ᐅ Assessing Awning Quality Based on the Manufacturer

I am having an awning about 5 meters (16 feet) wide replaced.
I want one that lasts a long time. The current one – probably after 25 years or more – still works mechanically and is technically fine, but most of the seams have come undone.
Does anyone know a company known for its quality? (like Mercedes or Rolls Royce)

These things can be expensive, that's true.
And no, I don’t want to spend a lot of money on purpose, but I want to be as sure as possible that I’m getting something good.

Since we’re on the topic:
I can’t decide whether to get a motorized or a manual one.
Any technical sophistication can break, so I often choose “less,” but we will probably add a second awning under the roof (which is currently being raised), and on the south side it’s often really important to have one because otherwise it gets too warm...
And the manual cranking can be annoying.
I’m 70 years old today and of course still fit 😎, but I’m not getting any younger...
How advanced is the technology? … and how difficult is it likely to be to have repairs done?

For example, Weinor has a good reputation.
As far as I know, awning motors do not tend to fail quickly.
I still have one from 1993 that works perfectly and operates a 4 x 7m (13 x 23 ft) awning.
I would also choose an electric motor for remote control when not at home.

Markilux and Varisol come to mind as well. With awnings, you can also simply replace the fabric. 🙂

We have had a Leiner one for over 10 years, also electric. It is still in excellent condition and has never needed any repairs.

Weinor ... okay ... thanks ...
have a look ...

What exactly do you want to replace? The fabric or the entire awning? If it’s just the seams that are damaged, you can simply replace the fabric. If the awning itself then breaks down, you can still replace it and continue to use the awning fabric.

That’s what we did in the spring.
