helped me to understand a little better how to put this together.
what happens when the wind blows them up on to your roof
They just flip back down and seem fine every time... I of course, immediately run out there and roll It in when that does happen. Some day
I expect to runout and see the entire awning on the other side of my house, but so far so good ..... years later.
How are these holding up after 4 years? Have you had to replace? Also any rusting?
Yes after 4 years they are still doing great, faded yes, no holes in canopy. No rust and were in the Pacific Northwest were nothing drys out after October. I'm sure I can get replacement canvas, when these start to go. I'm still shocked th price is still under $200. I've had the wind come along and blow these awning up and backwards over the roof, they just popped back down and all was good. Make sure you bolt these to studs in your walls, because the wind will rip them right out if you don't. One of the best items that I have added to my house with our small budgets.
@@skywaterhaven cool thanks!
Where can I buy these, and what brand are they?

@@84848AR, there is a link under the video
Is it stable when strong wind blows?
I just got one and it seems to be but I still feel uneasy when the wind picks up
how they holding up?
3 years and still working great! a bit faded and the wind ripped into them a few times but they bounced right back. A great purchase!
Where can I buy in uk ??
The range marketplace online
getting frustrated that the pieces still have the plastic on while you're putting them together!
Are these good after 2 years
Mine is going on 3 years and still working great... a little faded, well a lot faded but these are holding up well, even after a few wind gusts have lifted them straight up a few times.
@@skywaterhaven it's still rain proof after 3 years?
How deep are the screws that hold the bracket to the house?
I'd also like to know how much damage is done to the house where the awning is attached?
The lag bolts included with my awning were about an 1 1/2 in long. I decided to go a little deeper into the wall header so went to the hardware store and picked up 2 in long lag bolts. The key is to make sure you are anchoring into wood.
@@joshuamathermusic It depends on the exterior of your house. In the video, Terry's exterior walls are wooden. Simple drill through the siding and then into the header will do. My home has vinyl siding so I cut a square the vinyl in the pattern of the mounting bracket, cut a similar size piece of 2 x 4 wood and sealed the wood piece to the side of the house to offset the space of the small piece of siding that I cut out. I then drilled through the wood piece and then into the wall header and attached the mounting bracket. Once everything was caulked and sealed, I painted the wood to match the siding. Pretty easy and it is a solid base for each of the brackets.
@@jims7126 Thanks!
I used 3" long 3/8" lags, to make sure I bit into the leader completly
The music is making me sleepy

unfortunately it is made in china? why unfortunately?
Because I support BUY IN AMERICA first..... however I am a hypocrite because I buy stuff from China all the time. I wish I didn't have to, we need to bring manufacturing back to the US.
@@skywaterhaven Would you be willing to pay $400 for your Made in America model?
Patrick L / 🙋♂️YES PATRICK👍...if it was Fully assembled,...Like the Ones we Bought from the “Christmas Tree shop” for the Last 12 yrs ! ...But those were “China” too...lol🥴🤪
