I'm going to mount to siding, looks like I'm going to need a wood frame would an 8X2 work? Any other suggestions?

i mounted mine on the back of my toy hauler. fiberglass, i put a 2/4 inside the wall and it holds good, would not trust it in a high wind

That should work perfect. Mount the 2X8 securely to the house and the brackets for the awning will fit exactly on that size lumber.

Yes, it will work. We used wolmanized (treated) lumber, and we love the awning. It was definitely worth the money.

Hello Linda,You should be able to attach this to wood or siding with no problem. Sometimes you will need a little extra support, because it is a sturdy product. This can be done by just using a few extra bolts into the studs.

A tad more space than Insanity due to the ladder usage. I'd say a 8'x8' should suffice. Enjoy.

The rule of thumb is that the nail should go into the stud at least twice the thickness of the material being fastened. Example: 5/8" siding would require a minimum of a 6d nail, (2")

If you get the PacTool that is for 5/8" siding it should work. We have used it for certainteed and will use it for Hardie (tried the thickness and it worked) siding. Awesome!

I believe it will be too heavy for an RV. I had a ranch house and it was too low. Needed legs at the end of patio to hold up. Definitely made for a two story.

you can use any 30-34 degree paper collated framing nails. Almost all if not all hardware stores will carry them lowes home depot amazon menards all carry them.

I have 6" siding with a 1/2' SHOULDER. Do you have anything for this? Also, the mounting bracket needs to accommodate a lamp base that is 13". Thank you.

I used 4x8 inch treated garden timbers. Drilled two 1/2 inch holes in each of the four timbers, and once they were placed, drove a three foot section of rebar into each of these holes nd into the ground. Also used large inside angle brackets to keep everything square. The greenhouse has been thru some serious windstorms and no problems. The timbers and hardware were purchased at a local Home Depot.

Just put screw thru and slide light over screw slot like a vertical phone. Siding liking nailed to wood or brick backing so should be strong enough

I notched out a 4x8 to sit on top, and used another with 2x4's and a piece of plywood so I could hang things from the bottom. Don't know how fancy you want to get with it.

You will need (54) 2X2X8's (actual size though are 1.5X1.5X8' - found at any local lumberyard) Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks. ezframeup

I have it on a flat frame that I built, and it's just fine. The only thingI'd do differently is to get a thicker version - 6". Hope that helps.

If you bolt it in place, a vice should work nicely -- the wood appears strong enough to support. I may install one in the future.

FYI, the other people who have answered are correct - you'll want to cut a board and use it to mount. It mounts very easily from that point and you will be happy with the result!

It is up to you. I used a 4 X 4 wooden post that is working quite well. Best wishes.

Well, i built a simple wood frame, but you could just as easily screw the material into the wall at the studs, and you can always patch the holes up with spackling when you move. Then use that 4 inch 1mm black felt tape around the borders. I like the tape. It finishes it ff nice and helps square up the picture. JVCC-felt06 is what I used.
