Mark the center location for each
End Mounting Bracket
on the
house 5-4” or 4’-2” apart (refer to the supplied CAD of your
system). One
End Mounting Bracket
is needed for every
projection beam. Be sure to allow approximately 4” on the
outside of outermost brackets for inserting bolts into brackets.
Step 2
Attach
End Mounting Brackets
Mount the
End Mounting Brackets
on each center mark, using
the center notch as a guide. The brackets should be mounted
so that the the slanting edge of the bracket is to the top (as in
illustration). Be sure to mount the brackets level with each
other. Use a 9/64” drill bit to drill pilot holes. Wood screws are
included (1-1/4” screw c). . . any other type of screws (such as
masonry screws for brick or stone) can be purchased from
your hardware store. The Bracket can be used as its own
template for marking pilot holes.

When mounting to house, brackets must be attached to
well-secured wood, brick or stone.
• If mounting to a house with wood siding, or to wood trim,
use the 1-1/4” #10 wood screws with the painted heads.
• If mounting to a masonry wall (brick or stone) concrete
fastening screws must be used. Consult your hardware
store for the best fastener for your situation.

Assembly Instructions
If there is no “fall” in your deck or patio surface (in most cases,
there is some fall so rain will drain away from the house), you
can place the
End Mounting Bracket
as high as 9’ 2-3/4” from the
patio surface at the house (A). However, if there is fall from your
house (A) to the place where the columns are to be placed (C),
it is necessary to adjust the height of the
End Mounting
Brackets
to accommodate for this difference in surface levels.
See the CAD drawing that came with the system to determine
distance from house to center of Column (B). To determine the
“fall” from your house to the surface on which the columns will
be anchored (C), extend a string level from base of house (A) to
the to center line of
Column
(B) and measure the distance (fall)
from level line at (B) to mounting surface (C).
Subtract the “fall” dimension from 9 ’2-3/4” to determine the
maximum height (based on 10’ columns, if you are using 12’ or
higher columns, add 2’ respectively) at which the top of the
mounting bracket can be installed. Mark this position
temporally on the house.
See following illustration and dimensions to determine
maximum height of End Mounting Bracket on the house.
Step 1
Determine the
height
of your
ShadeTree®
Bungalow
System
To determine the height at which to place the
End
Mounting Brackets
(which hold the
Projection Beams
) on the
house, it is important to know the maximum height of the
mounting bracket relative to the maximum height of the
aluminum columns.
For a standard 10’ column, the maximum height to top edge of End
Mounting Bracket is 9’ 2-3/4” from surface on which columns will be
anchored. (See vertical arrow at far right side of diagram above. )
