I'd worry a little about muiltipath when a satellite is in the exact "wrong" place in the sky. But on the other hand the awning is below the horizon as seen from your antenna's location. You could improve the situation a lot by using a taller mast. Can't you another section of pipe and get it way above the awning? As long as you are a few feet (not inches) above I think it's OK but it is so easy to make a pipe longer
