Platinum XL Awning
Our notes
The Platinum XL pairs a Somfy motor with a manual override and plugs in using an 18 ft cord. It extends 11 ft 8 in or 13 ft 1 in and comes up to 240 in wide. At $4,966.00 Costco member price for the 14 ft size on November 1, 2026, it was the second highest posted price among the 28 awnings in our list with a price. Listed surfaces include wood, brick, stucco, aluminum and vinyl siding, plus eaves with soffit brackets. SunSetter's wind wording cites independent laboratory testing.

Wind
"Your awning is built to withstand heavy winds while extended as proven by independent laboratory testing."
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.
