How high above a patio door do you need to hang the awning? How far does it drop from when extended?

just enough to clear the arms. you can adjust the pitch, the suggest 15 degrees. i would put it at least 6 inches over the door there are no arms in the way when it is open

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.

at least 7 feet from the bottom of the door, should give you about a 6 1/2 foot drop when extended. I have a 6 inch step from the bottom of the door to the deck . hope this helps you.

The drop is adjustable as others have stated. This is not an expensive awning, fabric is inexpensive and the hardware is lightweight. I can state that the fabric fades quickly, have had mine for less than six months and the portion that is exposed when rolled up is visibly different. Still a great value for the money. I have tapped the end of the awning tube and added arms for support. Would not trust this in a wind. I don't see this lasting 5 years, but if does, I'll be delighted. Just make sure you have a very sturdy attachement point. Good Luck.

There is a clip on one end and a roundish hook on the other end. Just clip it on the bottom of the awning. Easy up and easy down

I have mine under my covered patio with a height of 12 feet.It works fine.Assure yourself that the patio is open to fresh air... (my walls are only six feet tall).

There are two bolts at either end that you loosen and then adjust the bolt with the plastic caps on it to raise or lower the entire awning. This was still no enough adjustment for me so I made some custom mounts with about a 30 degree pitch to them out of 2 x 4 stock and that fixed the issue.

If the shed is heavy duty enough a standard metal garden shed would probably be pushing it. The awning isn't that heavy (50lbs?) but all that weight is on the mounting brackets when you extend the awning, increasing the load on the brackets.The brackets are plenty strong enough so it is up to what you mount it o.

not sure but you would want your bottom to not be too close to ground when sitting so to sit say chair height and then the top ropes and be adjusted to what you are going to hang it from. I use beam from patio cover. Hope this helps, Denise

I went outside to take measurements. The total length of the square metal tube that holds up awning is 9'8". The area for the mounting brackets is 9" (4.5" per side). I would tell you the 9' mounting area is not long enough...you need 9" more to install mounting brackets.

Absolutely. You can extend this awning any distance. We often have it open only a few feet to shade the patio doors.

The bracket for the awning measures about 9'8". The actual width of the canvas is 9'4". The length of the awning canvas is about 8' over my patio.

2ft is about right. I ended up making a semi-permanent awning, by using 2 4x4's as posts, because it hung lower than I expected. The posts keep it at 6ft above the deck.

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.

Hmm. hard to say, since I hanged it in the yard...I guess you need few feets...

This awning is quite heavy and awkward to mount (need 2 or 3 people). I attached mine to the overhang of the roof, and the weight forced it to tilt forward. I had 3 L brackets made to support (and level) the weight of the awning. It worked perfectly.Please note: The awning (when open), will drop approximately 3 feet from mounting height.

Mine is hanging at 12'6" / 150". Longer is ok because you can use a piece of rope or chain as an extender. More than a few inches shorter would in my opinion cause an unacceptable amount of sag.

It may have a max drop of about 2-3ft at the very end, so you may have to mount at 8-9ft high minimum.
