installed over deck on vinyl siding. When fully extended it droops down and you cannot walk under the front of it. What can we do

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.

I hold it up with a pole , with the awning fully opened. the pole is 78" long. wish you luck

I used stainless steel fender washers on the lower bolt to shim up the bracket. It took about four washers per bracket.

I used 2 - 2" PVC pipes about 6 1/2 ft tall at the corners with zip ties to hold it in place

Ellen, I installed 2 6' black iron pipes on my deck where the front of the awning ends. I attached them to the deck with flanges and put a PVC T on the top. I added industrial strength velcro on the T and the front of the Awning. I also have 7 mounts holding the awning at it's anchor point. The tubing they made this unit with is sub standard for the weight it has to hold. If I could upload a picture for you I would but don't see anywhere here to do so. motorhogman at yahoo if you want to email me and I'll send you some pics of my modifications.

There is an adjustment on the end that attaches to the house that will tighten the canvas up. If that does not work just rewind the canopy back a touch and it should tighten up the slack. Hope this helps

the way my railing was on my deck I couldn't mount them the traditional way, I mounted under the railing, it worked great, but you have to be precise in your measurements, mark it well, have someone help you, they can hold. If you send me a cell phone number, I will take a picture for you and send it

I don't know. I couldn't get mine to completely lock under my vinyl siding.

I remember having the same problem, and the solution was to make sure the deck was fully lowered. To do that, I believe I had to turn it on, and push the down arrow to make sure there was no incline set. Then it fit. Good luck!

It should be not too bad to get over. Just put it in the high setting and tilt it back. If all fails you could just make a ramp with some boards.

Hi there. Use a screw on the inside of the underneath deck, use stainless steel screw and any other hardware you need to fix, just make certain that it is stainless (no Rust)

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are asking. Are you asking if you can paint this on over vinyl siding? This should be applied directly to a clean, smooth concrete block or poured concrete wall.

If I was you, purchase something of a higher quality. I added heavy duty outdoor duct tape, and still have issues now and then. Good luck

Don't really know for sure. Vinyl siding is put on using horizontal strips that sort of interlock with the one above and below it. You can actually feel by slipping your fingers under the edge where it meets and locks with the next piece. If you can do this with your siding and actually feel the edge where the hook will be resting on, it will probably work.

I drilled through the legs where the leveling pads are screwed in and used 3" screws to bolt it down to my deck without the leveling pads. They weren't needed and even if the legs weren't level, bolting them down would solve that problem.

Sorry to say I had the same problem and had to do a cleaning that resembled doing the entire gutter when there were NO gutter guards. Also, the debris spills over the gutter and this requires a scrubbing of my (white) gutters to remove staining. I now plan to install leaf guards that insert under the shingles and extend OVER the gutter edge to reduce debris buildup. Good luck with your next steps!

Slide them under the siding, try to find a place on the siding that has a slot. It isnt perfect, sticks out a little. But I was able to hang a wreath, and a snowflake outside for Christmas. No directions really.

Try putting something under it that won't slide backwards if you have hardwood floors or tile hope that helps

My assumption would be that if you put the solution on the shutter and some gets on siding, it would affect it because they're both vinyl. However, my findings were that the product did not perform as suggested so I just ended up replacing my shutters.

Not sure Id be of much help on this one. Mine is staked into the ground dirt. Try a cinder block or something really heavy that won't get in the way.

Not sure, but sounds like there may be a defect. I put my house together in about a minute and it has remained sturdy since. Maybe try to reassemble it? Make sure all the velcros are attached, I think there are a number of spots with velcro, not just one.

I already answered your question but you got me thinking. I used a long PVC pipe I had from left over sprinkler project. I placed it inside the cover and extended it into the air to the top of my umbrella that's attached to my patio table, it was a tiny bit tricky at first, but it worked! ;)
