If your intention was to make an instructional video, maybe don't interrupt all the shots -- *which are supposed to be showing us what to do* -- with all these stupid, obstructive jump cuts and visual effects. Just terrible.

Like everyone else it seems I have no clue how the blockers go in, how far in, what they do, the instructions say don't open up the bars until they are connected but the video shows this as how you do it.

Looking for instruction not cinematography....c’mon. This was USE-LESS!

Jeez, tough crowd... I wanted to ask how I can find someone to finish assembling my 10 ft awning. It’s supposed to be freestanding and no motor, just the manual crank. I think the company I ordered from sent the wrong screws. Got them in but they’re not secure, not sure how to attach the crank, and bc it kept pitching forward, I just tilted it back against the patio wall. It fell after a few days😳 the screws came out. Any direction is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Ha! I found the video not too bad if you kept backing it up and stopping on key frames to make sure your install was matching theirs but they never showed where to position the slide arm bar link after attaching and then just said Finished. Not a word about where to position the blockers. Also, the job is not finished until the awning is on the side of the building. Maybe if the instruction manual were better, I would make my own video on how to actually do it but my awning is finished putting together now and I haven't a clue how to adjust the blockers and where they are positioned. Aleko will answer a telephone call for support but just a bit of instruction or a decent video would make that unnecessary. I will keep watching videos and maybe find someone that knows a bit about these awnings.

If you want ppl to buy this awning don’t do this type of installation video. It’s the worst ever.

This is the absolute WORST instructional video I have ever seen! WTF???

[sallyhoward]

WAY too fast... This is supposed to be an informational video on how to assemble the awning. This video made me dizzy watching it. Too much flashing and jumping from scene to scene. I don't think you need to go into painful detail on assembly, but a little detail is needed!

The editing on this is seizure inducing with all the flashes and cuts and focuses and fades and black and white and... it's just awful.
