Had a salesgirl pop around today to give a quote on a motorised awning,
width 3.5m and extends over by 3m. The 'monaco' cassette unit is made by
a company called weiner (google failed me here) and it looks a solid
affair - but very expensive, the quote is around £3500 including fitting.

So me thinks - materials can't cost that much for a motor, fabric,
electrics and mountings. Was expecting to pay less that half that at
least. So it's a big mark up -- or is it? Anyone got good experience of
a decent cheaper system for my dimensions. I'm not adverse to installing
it myself.

Cheers
