You will also need: screws, rivets, plugs, drill, hammer drill (if drilling into concrete), measuring tape, spirit level,
shifter, rivet gun and 6-gauge x 25mm screws (for fixing bottom saddles)
If installing on a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line. If the position, you need to drill is over a
mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
1. Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging.
2. Fitting the Weather Box (Hood)
3. Remove the roller from the weather box.
4. Attach end caps to hood, using rivets supplied.
5. Measure the width of the hood then the width of the window. The difference between the two is the total
amount of overhang your box will have. Divide this number by two to determine how much overhang you will
have on each side. E.g. If the hood measures 2300 and the window measures 2000, the total overhang will be
300mm. dividing by two equals 150mm each side of the window.
6. Carefully raise the hood into position ensuring that it is horizontal.
Mark the top drill hole through the eyelet - refer to picture 1.
Mark your bottom hole, which is the second bottom hole.
NOTE: Auto Lock Awning shown in Pic 1, Straight Drop Awnings are Under Roll
7. Pre-drill all holes and plug. When all holes are drilled, carefully position the weather
box, and fasten with screws. Check if this is level with your spirit level.
8. If required, attach pull down ring to back of bottom bar.
9. Attach saddles to bottom bar on the back straight edge. These need to be horizontal. This will be the same
measurement as the bottom hooks. If using bungee cord loops these are attached at the end of the bottom rail.
