The Primrose Awning three years after fitting. What`s it like now?

Three years later and a look at how well the Awning is performing. Compare this video to the original, to check out shade fade and any wear on the frame.

looks fantastic still so very good after 3yrs.

[@dereton33]

Yes it is still pretty good.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Thanks for taking the trouble to make this useful video. I'm researching at present prior to getting one for the back garden. Took me a while to realise there must be excellent KZbin videos like your to help me out. Much appreciated!

[@dereton33]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidjones7615]

Just bought one. Thanks for your vids, really helped me out and good to see how well made they are.

[@dereton33]

Glad you like them!

We have now put the new fabric awning into the Primrose awning. It took us (two 78-year-olds who are not keen on climbing ladders!) about 15 minutes from start to finish. We are thrilled with the results.

[@dereton33]

Well done Anthony.

[@Justin52wales]

Ours came with the house so has to be around 10 years old now and still works great and only washed it once and used tent waterproofing on it a year ago and loving it

[@Tracks777]

I look forward to more videos.Keep it up!

[@anthonypaynter828]

We have had our Primrose Awning for 8 or 9 years but the fabric has got badly marked and the valance is faded & frayed. Unfortunately Primrose don't do replacement fabric but we got a superb replacement from TG Outlets on Ebay. The fabric is a better quality than the original. I Will report back when we have replaced it. The videos on KZbin make it look straightforward as long as you have help feeding the material through.

[@dereton33]

Keep us updated thanks Antony.

Hi D. Ordered one today, but only after watching your videos, they were the clincher. I must admit I was a little suspicious regarding quality given the competitive pricing. Found their website difficult. They list 'Electric', 'Manual' and 'Wireless Electric' awnings. I took Electric to mean wall switch operated, and 'Wireless to mean remote control. I had all but given up on the idea until I stumbled on the 'Awning Receiver Box with Remote Control Zappers' option. Which converts the 'Electric' awning to 'electric wireless'. I wonder how many have been unaware of this, and purchased elsewhere. ..... Many thanks Noel

[@dereton33]

Still love ours and still working fine.

[@embracethememe4888]

Gosh, thank you for providing such inciteful and informative news of your awning. I can sleep sound now

[@dereton33]

No problem.

[@johnrc6338]

Hi I also have one of these and I bought a fabric cover which fits perfectly and has strings to tie it up.I find it gives extra protection when not in use for the winter.

[@dereton33]

Great tip!

[@2wheelspy]

Big thanks for uploading these videos on awnings, as I’m looking to purchase one myself. Can I ask, did you ever put that fire pit underneath the awning? Would you say it’s ok to have that type of fire pit on decking?

[@dereton33]

Ours as been quite safe.

[@Telthecelt]

Fabulous. Mine is a different make but the parts look pretty identical - arms, adjustments etc from what I've seen looking at your other video. Thanks again., Fingers crossed it will be as good. £120 for mine now and it's only 3mx2.5m , so 0.5 shorter than yours I think.

[@dereton33]

Sounds great!

[@sophiamcnamara9851]

fabulous still as new 👏👏

[@shaunfielding6790]

Fitted a 3m awning. Out of the box it way off level when extended so I had to adjust one side. So much for factory settings these days 🤣

[@dereton33]

Use your own judgement is always best.

[@stuartmiller9648]

Great video. I fitted a Primrose awning today but ours comes out straight and not angled down slightly like yours. Is there a way to adjust the angle please..?

[@dereton33]

Two adjusters one each side to lower the angle.

[@BigDuke6ixx]

Extremely helpful info, thanks for sharing.

[@dereton33]

No problem

[@MaximusMingus]

Thanks for the update, I assume it was the standard one for that price not the half or full cassette as its covered by the roof soffit when retracted?

[@dereton33]

Yes it was.

[@luluthestargazer]

I love your videos! thank you!

[@dereton33]

You are so welcome!

[@fruitfarm]

hi When you get to changing the fabric after a while could you video it for us please? Mines due to be changed and i wouldn't know where to start! Great Vids btw

[@dereton33]

Will do.

[@elliep71]

The fabric on mine has moved and I can’t get it back

[@dereton33]

O dear

[@keithpaice2409]

I am quite disappointed with regard to the fading of the colour of the blind & the valence. I have mine for about 3 years & the colour now is less than half the original depth & intensity. I only put the blind out when needed & not out all day long sunshine or not. So am not too happy with the fading of the colour compared to the original. Am not sire if I can just replace the material of the Blind & the Valence . Does anyone know ir thus is possible.

[@dereton33]

Try primrose.

[@2wheelspy]

Do you think it’s worth getting the half cassette compared to your standard version?

[@dereton33]

No ours is brilliant.

[@lubagrassi3553]

Hi, How to install awning on a brick wall when brick isn't solid inside?

[@dereton33]

Sorry I cannot help you. you will need a builder to advise you.

[@Groover1]

Am I able to fix this awning to wood ? Thanks.

[@dereton33]

So long as it is sustantial.

[@briandodds3988]

I've just installed a manual awning and winding in and out seems quite noisy. How quiet should it be please?

[@dereton33]

Real quiet.

[@briandodds3988]

Thank you! I thought so... :-(

[@toppertruthio]

try oiling it,works for me

[@thePM..]

Does anybody know if this can be done with only 1 person and 1 ladder, please?

[@dereton33]

No you will need a lift at the other end when lifting onto the brackets.

[@gangakhadka5777]

in nepal which city we buy it

[@dereton33]

London.

[@jodi221069]

Is this the standard or budget one as budget is £109 but standard is £259

[@dereton33]

The budget one.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

@@dereton33 Wow! Pretty good.

[@tonywilson1581]

Can this be attach to a timber building?

[@dereton33]

So long as the timber is substantial.

[@mymainmandeebo]

have you looked into putting an add-on motor made for awnings? I'm looking into getting one but don't know if I should pay the extra $$$ for an awning with a built in motor.

[@dereton33]

+Adeeb Parkar No I Prefer the exercise

[@mymainmandeebo]

dereton33 i don't mind it either but my wife would 😁

[@anthonypaynter828]

@@mymainmandeebo We made a length of metal rod with a hooked end and put the other end into the electric drill. It saved £££££s

[@RaphyRandom]

what size is you Awning ?

[@dereton33]

3 mts

[@psisky]

I'd love you both to do a tour of your garden plants.

[@dereton33]

We will book that one in.

[@cliffcarlo180]

I shall also look forward to that one.

[@skunkwurkz]

I'd love to see that too! The garden looks a lovely and your patio looks a great spot to sit back with a drink 🍻and enjoy the hard work that went into it.

[@dereton33]

Ha ha thanks. we will do that garden review.
