How To Install An Awning

[@jerzcnate]

My Wife and I were just talking an awning 😅 of course Shannon shows how it should be done 🤣

[@LordFlash124]

Great vid. imformative as always. Glad you decided to keep on making these videos.

[@droberts73543]

Nice job!

[@Maxid1]

On all the rv awnings I've seen, the arms don't extend all the way out. So they'll retract without binding and to give strength for breezy conditions (which amazingly is 25-30 mph). The awning on my camper (made by Colorado Awnings) has auxiliary angle braces that go from the outer end of the awning down to a latch on the side of the camper. I think it's good for Aunty Em strength winds.

[@HouseImprovements]

Yes, these are different than a standard RV awning for sure.

[@katthompson3852]

That looks really cool. Love your relaxed style.

[@dinnerwithfranklin2451]

Oh dang, that looks comfortable!

[@dadokrstic]

Nice job but I’m still triggered from the April Fools video 😂

[@felixcat648]

Lol

[@HouseImprovements]

Haha, sorry about that

​@@HouseImprovements Hi where abouts are you in Canada. I'm in saskatoon, sk

[@clintonreddekop9229]

I'd love it if you would do a video on installing a fixed awning to shade a window. Even better would be how to build and install the awning. Thanks!

[@milesharlan1]

Great video..I would liked to have seen a video of you pulling off the soffit & putting on the board to mount the brackets. The electrical part would be nice too.. thanks again ..

[@HouseImprovements]

Depending on your soffit that could be different from what I had to do , My video was intended to show there were other options .

[@milesharlan1]

@HouseImprovements No worries..I just love your content & want a little more.

[@juanmendoza7487]

Great job!

[@saboorsaboor704]

Good contents as always

[@ronm6585]

Thanks.

[@yousef60666]

Good job 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@RandyHanley]

Embarrassed to say how much I paid MaryGrove here in Michigan to install an awning. Very cool video!

[@HomeRapidRepair]

Nice awning…shade…stay cool 😎

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍.Thank you

[@JDDees]

You must be Canadian..... the accent gives you away!

[@mpxz999]

Mannn that is COOL!

[@stoneyj1a1]

Great job. Do you have any videos that show installing stationary awnings or other coverings onto vinyl siding? I'm trying to prevent water from pouring over the gutters onto the front door. I have no roof eave on my house; just the gutter and it gets clogged every single year, I try to clean them but I cannot always get to it and its dangerous.

[@HouseImprovements]

Sorry ,I do not.

[@mmmark61]

Well, I hadn’t considered this option for our deck. I was wondering how to get sun and rain protection when the deck is on the inside of an “L” section of the house. With leaves and snow, I just couldn’t figure out how to make either a permanent roof or mount a sail-type fabric in the corner location. A retractable awning wouldn’t make for a screened in porch (which I was also considering) but it does solve the sun and rain problem. Then during the winter the awning would be retracted for full sunlight into the living room. Thanks! (From a former SK resident)

[@josephc.7561]

What are your brackets called? I have the same issue as you but cannot find the brackets you made.

[@HouseImprovements]

I custom made the brackets from angle iron and painted them.

[@yettawat1564]

Thank you for a great and timely video! I found a manual version of this at Lowes, but the recommended min. height to install is above 8 ft. Our thick, heavy eaves hang low, so the max installation height into the siding would just be 6.5 feet above the deck floor. Do you think that would be unsafe? Or maybe we could install it onto the eaves (1-1/8" solid wood)?

[@HouseImprovements]

It will likely be around 6' when extended so that is your call. IMO in most cases it would be fine. Installed into the eaves like I did would work also but you will need to make a custom bracket if its like this awning.

[@yettawat1564]

@@HouseImprovements Thank you :)

[@justinhopper1834]

Thank you for doing this video! I've got a manual crank awning I'm trying to install identical to how you have this. Honestly, I need the exact same bracket rig you have in this video. Did you make these yourself or purchase them from somewhere?

[@HouseImprovements]

I made them myself.

[@erinmariepowell]

Hi! This is a late ask after, but Justin, did you ever figure it out? I'm trying to figure out the same thing

[@edmc755]

Wondering, it does not look very strong , were we live there is lots of wind ?????

[@HagerVids]

can u post that awning to purchase?

[@HouseImprovements]

This is about as close as I can find. amzn.to/44noLeu My awning was purchased in Canada from Canadian Tire

[@HagerVids]

@@HouseImprovements thanks for lookimg it up. im goimg to attempt soon

[@EvanLu11]

Pictures of you with a cold one after the project is completed need to be mandatory in all future videos!

[@TheSlipperyNoodle]

The real Slim Shady.

[@davidc9135]

I wish I had a patio. Blasted Trudeau!

[@Maxid1]

What was wrong with the original soffit supports?

[@HouseImprovements]

Some where missing , when I did the aluminum soffit years ago I must have removed some since they are not needed for aluminum soffit.

[@publicmail2]

Never seen such small size soffit lumber.

[@aaron74]

Now is that NMD cable legal in that soffit space? lol

[@HouseImprovements]

Yes it is..here at least . That's how I knew for the forum question the other day, LOL.

[@aaron74]

@@HouseImprovements Forum? What forum? lol

[@scpatl4now]

Did you ever figure out why that arm didn't extend all the way?

[@HouseImprovements]

In the end they actually do not extend completely straight like I thought they would , likely to help give some strength. I tried adjusting the outward travel but the canopy material is not long enough to even extend it further than about another 1"

[@simpurelife]

Great video! Would you maybe be open to collab?

[@pesto88]

Your videos would be so much better if you would do the job from start to finish and not do a summarized version. Just my 2 cents. 👍🏻🤔

[@robertlafleur5179]

Doing shady work, I’m really disappointed, Shannon. Tsk, tsk, tsk. ;-)
