Overall dim. of wdo is 60.75 in wide by 48.50 in vertical, i.e. it is also the size of the opng in the wall which accommodates the window. What is Awntech's [Hustonian awning model] recommended size for this window whose anchor mounting locations fit the window framing?? The typical wall is 2 by 4 wood studs, wall sheathing, and stuccoed. The concern is ordering an awning, like the Hustonian, whose mounting points find the wood studs.
