How much clearance is required above patio door to hold mounting?

at least 2 feet above door or better 10 feet from the floor to the mounting bracket!

mounting brackets will require at least 8 to 10 inches. but one of the other answers made a point, you need to be 8 or more feet above floor or it will be low when extended. I made support poles to hold and support extended awning . ( 2x2 wood )

Mounting holes are 1" from each end. Adequate space to use electric drill to drive mounting screw even with the holder against the wall.

Upwards of 4". As long as you have a decent overhang on the mounting surface, you'll be fine. If you are trying to mount it to an apron of a table, I doubt it will work.

I mounted mine with the enclosed screws. I put it away from the door in a partially hidden location. I do not remember if any other mounting was suggested.

I think you will need a 100" bar. You need double the width of your door if you want it to open completely and then another 4" on each end for the mounting hardware. You might want to explore using 2 sets and 2 smaller doors that open in the middle. There were some questions/answers from someone else about this

The plastic insert where the vent goes is approx 36" long x 4" wide, so it would never fill up the space of a patio door. Hardware stores can custom cut heavy plexiglas for you to fill up the space above or below where you place the vent, or you can probably custom cut a piece of wood - which wouldn't be as attractive. Would strongly suggest a couple security bars on that sliding door to prevent anyone from getting in the house! The unit needs to drain water it removes from the air either into a bucket or out your door, and the hose on the back of the unit must drain downward. The unit works well......

Mine sets about a foot or a little less above the door and I have the drop fairly low. Maybe 18-24 inches but you can adjust the drop angle from just a couple inches to over 2ish feet.

Been awhile since I put mine up. All I can do is guess. Seems 2" pretty close. The mounting plate has a generous area in case you need to drill a couple extra holes.

You can mount with or without box, better with box. Not sure about your height restriction but should 6" to 8" clearance on all sides.

it is designed to be wider than the door... There is a chance that you are not mounting it properly? It should hang from the chin bar and only rest against the outside of the frame/trim of (the) door... Let me know if you need advice to mount it...

I measured the overhang needed and you need at least an inch. An inch and a half is ideal as this butts the end of the peeler arm against the side of whatever top you mount it to.

Due to HOA restrictions I have the sleeve that it sits in mounted mostly inside the house (garage) with just 2" extending outside. If the sleeve was mounted like normal, with the mounting box flush to the interior, it would extend 12" outside the house and about 4 1/2" inside the house. This is with my 5" thick walls (1" stucco, 3 1/2" studs, 1/2" drywall).

It is all dependent upon the height where you mount the bracket, but my guess is no, it won't be high enough to reach over your arbor.

Minimum 3/4" on wood, 3/8" steel plate, after that it you can go as thick as you want, mount bracket is 3/4" angle iron - L shape

no, I have mine mounted about 4ft high, and I have a blind spot from the bottom of the door to about a foot out.

This is a bolt-on handle. Clearance between the mounting surface and the handle is 1-5/8 inches.

About 7 inches. Suggestion: once you find the studs screw in one side of the top of the mount, level and do the other side. Then you can secure the bottom of the mount. Hope this helps.
