   AWNING / PATIO COVER 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 
 
 

 

 

Before You Begin 

Read the installation instructions thoroughly before beginning the installation procedure. 

Perspective  

In  the  Awning  Instructions,  “Back”  means  toward  the  home,  “Front”  means  away  from  the  home, 
“Right”  means  the  right  side  when  facing  the  home,  and  “Left”  means  the  left  side  when  facing  the 
home. 
 
In general, we will begin assembling the Awning from the right to the left. The normal slope per foot of 
projection  for  the  Awning  is  1-1/2”  or  greater.  The  minimum  slope  is  1-1/3”  per  foot  of  projection. 
Anything less than 1-1/3” may cause water to flow toward the home. Clearance above a door should 
be a minimum of 6” to assure that the Awning will not interfere with the opening of the door. 
 

Tools Needed 

Drill, 1/8” and 5/32” Drill Bits, 1/4” Masonry Bit, 5/16” and 1/4” Nut Drivers, Level, Hack Saw, Shears, 
Vise Grip or Clamp.
