Choosing a Location for the Awning
1. Choose an appropriate place on the wall at least 10’ (3 m) above the ground.
2. Mark the chosen height and draw a 12’ (3.7 m) horizontal line matching the awning frame.
Mark the left and right endpoints of the line. See figure below.
3. From each endpoint, measure 4” (10.2 cm) inward and mark the location. These locations
are where the left and right wall brackets will be mounted.
4. Mark the midpoint or centre of the two locations (see figure below). The midpoint is where
the middle bracket will be mounted and should be equal distant from the other two
bracket locations.
≥ 10’ (3 m)
4” (10.2 cm)
≥ 10’ (3 m)
centre
4” (10.2 cm)
Note:
Proper location of the brackets is the most important aspect of mounting the awning.
Make sure the middle bracket is positioned correctly to fit the space in the centre of the
awning frame. If not, the awning cannot be retracted fully.
Install the wall brackets with the hinges facing out. If not, the awning cannot be retracted
fully.
