I think i got a LEMON

I very much disliked the instructions. They are poor at best. This thing was a nightmare mainly because i had nothing to refer to that made sense. The instructions warn to install to a brick building only while the ad on amazon showed it differently and contradicted the instructions. I managed to reinforce the stud wall and siding to make it secure. I had to disassemble and re-assemble to make it work like the instructions showed it to function. It is like it was assembled incorrectly at the factory. I am still not able to get the sag out of the awning material. Worse of all i dont know if the way i have it assembled is still correct or not. I havent called the company yet to see if they will be of any help. It sure is flimsily and a decent gust of wing will wreck it for sure. It's been 2 months since i put it up and used it once just because i am so disgusted with it and that i didnt send it back once i had all the issues. I wish i had my money back and they had this unit in the manufacturers' trash bin where i think it belongs. Sounds like others had no issues and are enjoying their shade cover ........ as for me, I think i got one out of a batch of made wrongs. I have high mechanical skills, am over 60 years old, and can fix about anything given enough time. Here goes 4 hours of my life i wont get back. Should i waste anymore time on it?
