REVIEW
SunSetter Awnings are available in six models with a range of color choices that make each type customizable.
The Manual VISTA awning provides the same protection from the elements as the motorized versions, but electricity is not required. A hand crank lets users extend or retract the awning.
SunSetter’s Model 1000XT awning was built for larger areas. It uses the same manual technology as the VISTA model, but because of the large size, the Model 1000XT is supported with vertical arms. The only difference between the 1000XT and the 900XT is that the 900XT is smaller. Both models can be customized with an optional screen room.
SunSetter also makes freestanding awnings. The Oasis was designed to be used in backyards, decks, pool areas, or anywhere else a traditional awning cannot be mounted. It comes in two sizes, and shoppers have the choice between manual and motorized versions. Keep in mind, the motorized version will require electricity. A 24 ft. power cord is included with the motorized model.
Shoppers can choose between woven acrylic or laminated fabric. The acrylic fabric is water-repellent and resists fading. The laminated fabric is fade, mildew and fire-resistant, and waterproof. Both choices come in a range of color and pattern options. Potential buyers can request up to three free fabric samples to help make the decision easier.
Most models allow further customization with add-on features, like dimming LED lights, protective aluminum hoods, weatherbreakers, panels, patio lights, covers, cleaning kits and mats.
Each awning comes with a 5-year limited warranty, and an All Weather Warranty can be added for an additional fee. SunSetter offers a 90-day home trial.
