In the video, you can see a couple measuring steps I was done to figural positioned the board between floors. I recommend you to change video playback speed to slow view. Hit "Setting" under video ("Sprocket" symbol) hit "Playback Speed" with "Normal", and scroll above and hit number "0.25" 1) 1:21 measure how much from interior floor to the ceiling. 2) 1:26 how much from ceiling to visible horizontal line/distance from ceiling to patio top frame. 3) 1:27 check where this distance's on outside wall. 4) 1:28 draw all measurement to understand diagram of the house frame. 5) 1:29 you can see a mark with painter's blue tape, this is outside ceiling heights. 6) 1:31 check how the bracket will go on the siding - from blue tape 1-2" up. 7) 1:33 measuring from window bottom to the floor. 8) 1:42 mark on siding wall the floor distance. 9) 1:44 now I have two blue tapes, ceiling and floor on second level. So between these tapes about 10". Under siding and under OSB sheets or plywood 1/2" located solid 2" x 10" board, which can hold the awning. It's call Rim Joist, in this picture "Band" - woodshms.com/wp/glossary/rim-joist/ Google some house frame construction pictures, and you can see and understand more clearly how the house frame look before they put the outside OSB/plywood wall. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the excellent video. It's rare to find such a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on installing a 20-foot retractable awning. I discovered your video while searching for guides on installing awnings on brick veneer walls, and though yours wasn't exactly what I was searching for, it still offered valuable insights. I'm seeking advice and guidance on installing a 20-foot retractable awning with three brackets on a brick veneer wall. In your video, you mounted the brackets directly onto floor joists, which isn't an option for me because the area below my bay windows covers the joist space, preventing me from attaching the brackets there. Given your experience, I'm hoping you might share some advice or direct me towards a solution for my situation. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

@@kamilb6033 I was attached not into floor joists. Into facial board of the all floor joist. That's mean a 2" x 8"-10" board all around the house between first and sec floor. It's call Rim Joist, in this picture "Band" - woodshms.com/wp/glossary/rim-joist/ This way, you can drill through the bricks and screw screws into that board of any length and in any position. Of course, you should double check and find out how your home was built. Sometimes it's best to open up a 1x1 foot ceiling where the exterior screw will be located to make sure the board you need is there.

@@FixitAll Vasily, thanks for the correction and the additional information. Given that my awning needs to be attached to the rim joist "Band" due to the bay windows obstructing the rim joists, do you have any specific advice or alternative installation methods to recommend? Your expertise is greatly valued.

I own a freaking awning company. I have for 10 years. I never thought of using a hoist to lift a 300lb awning up like that. You, kind sir, are a GENIUS. I would have 4 guys out on a job like that. 2 would have been plenty with that lift and ladder. Ever need a job in Charlotte, NC I will hire you on the spot!

I’m mounting one on the side of my detached 1 story garage. I have similar siding so I’m concerned about the gaps causing a problem. At first I thought you were just screwing into the siding until I read the comments. I assume I will need to locate studs since there is no ledger to screw into.

@FixitAll 28 күн бұрын

It's attached not to the walI, not to the plywod, not to the siding. To the house frame board between two floors. Done this way a couple times. So, I just trust to my experience. You can find answer if you read some comments where i was explained how it was done.

How come you didn’t use sealant where the lag bolts go into the side of the house, or did I miss it?

@FixitAll 9 ай бұрын

The drill bit smaller than smooth body bolt near the hex head, (I show it at 2:20) so when it's goo all the way in the wall there is no space around siding hole and bolt body. You can use sealant, but not necessary when I install in this way.

This is cement siding (hardybecker).

You must remove (cut-off) vinyl siding, install weather flashing and paper/plastic sealer around than attach the bracket to the wood.

The screws goo into the faceplate of the frame of the house between the floors. You need to know how the frame structure of the house is built and what it is made of and where the front frame board goes between floors.

@@FixitAll Awsome thank you so much! At 1"27 you show a drawing of the door/mounting hardware. Looks lik a 10" horazontal can be found 18" above the door and that's what you mounted to. Are those measurements an industry standar?

@FixitAll 10 ай бұрын

18" my video, this is a distance from ceiling to door frame. This room has 8ft ceiling, so 18" down to the door. If your ceiling less than 8ft, you may have fewer inches to the door frame. From my experience, during a bunch of bath fan replacement/installation, the second floor joist all the time not less than 10", because a fan metal box housing 7" tall, and it fit all the time easily between first floor ceiling sheetrock and second floor subfloor plywood. So between the floor you must have 10" outside under siding, and you may attach the awning mount whatever you like between those 10".

@@FixitAll I have owned two houses in my life. The first was built in the roaring twenties, and was called a cottage, but it was a pretty big house. Plaster and lath, knob and tube wiring, and whatever project I found myself doing, perfectly square corners always eluded me. Shimming and compromise were ALWAYS the order of the day. The next house was a rancher built in 1967. I thought, since I knew that professional builders built it, at least I'd never have to shim, or make compromises. Wrong. It was more "out-of-square" than the one built in the roaring twenties. It may be a perfectly square world on arch- itectural drawings, but in the real world? Not so much.
