If B or C most closely reflect your desired application, this requires that you purchase one eave
bracket to replace each wall bracket required.
If D most closely reflects your desired application you will need wall brackets for both applications
(which come with your awning, however, if you choose a roof mounted application you must
purchase one roof bracket per wall bracket required.
• You must center and secure your brackets into the center of studs or rafters. These are hidden from
view behind your wall surfaces or roof surface. A stud finder is a tool that finds nails with an internal
magnet. Nails are an indicator of where studs and rafters are, but not a guarantee. It is extremely
important that you test your conclusions. Nails will be found in vertical lines. Fully install a bolt in the
location where you have concluded your stud or rafter is located; If at any time it becomes easy to
turn the ratchet, you ARE NOT in the stud or rafter. For guide purposes only: most studs and rafters
are 12”, 16” or 24” apart.
• Mark all the locations of the studs or rafters in the area where you have decided to install your
awning.
• It is recommended that there should be one bracket each next to the lateral arms. Choose the
appropriate studs or rafters to install your brackets onto. Hint: short studs above windows and doors
are structural and may be used to secure bracket as well as full length studs. (see the picture in the
next page)
