Installation Notes regarding undesirable drop of the awning when extended
Wall construction may not be perpendicular to the ground. Use a level to check. The weight of the awning, especially when
extended, will cause unforeseen force/drag/depression on certain wall materials and affect the drop/drag of the awning when
extended. It is important to make adjustments at the time of bracket installation if you desire zero drop/drag of the front bar
when the awning is extended. The following list of wall materials and steps necessary to correct drop/drag are provided:
1. Wood: The awning weight will force the wood to bow/twist. Place enough (2-4) large washers between wall and
bottom holes of the brackets to change the angle of the brackets in order to compensate for unwanted drop/drag of
front bar when awning is extended.
2. Siding: The awning weight will force siding material to compress/warp/twist as there is a gap between siding and
structural supports in the wall. Place enough washers (2-4) between siding and bottom holes of the brackets to
compensate for unwanted drop/drag of front bar when awning is extended.
3. Brick: Bricks may be uneven. Place a board or flat surface across installation plane to determine whether brackets
will be level. Place enough washers (2-4) between siding and bottom holes of the brackets to compensate for
unwanted drop/drag of front bar when awning is extended.
