He is smooth. The rotation function was something hakelig at the first rotation, but after I have repeatedly turned it around the circle, this has done and everything can be nice turn slightly after pressing the foot pedal now.
The crank function in order to open and close is great and the centerpiece of the screen. Goes smoothly and quickly. The additional tilt function of the screen is a powerful shade can produce. But this strong tendency possibilities should really only use with very little wind, because that the screen provides a lot of attack. The cross connector 7 and 8 main connectors that are all 8 together divide the screen into 8 plots very stable and made of aluminum steel. Weatherproof painted. The buckling is not as fast a. At most, the individual plastic connectors could break sometime in a few years, this is not clear.
What I do not like so much solely the small paint damage that has the screen. Two on the mast and 2 on the transverse connectors. But those are all not so very striking, you can live with. Come what probably still do so. In the coming years
Overall a great screen at a fair price. I would order it again. A successful alternative to an expensive awning. In addition, one is thus not bound to a patio or so, but you can do it by means of very stable and wide stand (by the 4-way plates) in the garden somewhere else, for example, put on the meadow.
