When you find yourself wishing away the glare of the sultry sun, having beautiful retractable awnings installed on your home or business is an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about the downfalls of sun exposure. However, it’s important to remember that installing retractable awnings is not a DIY job. This is especially true of SummerSpace® retractable awnings, which can weigh up to 500 pounds.
The key to safe, long-term enjoyment of your awnings is a quality, professional installation. Specialized tools and knowledge are necessary to ensure the awning is properly secured to the structural framing and not just the surface siding. You can be assured of proper installation from SummerSpace’s network of professional dealers who offer Simple Shade Series, Pro Series, and Performance Series retractable awnings.

Site Preparation Prior to Installation
Before the retractable awning is installed, the area should be prepped. All surfaces should be clean and free from debris and freshly painted if needed. If the retractable awning is being installed on an exterior wall, check for any existing structural features that may interfere with installation such as light fixtures or decorations.
If using a motorized awning option, you will also need an electrical connection installed. Your dealer can walk you through the process for outlet placement and voltage requirements.
Retractable Awning Installation
When your retractable awning is received by the dealer, it’s time to get started on the installation. Your SummerSpace dealer’s crew will attach the awning securely in place. All connections will be fastened carefully using the proper brackets and hardware shipped with your order. Once it is installed, your crew will extend your awning, adjust the tilt to the right level of protection, and make sure the extension is exact.
