Installing awning extender posts.

The rest of the cost would go towards two 6 x 6 x 10 pressure treated wooden posts 4 bags of concrete 80 lbs each 1 bag of paver base and some shade sail hanging hardware. Compared to an awning installing a shade sail was a savings of over 800. Many manufacturers utilize a mounting rail that attaches to the brackets. Extender posts are by far the most popular home improvement for mobile home owners.

No more banging the passenger door into your existing posts. Depending on your brand of awning you will use either a large bolt or a screw to attach the awning into the brackets. A lean too is when one side of the carport or covered patio is attached to the home and the other side is lower and sits on posts. Attach the hardware through the brackets and over the awning bar to hold it in place.

Ideally all awnings should have a pitch of 1 4 for every 1 foot. Doing so allows the awning housing to mount to the rail. After installing the brackets the installation process of the awning can vary based on the awning itself as well as the type of mounting. The bulk of the price of the shade sail was the actual 16 by 16 fabric sail.

Keep in mind you can t rely on set screws to vary the awning level and plumb. Make sure the hardware you use is tight and that your awning does not wiggle around. With angular offsets up to 3 feet these heavy gauge steel posts add invaluable additional space to your driveway. Fasten the awning bar to the brackets.
