Mounting Brackets must be installed into solid structure (wood beams, studs, concrete, and/
or roof rafters), sufficient to support the weight and anticipated wind load. (Note: it is highly
recommended that the awning be retracted in moderate to strong wind conditions to prevent
damage). Locate stud, beam or rafter and confirm that the structure is solid.
The awning can be either wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted.
The instructions provided below are for wall mounting. If the
procedure is different for ceiling installation, explanations will be
provided as needed. This procedure must be performed by at
least two workers.
