can Wire rope substitute tie back?

[@jeffkenny2931]

Thanks for the great question. Wire rope can not be substituted for a tie back that is required by engineering. Sometime the tie backs are just decorative and in this case you could use wire rope. The up force on the canopy is almost exactly the same as the down force and in those cases the wire rope provides no assistance for uplift.

Where's the water go .ie down pipes

[@jeffkenny2931]

Water typically drains from 2 scuppers located at the front corners. These scuppers can have custom orientations. We also provide downspouts or connections to internal wall drainage when necessary.

How long does it take to install this?

[@jeffkenny2931]

assuming 1st floor and that you have a couple of them it averages about 2 hours each. Obviously length, projection, and wall type are all factors. Other factors like notching, mitered corners, downspouts, overhead supports can all add time.

Two hours to install this long one?
