Awntech Savannah Series - Manual (Page 4)

STEP 13: Place the awning on the wall and make adjustments to choose the ideal
location. Mark the bottom of the frame after you have centered it on the opening that
you are covering.
STEP 14: Using a pencil and a level, mark a horizontal line as wide as your awning at
that height. Verify that it is centered on the space.
STEP 15: From the inside of the awning, make (2) marks on the wall 6” up from that line
where the awning frame touches the wall. This is where the bottom of the brackets will
be placed.
STEP 16: From the inside of the awning, make two marks on the wall 6” in from the top
outside corners of the awning where the (SVC) and (TB) bars meet the wall. Make
another mark at the center of (TB). This is where the top brackets will be placed.
STEP 17: Install the brackets to the wall with the following hardware and tools: (The long
leg of the bracket is against the wall and faces toward the inside of the awning.)
CONCRETE BLOCK WALLS: (1) ½” masonry bit with a 3/8” shank, (4-5) 5/16”x
3” masonry anchor bolts, 9/16” socket. You will also need a roll of weather
stripping.
METAL BUILDINGS: (1) 2x6x8 #2YP cut into 12” blocks for the back side of the
metal, (4-5) 5/16”x 4” lag bolts, (4-5) 5/16” washers, rubber installation strips (in
the shape of the metal) and a 3/8” drill bit. Bolt through the washer, the bracket
and the metal into wood blocks behind the metal. Before tightening the bracket
insert the rubber strips between the building and the awning.
ANY TYPE OF SIDING: (4-5) ¼”x 4” toggle bolts, (4-5) ¼” washers, (1) Flat head
screwdriver (1) ½ drill bit (or if you hit a stud): (4-5) 5/16”x4” lag bolts, (4-5) 5/16”
washers, (1) 3/16” drill bit and a 9/16” socket. You will also need a roll of weather
stripping.
CONCRETE, BRICK OR STONE: (1) ½ masonry bit with a 3/8” shank, (4-5)
5/16”x 3” masonry anchor bolts, (4-5) 5/16”x1/4” bushings, 9/16” socket. You will
also need a roll of weather stripping.
STUCCO: (4-5) ¼”x 4” toggle bolts, (4-5) ¼” washers, (1) Flat head screwdriver
(1) ½ drill bit (or if you hit a stud): (4) 5/16”x4” lag bolts, (4-5) 5/16” washers, (1)
3/16” drill bit and a 9/16” socket. You will also need a roll of weather stripping.
STEP 18: Place the awning temporarily up on the brackets to make sure that it fits prior
to tightening the bolts. In cases where the wall is not flat, you may need to install
several bushings under the bracket so that the awning will fit properly in the pocket of
the bracket. Remove the awning.
STEP 19: Tighten the brackets to the wall.
STEP 20: Install the weather stripping on the back edge of the outside perimeter [(B)s
and (TB)] of the frame. Place the awning back on the brackets. Drill two self taping
screws up through the center legs of each of the brackets into the awning frame.
STEP 21: Using the same fasteners as you used on the brackets, level the (BP)s and
secure them to the wall.
