Wall mounting

Notes on wall mounting
This awning can be attached to reinforced concrete, brick, and wood. However, only screws suitable for mounting on brick and reinforced concrete walls are supplied.
If you choose to attach your awning to wood, use carriage bolts of the appropriate length and diameter to attach the awning to wooden beams. The size of the screws depends on the thickness of the wood. For the safest possible installation, we recommend hiring a professional.

Attention!

• Never try to attach the wall brackets to loose bricks or to surfaces that are not completely solid!
• Correct positioning of the brackets is the most important consideration when installing the awn-ing. It is critical that you attach any mounting brackets to a pillar, beam, roof beam, or other vital component.
• If all brackets are not securely fastened to the wall, the awning could collapse causing injury or, in the worst case, death.

Mounting height
It is important that you take the inclination of the awning into account before attaching the wall brackets. If you wish to mount the awning e.g., above a patio door, leave at least 20 cm above the door frame and ensure that the awning does not interfere with the opening and closing of the door. The angle of inclina-tion can only be changed slightly. So keep this in mind when deciding where to put your awning.

1. Side view
2. Wall

• The recommended mounting height is between 240 and 365 cm.
• The ideal inclination angle (when the awning is fully extended) has already been set at the factory, so you do not need to change the inclination/angle.
• The angle should be as shown.

Calculations
You can use the following formula to calculate the appropriate angle:
C = A + 0.17 × L

• A = desired height of the front bar
• L = length of the extended awning arm
• C = height of the wall bracket

Step 1: measurement of the installation site

1. Measure the length of the awning along the wall that you intend to attach it to. This line is the highest point of your awning and lines up with the top of the wall bracket. Using a spirit level, draw a line, e.g., with chalk.
2. Important! Make sure that the line is perfectly level.
3. Ensure that the line is centred over the patio door, window, or other part of the building, if appli-cable.
4. Now measure the midpoint of the straight, centred line and mark it. This is where the middle wall bracket is attached.
5. Take a wall bracket and place the top of it perfectly level under the line as shown in the picture. Use chalk or a pencil to mark the position of all wall brackets and their screw holes.

Awnings under 330 cm| require a total of 2 wall brackets, one for each end of the torsion bars
---|---
Awnings 330–426 cm| require a total of 3 wall brackets, one for each end and one for the middle
Awnings 426–609 cm| require a total of 4 wall brackets, one for each end and two for the middle

Step 2: drilling the screw holes

1. After drawing a straight line on the wall and marking the position of the wall brackets and their screw holes, drill holes for attaching the brackets.
2. Using a 19 mm masonry bit, drill the first screw hole approximately 9 cm deep as shown. This must be drilled through a solid brick or concrete so that the awning has sufficient support.
3. Drill the remaining holes according to step 2.

Attention!

• All screw holes must be aligned vertically and horizontally so that the awning hangs straight. Check for correct alignment before drilling if unsure.
• The diameter and depth of the mounting holes must be the same size as the expansion bolts.

Step 3: preparations for mounting

1. Now that all the holes have been drilled, insert the expansion bolts.

2. It may be necessary to drive the bolts in with a mallet (or non-metallic hammer).
   Note! If a hammer is required for assembly, we recommend putting the nut on the bolts (loosely) before hammering to avoid damaging the threads.

3. Make sure that the bolts are secure but do not protrude more than 2.5 cm from the wall – enough for the wall bracket to be attached to them.

4. Tighten the bolts securely with a 19 mm hex wrench. It is best to use a closed-ended hex wrench rather than an open-ended wrench to avoid damaging the nut if the wrench slips off.

Step 4: installing the wall brackets

1. When the bolts are tight in the wall, remove the nuts that are loose on them.
2. Put a wall bracket on a set of bolts. This should be easy to do if the screw holes are properly aligned.
3. Once the wall bracket is seated on the bolts, place a washer over each bolt, then secure with a nut as shown.
4. The bracket must be firmly attached to the wall. If it moves, you need to tighten it even more.
5. Repeat this step for each wall bracket. When that has been done, all wall brackets will be se-curely in place.

Step 5: installing the awning

1. With the wall brackets securely in place, the awning is secured to the brackets.
2. At least two ladders are required to isntall the awning.
3. Place the expansion bolts onto the wall brackets and tighten.
4. Finally, tighten all expansion bolts.
5. Open your awning fully using the hand crank or a motor (if you have one). The front bar should be horizontal.
6. Your awning is now fully assembled. If you are happy with the height of the front bar (inclination of the awning), you do not need to do anything else. If you are unsatisfied, read the following section.

Adjusting the inclination/angle of the awning
Every awning comes with a pre-set inclination (angle) that is considered ideal. However, if you need to make an adjustment, it can be done in a few simple steps.

Attention! When you raise the front bar, the inclination (angle) of the awning fabric decreases, increas-ing the risk of rainwater collecting on the fabric. To prevent the awning from collapsing under the weight of rainwater, you must retract it when not in use. Failure to do so may result in the awning breaking or personal injury.
Note! Note that the front bar must be adjusted so that it is completely straight. Any misadjustment will result in incorrect retracting.

Common mistakes

Warning! When the front bar touches the roller as shown in the picture, do not try to approach it further, otherwise the product may be damaged.
