Installation

Installation site

WARNING
Consult a specialist, if there is any doubt on the
load carrying capacity of the installation site.
Prior to the installation, check if the wall or ceiling at
the installation site has sufficient load carrying capac-
ity. Special care needs to be taken if the installation
shall be carried out at an insulated wall or ceiling, as
the increasing demands on thermal insulation reduce
the tensile forces of anchor bolts and other fastenings.
Make sure the installation site is straight and allows
the correct positioning of the awning in terms of
height and the desired pitch angle of the awning.

Wind resistance classes

This awning is designed to withstand Beaufort force 5
wind speeds, which equals wind resistance class 2.
The combination of wall type and mounting material
used at your installation site might result in a lower
wind resistance class for your awning.

If not every qualification can be covered by the in-

ist to perform the installation.
An installation specialist will be able to provide infor-
mation about the wind resistance class the awning can
withstand after the installation. The table below can
be used to identify different wind speeds by observing
tree movement:
WIND SPEED IMPLICATION
up to 19 km/h Leaves and small twigs constantly moving
20 - 27 km/h Small branches begin to move,
loose paper is raised from the ground
28 - 37 km/h Branches of a moderate size move,
small trees in leaf are sway
38 - 48 km/h Large branches in motion,
umbrella use becomes difficult
