Fitting Awnings

Awnings - How Easy are They to Fit?

It will take the average 'DIYer' around 2 hours to fit an awning.

You will need to drill 4 x 10 or 12 mm holes into the property, bolt on the support plates, and then lift the awning into place. This normally takes 2 people.

Do I Need an Electrician?

If you opt for the motorised awning, you will need to drill a hole through the wall for the cable and then wire a standard 3-pin plug, plug it in and you're done. All the controls are by pre-installed remote control. If in doubt, call an electrician.

How Much Room Do I Need to Fit an Awning?

As a rule of thumb, you will need 3 courses of bricks to mount the brackets, although the awning only covers 2 courses.

Can the Awning Be Adjusted to Any Angle?

Yes, adjust the bolts at either end of the awning - they allow accurate adjustment for 35° to 65°.
