INSTALLING BRACKETS
PLACEMENT OF THE BRACKETS IN THE OPTIMUM LOCATION WILL GREATLY AFFECT YOUR LONG TERM HAPPINESS WITH YOUR
AWNING. BELOW YOU WILL FIND A PLACMENT GUIDE.
DETERMINING BRACKET PLACEMENT
Please refer to the following drawings on page 6-8 to determine your particular mounting
brackets needs.
If A most closely reflect your application, this requires wall brackets which are included with your awning.
If B most closely reflects your desired application you will need wall brackets for both applications (which come with your
awning, however, if you choose a roof mounted application you must purchase one roof bracket per wall bracket required.
You must center and secure your brackets into the center of studs or rafters. These are hidden from view behind your wall surfaces
or roof surface. A stud finder is a tool that finds nails with an internal magnet. Nails are a indictor of where studs and rafters are,
but not a guarantee. It is extremely important that you test your conclusions. Nails will be found in vertical lines. Fully install a bolt
in the location where you have concluded your stud or rafter is located; if at any time it becomes easy to turn the ratchet, you ARE
NOT in the stud or rafter. For guide purposes only; most studs are rafters are 12”, 16”, or 24” apart.
Mark all the locations of the studs or rafters in the area where you have decided to install your awning.
It is recommended that there should be one bracket each next to the lateral arms. Choose the appropriate studs or rafters to install
your brackets onto. Hint: short studs above windows and doors are structural and may be used to secure bracket as well as full
length studs. (See the picture in the Below.)
