Installation Options for Overhangs for Model 900XT and 1000XT
Minimum mounting height for a Model 900XT is 6' 8" (80") -
Minimum mounting height for a Model 1000XT is 7' (84")
If there is not enough clearance under an overhang, the awning can be
mounted to the face of the overhang. The following are some low overhang
mounting techniques, as well as options for mounting on the front or
underside of a deep overhang.
Using the methods shown in Figure 1 through 3 may require you to relocate
the wall brackets as well. The wall brackets are normally placed in the same
vertical plane as the awning rail and upper brackets. If the awning rail and
upper brackets are more than 12" away from the house, the wall brackets must
be adjusted away from the house as well. The wall brackets must be attached
to a vertical plane (not horizontal) as shown in figures B and C. If no
vertical plane is incorporated, you should use the Floor Mount feature of
the ground bracket. Refer to Appendix A in the installation booklet for
further instructions on how to use the Floor Mount feature as shown in
Figure 1 through 3 below.

The hardware can be mounted to the deck or patio (A),using the Floor
Mount feature, utilizing the supplied Deck Plates. Flower boxes (B) and
benches can also be used to mount the wall brackets. Vertical posts can be
mounted between the deck or patio and the underside of the overhang (C).

Upper Bracket / Overhang Mounting Options

OPTION 1:Mounting the awning
rail and upper brackets to the fascia board. With a 1x4" fascia
board, the awning can be mounted as in the instructions that
come with the awning.
(See Figure 1)

OPTION 2:
With a gutter on the fascia and no room for the awning rail or upper
brackets, a board can be mounted in front of the gutter using our
Overhang Mounting Brackets secured to the rafters under the
overhang. The number of brackets, which can be purchased separately,
will vary according to the width of the awning. (See Figure
2)

WARNING: THE OVERHANG MOUNTING BRACKETS MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED
TO THE RAFTERS AND POSITIONED EVENLY ALONG THE BOARD.
OPTION 3: The awning can be mounted under an overhang if
desired. A predetermined set of Overhang Brackets (see table 1), depending
on the size of the awning, must be purchased separately. A board must be
secured to the overhang so that the awning is in the desired location.
Remember to mount the wall brackets accordingly as noted in the Floor Mount
/ Wall Bracket Options section.
