Mark drilling holes by using a chalk line to ensure that awning will be level after
mounting.
Step 2: Mark Drilling Holes
After choosing mounting position, you can mark where you need to drill holes
for the brackets.
Draw a horizontal line at the height of the required place. Use a long tape
measure, a level and chalk.
We already marked where and with what width brackets need to be mounted.
Measure the width between the brackets and copy it to the line on your
wall/ceiling.
Hold a bracket with the lower mounting hole on the height for the chalk line to
the wall (please refer to figure 5 for correct position of the bracket and mark
the two drilling holes. Use the bracket at centre mark template by running a
marker pen through the holes of the brackets.
Alternatively, you can use the packing to make a centre mark template. Just lay
the awning inclusive brackets on the packing and mark the drilling holes. Then
hold the template against the wall in corresponding height. Use a level.
Step 3: Drill Holes
Use 14-mm masonry drill to drill the holes for the brackets at the appropriate
marks on the wall.
The holes should be 9 cm deep in the wall and must be drilled through solid
masonry or concrete.
Do not bore through mortar because this does not offer the strong enough
support for the heavy duty anchors, which are required for the installation of
awning.
