D. INSTALLINg WALL BRACKETS TO
BRICK OR STONE
For installation of the awning on brick or stone,
follow the same general procedure as listed for
flat siding with the following difference:
1. You may need to locate the center of all of the
studs from the inside of the house and then mea-
sure their locations from the outside openings.
2. After the location of the holes has been marked,
use a ½" masonry bit to drill through the brick or
stone. Be careful not to drill into the studs with
the masonry bit.
3. Insert ½" x 5-1/2" aluminum tubing into each of
the holes. (The tubing can be purchased at a lo-
cal hardware store in 3' sticks and cut into 5-1/2"
pieces using a hacksaw.)
4. Proceed with the installation of the adapter plate
as mentioned above, however use 3/8" x 8" lag
screws rather than those provided with the adapt-
er kit.
