Mounting the Brackets
Position the bracket on the wall (or on the shim), and mark the top and bottom holes.
Remove the bracket and drill the top hole through the siding block or shim (if appropriate)
and about 3-1/2” into the stud or joist. Using a 1/4” drill bit. This will prevent the framing
from splitting while installing the lag screws. Make sure the bottom hole is plumbed with the
top hole, then drill the bottom hole.
Using a 9/16” socket, install the bracket with the two 3/8” x 4” long lag screws. While
tightening the lag screws, keep the bracket plumb (use level if needed). Do not over tighten
the lag screws; doing so may split the wood framing or weaken the screw.
Brick and concrete
Use a 5/8” Masonry drill bit. Insert 3/8" long lag shield and use 3/8” x 4” long lag screws, or
use 3/8" concrete drop anchors.
The masonry fasteners are ONLY to be installed within the main body of a brick, not within
1/2” of an outer edge of the brick. Fasteners are also not suitable for hollow cinder-block
type construction or wall surfaces that have deteriorated.
Standard Mounting Brackets
The standard mounting brackets (Picture 1) can only be used for wall and roof mounting.

(Picture 2), it can also be used for regular wall mounting. For roof mounting, an additional
adjustable bracket is needed (Picture 3).
