Awning
Details How to Measure for
Your Retractable Arm Awning You will need a clear span (no projections like vents, lights,
down spouts, trim details etc.) that is 10" high to attach
the mounting brackets for the awning. NOTE: The
length of the awning is determined by the overall length of the roller tube
and it's fittings. The fabric is approximately 6"(3" on each side)
less than the total length.
Awnings can be mounted to any solid surface,
however you should ensure that the bolts penetrate a structural member (stud,
header, beam etc.) a minimum of 1 1/2". The bottom of the frame, measured
at the point of attachment should be a minimum of 7'6" from the deck or
patio. If you are ordering a protective hood allow an additional 1.5" in
length. Should you be mounting the awning over an out swinging French or storm
door, the awning should be mounted at least 10" above the top of the door.
For difficult or low applications, we offer ceiling and roof mounting brackets
(see below).
After
measuring the length, you need to determine which projection you need.
The projections shown are
the maximum distance out from the mounting wall the awning will cover.
Make sure that there are no obstructions in the area that the awning
will cover. The slope (pitch) of the awning is adjustable.
Finally,
determine the operation, or which side of the awning you want the crank
and/or motor to be located. Standing on the deck or patio facing the
mounting
wall,
select left or right. Your choice should be based on ease of access
and any obstructions. If the awning is to be motorized, access to the
power source is an obvious consideration.
A
complete set of instructions is sent with every
awning. Should you need further assistance in measuring, we are just a phone
call away.

of your awning. Additionally, you may order the frame and

Motors & Accessories
- All awnings come standard with manual crank operation. A remote
controlled plug-in manual override motor is available as an
option. By having the manual override, should you lose power and
your awning is extended, you will be able to manually retract it. We
also offer a multi-channel remote control that will allow you to control
up to five awnings with one remote.

Also gives a more finished look to the installation. It is not needed if
the awning is mounted under an overhang. Hoods are made of aluminum and available
in colors to match the frame. Hoods add 1.5" to the length of
the awning.

and 90 degree models. See table for number
of brackets needed.
