Had a same size awning from one of the big name companies that damaged itself in the wind. My fault for not tying it down, but it folded up and bent two of the poles badly enough I couldn't straighten them. Bought this awning for $180 less then the name brand awning to steal parts off of to repair the other awning and was surprised to find this is a better built and nicer all-around awning. Heavy fabric, INCLUDED mounting kit (name brand was $70 for mounts) anodized poles and brackets instead of raw aluminum. Name brand awning is now on the shelf for parts.
