I put shutters just like this on my house in Tierra del Sol. No problem with the ARC. They are really heavy and strong. Installing them over vinyl siding necessitated removing the top vinyl trim in order to bolt 2x to the headers with long structural screws, then replacing the trim and bolting the shutters through the trim into the 2x with 5 inch structural screws every six inches. But that should be safer than a canvas awning in a hurricane. But $350? That’s for the smallest and lightest. My four cost $3500 total, and I installed them myself. Custom made in Miami. They look nice, keep out sun, allow me to see out a little.
