Height of awning:
The recommended height from the ground is 2.5m-3.5m. If you want to install lower than this, determine
whether there is sufficient headroom when the awning is fully extended and that any doors, windows can
open.
Required headroom:
- Allow 20cm above any door/window frame and check that when opened the door will not interfere with the
awning.
Horizontal positioning of brackets:
Using laser, spirit level or other method, mark an accurate horizontal line at the required height.
Fixing must be directly into brick or concrete. Mortar joints between the bricks or blocks will NOT
be secure enough to bolt into.
Installing onto wooden houses and chalets:
You can install 1.5m -3.0m drop arm awnings onto wooden walls and chalets providing that the wall has
adequate strength to support the weight of the awning. Always ensure that the wall brackets are securely
fitted onto the outside of strong wooden wall studs.
The wall bolts provided in the fitting kit will not be suitable for securing to wooden studs; therefore you will
need to purchase
Coach Bolts
of sufficient length and diameter from your local hardware store to replace
the wall bolts (expansion bolts) provided. If unsure, consult a qualified structural engineer for expert advice.
