APPLICATION H
INSTALLING ROOF MOUNTING BRACKET TO ROOF:
ROOF BRACKETS MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU HIRE A PROFESSIONAL ROOFING CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL THE
ROOF MOUNT BRACKETS AND AWNING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO THE INSTALLER
AND DAMAGE THE PROPERTY
Place a safe ladder on a flat, dry, stable surface at both ends of where the awning will be
installed
Using a stud finder, mark the center of all the rafters along the line where the awning will be
installed. Failure to center bolts in structural boards will cause premature failure and result in
awning collapse and possible injury.
Mark both ends of where the awning will be installed on that line.
There should be one bracket within one feet of each end or close to the lateral arms and then
the rest of the bracket(s) evenly spaced across the awning torsion bar. Choose and mark the
best rafters to install the brackets into given those requirements.
Purchase one piece of galvanized flashing 12”W X 24”D and (3) 5/16” rubber washers per
bracket. Using the bottom holes in the base bracket (A) as a template, mark and cut 5/16” holes
along the centerline of the flashing, 6” from each side. Install the rubber washers between the
bracket and the flashing.
Using a stiff putty knife pry the shingles apart 24” (about 24” wide) back from the edge of the
roof.
Slip the back of the flashing at least 8” under the shingles. Center the holes and rubber
washers over the selected rafters.
Using a ratchet, install (2) 5/16”x3” lag screws (9/16” socket) and (3) 5/16” washers through
bracket A, the rubber washers, shingles and decking into the rafters.
