Platinum Manual Awning
Our notes
Buyers who want a crank instead of a motor can look at the Platinum Manual, offered up to 216 in wide. Of the 13 manual awnings in our list, only one is sold wider. Extension runs from 7 ft on the 8 ft model to 10 ft 1 in on 12 to 18 ft models. SunSetter states its awnings "withstood winds of 55–75mph, in tests by an independent laboratory." It lists wood, brick, stucco, aluminum and vinyl siding, plus eaves with soffit brackets. No price was posted on November 1, 2026.

Wind
"SunSetter Awnings withstood winds of 55–75mph, in tests by an independent laboratory."
Copied exactly from the seller's page, read 2026-11-01. Sellers don't test wind the same way, so this can't be compared with another seller's figure. More on wind wording.
How it mounts depends on your wall, fascia or beam. Confirm it with the maker or a licensed installer.
