Typical Question: When an awning is fully extended, what is the height of the awning's front bar in relation to the mount point height? Answer: The drop from the mount point of the awning to the front bar when the awning is fully extended is easily adjusted by you. We have a recommended pitch chart shown below. This chart provide an ideal for maximum strength. We understand that the ideal may not be possible or even desirable in many installations. This is why we have a very adjustable awning system. The adjustment of our Sundown Gold awning is over 45 degrees. For example, an awning with a 10' extension would have a recommended 25" drop based on the pitch chart shown below. This means, if you mount the awning 10' high, the front bar will be 7'11" high when the awning is fully extended. Lets say you mount your awning 9' high and you want the front bar 7' high when the awning is fully extended. The drop would be 24". You could also adjust the awning to have a 5' drop or no drop at all. The adjustment is up to you. The chart is only a recommendation. Recommended Pitch
Retractable awnings should be retracted in situations that would subject your awning to extreme wind and/or heavy rain conditions. I usually retract my awning when it becomes uncomfortable to relax under the awning. Lets face it, if the wind is too strong for you to sit out under your awning, then l retract the awning because it probably doesn't want to be exposed to the bad weather any more than you do! |
