Options Explained
The number and variety of options
available can be overwhelming at first, here is an overview of
the most important option and choices you have on you retractable
awning. If you have any questions call us or send us an E-Mail: Contact
Us
| Width |
This will be the overall width of your awning,
however, the fabric itself will be about 4 inches
smaller than that.
|
| Projection |
Important: For technical design reasons, you can not
choose a projection that is larger than the width of the
Awning.
Note: The Awning will retract at an angle, so if you
wish to cover you entire deck / patio, the projection
should be longer than the depth of your deck. See measuring
for details.

all other aluminum components. At no additional charge,

| Mounting Options |
|
|
Wall
Mount
Brackets can be installed right on the siding.
Just make sure lag bolt go into your wall studs or
header |
|
|
|
|
|
Ceiling
Mount
Brackets are mounted to the soffit or joists.
Make sure they are strong enough to support the
extended awning. If you have a soft soffit you may
have to cut out the area where the brackets will
be installed and use a spacer. |

|
|
|
Roof
Mount
Brackets are mounted to the roof rafters. The
face of the roof bracket should be mounted
10" back from the gutter for a flush
installation. This installation option is only available for
asphalt shingle roofs. A hood is
recommended. Motorized operation strongly recommended

| Hood
Cover |
The hood cover protects your awning when retracted. It
is best to add this option if you mount your retractable
awning on the roof or if you do not have an overhang /
soffit that protects your awnings, when retracted.
Beware: This is not a plastic hood! Our hood cover is
made of extruded aluminum and will be powder
coated in the same color as your Awning Frame.
Note:
the Hood Cover will be 1 inch wider than the width of
your awning.
