We installed this product over the back door of our garage which exits to the backyard. It works great to keep the rain from getting in under the door and into our garage. And, for what it's worth, it is attractive. The only hiccup is that it came with installation bolts for a brick of concrete building. Our house is all wood and such I had to go to the hardware store to purchase lag bolts and washers. Not a big deal, but it was an additional cost. It would be nice if the manufacturer asked where it would be installed and provided the proper bolts. Perhaps it was me, but the included instructions appear to show the OPPOSITE way of how the frame is to be assembled. I intend to purchase two more of these canopies for my front windows.
