STEP 2: Drilling the Bolt Holes
1. Now that you have a straight, level line across the wall with the locations
of the wall brackets and their bolt holes marked, you will drill holes to
mount the brackets.
2. Using a 16mm masonry drill bit, drill the rst bolt hole approximately
4 inches (9 centimeters) deep, as shown in the diagram. This must be
drilled through solid brick or concrete to oer the necessary support for
the awning.
3. Drill the remaining holes exactly as in step 2.
Drill 9 cm (~4') deep
IMPORTANT: All bolt holes must be aligned vertically and horizontally to ensure
that the awning hangs straight.
Double check alignment before drilling if you are not certain.
IMPORTANT: The diameter and depth of your mounting holes must be the same
size as the expansion bolts.
STEP 3: Preparing For Mounting
1. Now that all of your holes are drilled, insert the expansion bolts.
2. It may be necessary to drive the bolts in with a wooden (or other non-metallic) mallet.
3. Make sure that the bolts are rmly in place, yet let them stick out of the wall approximately 1 inch or less - enough
that the wall bracket can be installed onto them.
4. Firmly tighten the bolts with a 19mm hex key. It is best to use the hex key with a closed end rather than an open end
to avoid damaging the nut, should it slip.
If a mallet is necessary for installation, we recommend placing the nut on the screw
(loosely) before hammering to avoid damaging the bolt threads.
