After reading the reviews before ordering, the directions were not as horrible as I thought they would be, but not as clear as they should have been. Basically you connected the left side to the right for the 3 main sections, then connected the 3 sections together. I originally put the front piece on backwards do to the unclear instructions, but I was able to rectify my error pretty easily.
As far as attaching the awning to the front of my pool shed, we removed the front board and attached a 2x8 to the roof rafters, we then attached the 3 brackets that hold the awning onto the 2x8, aiming for the roof rafter studs. We bought some heavy duty screws that you would use assembling a wooden swing set instead of using the expansion bolts that came with the awning, and intended for concrete or brick. It has only been up 3 days, but it appears to be sturdy.
There is a gap between the roofline and the awning, so I need to get a piece of flashing to cover the gap so that we don't get wet during rain.
Speaking of rain, our 4th of July party was a washout and other than the gap, kept me and my guests dry. I had to regularly push the water that was pooling in the awning off, but it made for a nice water park bucket experience for the kids walking around the pool, lol! I hope the pictures help..
