A Word of Warning: Mom taught us that if you couldn't say something nice don't say anything at all. We try to follow that rule when it comes to our competition, but sometimes you have to make an exception.

There are a lot of awnings now hitting the market at very low prices. While this might seem like a good thing, this time it may not be such a good deal. Many of these cheap awnings are made in Asia using cast metal parts similar to the brackets shown on the right. Like the pictured brackets, these parts frequently do not survive shipment to the customer let alone last very long on the back of a home. While the casting process produces parts at a low price, it often leaves voids in the metal making it weak.

All of our manufacturers use forged parts that are strong enough to hold up to the most demanding residential and commercial conditions - and they will arrive in one piece!
