Three years later and a look at how well the Awning is performing. Compare this video to the original, to check out shade fade and any wear on the frame.

Thanks for taking the trouble to make this useful video. I'm researching at present prior to getting one for the back garden. Took me a while to realise there must be excellent KZread videos like your to help me out. Much appreciated!

Ours came with the house so has to be around 10 years old now and still works great and only washed it once and used tent waterproofing on it a year ago and loving it
fabulous still as new 👏👏
We have now put the new fabric awning into the Primrose awning. It took us (two 78-year-olds who are not keen on climbing ladders!) about 15 minutes from start to finish. We are thrilled with the results.

Big thanks for uploading these videos on awnings, as I’m looking to purchase one myself. Can I ask, did you ever put that fire pit underneath the awning? Would you say it’s ok to have that type of fire pit on decking?

Thanks for the update, I assume it was the standard one for that price not the half or full cassette as its covered by the roof soffit when retracted?

We have had our Primrose Awning for 8 or 9 years but the fabric has got badly marked and the valance is faded & frayed. Unfortunately Primrose don't do replacement fabric but we got a superb replacement from TG Outlets on Ebay. The fabric is a better quality than the original. I Will report back when we have replaced it. The videos on KZread make it look straightforward as long as you have help feeding the material through.

Hi D. Ordered one today, but only after watching your videos, they were the clincher. I must admit I was a little suspicious regarding quality given the competitive pricing. Found their website difficult. They list 'Electric', 'Manual' and 'Wireless Electric' awnings. I took Electric to mean wall switch operated, and 'Wireless to mean remote control. I had all but given up on the idea until I stumbled on the 'Awning Receiver Box with Remote Control Zappers' option. Which converts the 'Electric' awning to 'electric wireless'. I wonder how many have been unaware of this, and purchased elsewhere. ..... Many thanks Noel

Hi I also have one of these and I bought a fabric cover which fits perfectly and has strings to tie it up.I find it gives extra protection when not in use for the winter.

Great video. I fitted a Primrose awning today but ours comes out straight and not angled down slightly like yours. Is there a way to adjust the angle please..?
@dereton33

Two adjusters one each side to lower the angle.
Fabulous. Mine is a different make but the parts look pretty identical - arms, adjustments etc from what I've seen looking at your other video. Thanks again., Fingers crossed it will be as good. £120 for mine now and it's only 3mx2.5m , so 0.5 shorter than yours I think.

Fitted a 3m awning. Out of the box it way off level when extended so I had to adjust one side. So much for factory settings these days 🤣

have you looked into putting an add-on motor made for awnings? I'm looking into getting one but don't know if I should pay the extra $$$ for an awning with a built in motor.

I am quite disappointed with regard to the fading of the colour of the blind & the valence. I have mine for about 3 years & the colour now is less than half the original depth & intensity. I only put the blind out when needed & not out all day long sunshine or not. So am not too happy with the fading of the colour compared to the original. Am not sire if I can just replace the material of the Blind & the Valence . Does anyone know ir thus is possible.
