How to Install a Retractable Awning?
Retractable awnings are a great way to stay cool in the summer heat. There are many stores that sell them ready to be installed, and doing it yourself is an easy way to save some money. A Retractable awning is a cloth awning that can be rolled out or retracted, either by hand or with a motor. These awnings tend to be pretty large, so you should get a motorized awning to save yourself the effort of pulling it up by hand. Be sure to make measurements for the size of your awning before you buy one, and talk to the workers at the store if you have any questions. Once you buy your awning, make sure to have a few things on hand: A tape measure A stud finder A motorized (electric) drill with appropriate drill bits Something to set and draw level lines, such as a piece of chalk and a level. Any appropriate screwdrivers, wrenches, or ratchets. Any appropriate Lag bolts. Check the manufacturer’s box and instructions for anything else you might need. Now follow some easy steps: 1.) Use your level line-making tools to draw out where you want to install your awning. You don’t want it too low. Look in the instruction manual to see how low the awning will drop, and then install your awning so that it won’t bump into anyone’s head if it’s fully retraced. Figuring out the placement of your awning is important and the easiest step, so take your time. 2.) Next, install the mounting bracket for your awning. First, find the studs that you will install the mounting bracket on to with your stud finder. Make sure you find the center of the studs. Use the mounting bracket to mark with chalk where you will be installing the lag bolts into the studs. Once you are sure where you are drilling your lag bolts (if it’s not the center, this will jeopardize awning safety), go ahead and drill them, securing your bracket to the lag bolts. 3.) Next, install the awning hood onto the mounting bracket. This part differs depending on which model you purchased.

A retractable awning is a piece of equipment with a lot of moving parts that will be outside, exposed to the weather, year round. Before you buy one, you need to see what kind of materials were used to make it, as well as judge the quality of the workmanship. Unless there is a zoom of the mechanics in action and a list of materials on display, you just aren’t going to be able to see those things from a commercial. The first thing you should do when choosing an awning is search for local awning installation companies, either onlie or in the phone book. Next, make calls to about a dozen of these to determine their price range, and find out if you need an appointment to come in to see their merchandise. Choose a few companies that are within your budget and 1 or 2 which are above it. Make appointments, ff necessary. Try to see the most expensive awnings first. Theoretically, the most expensive should be the best, so this will give you something with which to compare the other awnings, to see how they measure up to the higher priced product. When you get to the showroom, look over the retractable awning at rest, then ask the salesperson to show you the awning opening and closing. Watch the joints and moving parts closely. Ask questions about the materials, such as whether certain parts are metal or plastic. Find out what kind of weather-proofing has been done. Make notes about anything, positive or negative, about the awning that stands out, such as jerky motion or all metal. Finally, go home and compare the notes you took to the prices you were quoted and choose the best awning for your budget.
