STEP 1: Determine position on the wall and mark up
Height of awning
The recommended height from the ground is 2.5m-3.5m. If you wish to install lower
than this, determine whether there is sufficient headroom when the awning is fully
extended and that any doors can open:
Required headroom
- Allow 20cm above any door frame and check that when opened the door
will not interfere with the awning.
- As a guideline, the awning has a drop of 30 cm (2m projection) to 45cm
(2.5m projection) at a slope of 10 degrees below the horizontal.
The recommended slope is factory pre-set. This can be adjusted with a spanner
any time after fitting: from almost horizontal to approx 30 degrees below the horizontal.
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.
Half cassette and electrical awnings
The bracket positions of Half cassette awnings are factory pre-set: the left-
to-right positions of the brackets in relation to the awning can only be adjusted
a few mm in either direction.
(If this is a problem, our Standard Manual awnings have more flexibility as
to the left-right positioning of the brackets)
