I have one on south side of house. For years we used umbrellas which always blew over. The awning is one of the best things I did to this house. I love it. These pictures make it look like the tree shades the deck but not for most of the day.

@jck910 thank you very much for sharing! do you remember how far the awning extends? and how much did it cost?

My best guess is that it extends 10 feet. About $3000 with installation in 2015. It was crank style but as we got older that was hard to do so we just added a motor $500 (haven't used it yet).

I read on a dilemma here that Costco sells awnings at a reasonable price but have no info on that
