I just bought this. Should I mount the corners hard or use bungee cords for a little movement? Thanks

We live in a very windy area, so we used the turn buckles for two ends, for added strength.

Either way should be fine. If your winters include snow, take it down for that season.

It flexes a little anyway so I fixed it tight on all corners. I think it looks better.

Mount them hard with rope or chain or cable. Bungee would work but would stretch a lot with some moderate winds. Its very tough material and well reenforced and you'll want to pull it tight so it doesn't sag too much in the middle.

I use bungee cords to secure pole to bleachers and use at my sons football games all the time. If you secure it well, even in strong winds, no problem. Works very well and set up/break down is fast. Sit in the back so you don't block any views.

I started at the corners and then used the rest of them trying to space them evenly. It helps to have another person to help stretch the net towards the frame while you attach the bungees.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

You can do either ,just decide if it's going to be a permanent or practical installation if so you'll need the toggle kit which allows you to take it down and put it up reasonably faster and adjust the tightness hope I helped you...

Yes it should, it's got 2 holes for mounting and moves in both directions. It should be fine for mounting in a corner.

That's what we use it for. The legs "fan out" so you can configure it based on where you have it. You can always bungee it to something or use some weights if you think it will be unstable. We keep them under our EZ UP tents so they work perfectly.

I use the suction mount that it came with, I bought a heavy glass ashtray & silicone glued the suction flat to it. makes it more stable & does not tip over. Sits on the dashboard so both of us can see it.

In my experience, it was very self-explanatory. Not complicated in the least. Just decide at what point you'd like to anchor the shades and place the rings there. With the bungee ties, you have wiggle room to not get it perfect and it will still be great.

You could use heavy duty Velcro but when you try to adjust settings it might wiggle around it depends on how you mounted it. Be sure to mount the Velcro to the bracket not on the unit. Another way you could do it, is use 250 lb double sided tape again on the mounting mounting bracket. The big issue is where you mount it.

Use the bolts at each corner of the base. I took off the bent brackets as they didn't make sense.

I used a wall mount that came with mine. It says you need to take the stabilization leg off, but I didn't and it worked just fine. Have had it mounted for almost a year now with no issues.

you have to use lag bolts that will grip the inside of the wall, if you have an over hang that is flush with the top of the angle bracket use the bolts that came with the awning to secure at the top to. hope this helps.

I ended up using a couple of bungee cords to keep the front panel out of the way when driving in and out of the unit..I rolled the front panel up and then bungeed it to the top cross member...

I did you a roof rack along with the sheet I purchased to keep it from slipping. The straps they included are pretty useless - I used bungie cords to strap it down. I also put the contents in plastic garbage bags to keep them dry if it rained. It did rain and because of the bags, everything inside remained dry.

No. I have not mounted this in a corner, the device is flat in the back. I don't think this will work well in a corner.

Mine did not come with a mounting kit - I'm guessing they offer it for an additional price now? To me, cord management is very important and it would be great to have something to hide the cord, but it is definitely not necessary. Mine came with a cord that is spiraled and while it is advised not to wrap this cord around anything, my husband and I actually wrapped it around the posts - from one to the other - that mount to the wall and do not get hot (we tested to be sure!). Now the cord parallels the bottom most bar (which does get hot) but we keep the cord against the wall so it never comes near this heated bar. It has been like this for years just fine and we enjoy not having a cord drooping down the wall. The manufacturer would never recommend this (understandably), but it was our solution. We also always have a towel hanging in between the bottom bar and the cord. Because cord management is important to me, if they had offered this mounting kit when I purchased mine and their kit looked like a good aesthetic and functional (but not over-priced) solution, I would have bought it. Hope this helps!
