after i mounted mine, Aleko posted a video on youtube a few days later. it is a good video and shows parts of the installation i did not. i wish Aleko had posted their video earlier. It would have help me; but, I fear I would have still broke that center arm. Not sure I would have caught that even after watching their installation video. Also, Aleko did not cover that center arm assembly roller that is so critical. I covered it here. But, they have responded great to the issue I had. I think I was just one of many who received their canopy with that center bar mounted upside down.

I noticed in your video that the wall bracket did not seem to have enough room for the bolt to clear the folding arm when it was in the closed position, does this cause a problem when the awning is fully closed. I just completed assembly on my 16' awning and am ready to install it but it looks like all 4 brackets will be out to far after the bolts are inserted??? Just wonder if that is normal?

Great points! I just got mine in and saw in the required tools about the 19mm drill bit and what it sounds like is an allen wrench. I’ve only seen one that I’ve got the drill bit (masonry, since my house is brick) but the wrench, is it provided? I didn’t see it in the box.

Thanks for the great video. I'm thinking about getting one of these, can't beat the price. Do you recommend? How much vertical mounting space is needed?
@CatDickel
6 жыл бұрын
Can not say exactly how much vertical space needed but it will fit over a standard door and stay below the house overhang. I had a lot of problems with my installation but if i had it to do again, i would have no problems. Yes, I do recommend but be aware that the installation can be a real issue which is why i posted this video. Aleko has now posted an installation video that was not available when i installed mine.

Their instructions are the worst! There needs to better explanations and cautions, along with actual pictures. We finally got ours installed, but only after some trial and error.

Verified purchaser, verified assembler. It’s too late to turn back now. All the boxes are opened and parts scattered everywhere. The first comment I must make is this. Either all the retractable awning manufactures must also have pathetic assembly instructions. And KZitem support videos made by the most incompetent composers. Or this Aleko company would have already been out of business. The printed instructions provided inside packages are disgusting. Images of parts on instructions do not match the parts provided in the box. Important steps are either omitted. Or they come along in the assembly process out of order. Causing one to disassemble to reassemble. There are parts in the box that are not even on the assembly paperwork. As far as the KZitem videos recommended by the technical support. They too are still missing steps. The parts shown being assembles in these videos actually change from one step to the next. Possible different product revisions of the units over the years. But why then in the same assembly video. It’s like you are being shown how to change a transmission on a 1965 F150. But then you are suddenly being shown how to do the next step on a 1985 F150. I purchased a motorized unit. There were zero instructions in any of the boxes on how to assemble that part of the process. And the KZitem video recommend by the technical support was one of those that changed parts being assembled along the way. It has you looking through all the parts provided tying to find these other parts. As they look like they would have worked better. Not sure which revision they were from. Not the one delivered to me. But more revisions are still definitely needed. How in the heck this happens is beyond me, I still managed to get the unit assembled in a day. And once one gets through it. It really pisses one off seeing how a set of clear and up to date instructions would made it a whole less frustration. And how it would have been so easy for the manufacturer to have provided that. It is like they want people to hire someone that has done it before. I pray to God it works now once I get it mounted on the house. And then lasts beyond the point where I forget how frustrating of an ordeal it was.

The instructions for the assembly of this product are not at all clear with regards to the procedure and placement of these parts. The video that I found for the assembly of this product is not much more informative than the written procedure. There appears to be too much information that is not written or shown for a smooth assembly. It would be of great value to the installer to have the actual parts labeled. It would also be of value to have an actual parts list with the quantity of each part listed in this parts list.

This is good and helpful. Wish I did the research and watched before I did mine. It is maddening how poor the directions are. I can’t get mine to roll up correctly. It shifts to one side and I can’t figure out how to make it go evenly.

Bought the half cartridge LED lighted model. Call Aleko and have them send you their updated instructions. Not great but better than whats in the box and includes missing information for the wireless remote. Be warned the half-cartridge models are only left hand motor mount (their literature and ads don't make this clear). In order to make ours a right hand motor like we wanted the cartridge has to be machined (cut) on the right hand side to match the factory provided cutout that was on the left. The cut out provides access for the hand crank and the motor stop adjustments. I did mine with a drill and hacksaw and cleaned it up with a file. It also required me to thread the left hand end cartridge cap to get the bracket to attach to it. I used a 7mm tap and bought some hardware (2-7mm x 35mm bolts) to make it work. Some simple photographs would have been so much more helpful than the printed instruction. The modifications were not hard once I figured it all out but a lot of wasted time for lack of good instructions. Overall appears to be a good value for what you get as long as your prepared for the assembly challenges and understand its not right hand drive without some serious modification.
