Awnings are so much trouble, you really have to ask if they are worth having them. Most of the time they are rolled up, and when you want them to un roll, they won't or they un roll whille your driving down the highway. Then the wind comes up and you scramble to roll them up and they end up over the top of your roof. If you don't use them enough, they refuse to work, and when you do use them for shade, the sun still gets in.
There's got to be a better way.
