Your video was so great and easy to follow the instructions. I am a 77 year old woman from Texas and was able to install my 40X80 door awning all by myself, took me a little longer than it did you. I did a good job follow8ng your instructions. Thank you so much
Just had the exact same awning delivered from Amazon. I'm so glad I found this video. Very helpful! I'm going to pick up some 3 1/2 inch screws & washers before I attempt this. Thank you !!!
Glad someone is having luck with them. I bought a few of these style awnings off eBay, I found them an absolute nightmare to work with. The panels kept slipping out of the joiner, I was going to glue them in but I literally just decided to chuck it in the recycling.
Also easier if you lay it on it's side so you can push down when assembling. Just a thought. Also, the first anchors you were showing and saying they are a mess to use and makes big holes in the house............well, that is because they are made for masonry walls. Not wood
Hey man, that was an excellent video to watch and even understand I appreciate it. I just bought the same product and going to install them this weekend.
Seems simple but I'm a bit worried about possibly hitting something with the long screws or the mounting screws it came with. How could someone ensure the area behind doesn't have anything? Guess?
Thank you for the tip on getting better screws to attached it too dose it matter if the sides are differ after you have peel off i like the way you have solar lights on there too God bless!!!
Great video! Question: Did you have to use caulk on the edge that is against the siding to insure no leakage? Or is there rubber seal stripping attached to the outside bracket? Thank you sir!
Mine came without instructions and I pulled the plastic off now I don't know which side is the UV side. Can you tell which side is the UV side? Mine was a bitch to assemble the two plastic sheets together, the slots in the center section were narrow and I had to use a butter knife to feed them into the slots. Maybe because it's cool in here? Again: how can you tell the UV side when the plastic has been pealed off?
i was thinkng of getting that same one. reassuring to know its simple to instal. im worried if it stops water from coming down my wall/door. i have uneacen stucko. how has it worked for you in that way?
I have to install on side door with bricks N protection from snow so do u think regular screws wd do or the one that came with? Also never used those screws come in a package so wanted to know how to do thay
Yeah you need screws for cement/ brick etc. or the ones that come with it. But then you’re drilling big holes for them. So need specialty bit for that.
Buy better quality concrete sleeve anchors to attach to brick use a 3/8 drill bit. Apply clear caulk also around the edge of the awning to prevent water falling inside the awning. Please vacuum out the drill holes after drilling or the anchors will not sit flush.
@@HowToWithLech I totally understand. I'd imagine with some clear caulk. I was just curious because I know there's a gap due to no flashing and was sure how bad if any would come in. Thank you very much for answering 😉💪🏻!!
You can use a stud finder. But there is plywood back there which should be enough, as they are lightweight. Plus you need it over the door , so not much choice where it will screw in. It’s all sold still.
