CAUTION: PROPER LOCATION OF THE BRACKETS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ASPECT OF THE AWNING INSTALLATION. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU FASTEN
ALL THE MOUNTING BRACKETS TO STUDS, JOISTS, HEADERS OR OTHER
MAJOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.
WARNING: FAILURE TO SECURELY FASTEN ALL THE BRACKETS TO THE WALL
COULD RESULT IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE AWNING AND CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
Step 3: Drill the holes.
Use a 14 mm masonry drill bit to drill the holes for the brackets at the appropriate
marks on the wall.
Picture 3:The holes should be 4 inches (9cm) deep in the wall and must be drilled
through solid brick or concrete. Do not drill through mortar because this does not
offer the support that is required for the awning.
Installation on timber houses and sheds:
The awning can also be installed on timber houses if their walls can carry the
weight of the awning. In this case, ensure the brackets are firmly secured to the
outside of solid wooden beams.
The anchor bolts from the delivered package are not suitable for mounting the
awning to wooden beams. Instead buy carriage bolts of adequate length and of an
appropriate diameter and secure the awning with them.
Step 4: Attachment brackets for wall:
Picture 4:After inserting the wall bolt, add the washers and then the wall brackets.
Now place the washers on the bolt head and firmly tighten the 17mm nuts.
Note:
1. It may be necessary to drive the anchor bolts in with a wooden mallet because
they do not go in easily. Do not use a metal hammer for this purpose because this
could damage the threads on the top of the bolts.
2. If the bolts need to be driven into the wall with a hammer, we recommend initially
placing the nut on the screw loosely(only placing it loosely on the bolt) because this
avoids damaging to the bolt threads.
3. Firmly tighten the bolts with a 17mm hex key: it is best to use a hex key with a
closed end rather than an open end because this will avoid damaging to the nut of it
should slip.
4. As soon as they are fully inserted, the brackets must sit firmly in the wall. If they
are still moving in some direction you must further tighten it.
5. Do not try to secure the wall brackets to loose wall stones or any surfaces that
are not absolutely firm.
6. Ensure that the wall brackets are screwed firmly to the wall, so that they can in no
case tear out when the awning is being installed.
