    Same question "We never got to see it fully extended so we could see how much it bows down toward the ground.

      True. I'm just in the process of putting one together (sadly it arrived as a DIY kit!) but it has some bolts that can be adjusted to alter the angle of drop. It shouldn't be too horizontal in case it puddles rain. An angle of at least 10 degrees down is recommended. Next fine day I will be up ladders with two relatives to drill big holes, fit the support brackets and fasten on the awning to them. It is a daunting prospect! But I am going to UA-cam it all so others can benefit from my (not too many I hope) mistakes!

    My awning is remote with a high wind detecter. Sometimes a gust of wind makes the awning invert and can also be noisy (rattly). I was thinking if it had several slits top to bottom, the wind could escape easily and stop the rattle noise and the inverting... is this a done thing ?

      Think the cost of the awning is included in that 2200 that's why he's said "with labor" not 2200 for labor alone. So cost of the awning plus install was 2200

    • @Telthecelt
      @Telthecelt 4 роки тому

      I'm just about to fit one (see my comment above). It seems like the extending arms will only let it go so far. I guess the motor detects the end point somehow and cuts out. Or else it is on a timer.

      Lag screws. That's the only possibility when you're screwing into wood (studs) and have no access to the top of the screw for a nut.

      @@mrmrjims3865 Only 150$ for that length of an electric awning? A real bargain. I just bought one online for £120 and it's manual and only 3m long, 2.5m extension. The installation cost is a killer even if it is two tradesmen for a hour or two. I could get four double glazed windows installed for that, units and labour.

    The arms are horrible, they bend on the joint and make the awning useless.
    The fabric will go to the middle and cause your awning retractor "bar" to bend.
