How much vertical space do I need to mount against wall? I have an area between window trim and overhang that is only 4.5 inches. Thank you.

Should not matter. It will fit in between that space however you choose. The angel of the awning can be adjusted.

I just measured my window, and it measures 33 1/2 inches from the mounting flange edges. This unit was mounted into a wood frame and then trimmed out to finish the look. I believe that it was originally 34 inches, but the installer most likely cut 1/4 inch from each side of the mounting flange to make it fit properly. They would easily be trimmed with a good utility knife and a straight edge, or with a fine blade on a jigsaw. Depending on the what you are installing it into (wood/concrete), you may be able to trim the outside flanges to meet your needs. As for the quality of the window, it is good quality for the price, and I have had no issues whatsoever with the two windows I purchased.

about 4" from wall to outside edge of tubes, however I am not a professional so please seek additional opinions.

You have just over 5 inches from the front lip to the vertical bars, i.e. where anything wider than about 5 1/4" (the width between the vertical bars) would bump up against them. For something thinner than 5 1/4", you have about 7 1/2" of depth to the shelf. Does that make sense?

I have mine surface mounted. It sticks out 4 and 3/4". It looks great. There's mirrored panels for the sides. Good quality. I couldn't be happier with this item.

That should be enough space. I recently got this (direct from manufacturer) and think it's a good piece of equipment. 4-6" (from end of door trim to wall) should be fine.

The shelf itself is 36" wide, and the mounting brackets can be used generally anywhere inside that space, but on both ends there is a thin metal rod that runs length wise to hold all the panels of the shelf together, those rods are 1 inch in on both sides, which means the space available for you to use for the mounting brackets is a little less than 34" total. Hopefully that info will help you figure out if you can mount it around that window like you want, but I'm guessing it won't fit well.

The mounting Bo's is 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. I have mine on the wall, it is fine, no problem.

My desk was up against a wall. I don't think I moved it more than 2" from the wall. Doesn't take up much space between wall and where its mounted on desk. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry I can't help you. I am still trying to decide where to put ours. I MIGHT just mount it on a piece of foam board and hang it in the window. We only have 8 more states to go before it is complete.

You need to allow about SIX inches from wall . This will allow plenty of room to work with all connection needed.

It's between 4-5 feet when expanded.I didn't put it in a window. Instead, I drilled a hole through the wall, and installed it with the bracket and some pcv tubing...

I doubt it matters how long the house is...you only need about 2' of space to mount it on any wall. I have owned five of these now (amongst my last three houses) and not one ever had a problem.

Without knowing how tall the trim is above your door it is difficult to say for certain, but I'd say that it won't work. I have 6 inches from the outside of trim to outside of trim the bar works great for me and there is room for a slightly thicker wall. However I can tell you that it wasn't designed for a thicker wall. I think the bar might be able to fit on a 7 inch thick wall but not much thicker than that. Hope this is helpful and hope that you find something that works for you!

Why above a window? Mount it on any wall, preferable an external wall. 7-8' above floor level. And to of the unit to stay 5-6" below the ceiling.

As long has you have about 3-4 ft of vertical space to mount it on I don't see why not.
