How do you connect the bracket arms to the awning? I don't see any holes to attach to.

it locks in place by pressure... there's like a little wedge space that when you place it correctly it will clip...

the side bracket holes I used just a standard screw size, the top bracket I would recommend bolting all the way through the top for more support. Can't remember the sizes but they are pretty standard you can pick up the bolts at any Hard wear store.

You use the base (hidden by the arm) to locate two screw holes. Go to the DELTA site and search for this product, there are mounting instructions.

The arms that come with the awning are only 28" long and need to be mounted directly beneath the awning. I would be impossible to get them to extend straight out but if you add extenders, I used 3/4" x 3/4" x 48" garden stakes, you can get it to act more like a shade awning. I suppose if you positioned the extended arms about half way down from the top then you could get the awning to extend almost straight out when extended by when you retract it the front of the awning would be about two feet above the back of the awning once it got back to the wall. So if you don't mind that look then yes you could get it to extend straight out. The arms are spring loaded at the joint that attaches to the wall and the part that attaches to the front of the awning is just a bolt, not a swivel, so not much you can do about that connection without spending a lot of money.

You have to use the bracket. Also, you need a large hole through the wall or a large circuit box that you can do your connections in. There is a large cable coming out of the unit that splits into several connectors at the end of the cable.

If you can't get the screw in anchors in the ground, then you can use the big nails to stake down the bottom of the awning. It comes with seven runners that slide in the slot in the awing and seven s hooks, I bought seven more runners and hooks because for a 20' awning you need that many, why it don't come with 14 I don't know.

I bought the plastic hooks that slide into the awning groove. These come with S hooks that slide into a hole in the plastic part that slides into the awning groove and then I hang the cord onto the other end of the S hook. Works great.

You could just not connect the mounting bar & bracket, kinda defeats the purpose though. I believe there's another model, ~$50 cheaper, that doesn't include the bar at all.

By purchasing a socket. I got mine off of Amazon with 4 sockets and brackets for mounting something like a softbox around it for $19.

Use the screws. Make sure that the holes you drill for them are squarely in the beam. I did not use the anchors

I don't see screw holes, and want to attach it to a wood pole. Can it be done, and how?

I would suggest having someone else mount your tv if you cant figure this out! Look at the picture.the arm with the verticle bars (||) mounts to t.v the other arm mounts to the wall.youll probably have to go to your hardware store and buy a few nuts and bolts and washers though. I had too with mine.pkg didnt include what i neede.once you mount it though you will be extreemly happy with it. Even have jealous neighbors!

I went outside to take measurements. The total length of the square metal tube that holds up awning is 9'8". The area for the mounting brackets is 9" (4.5" per side). I would tell you the 9' mounting area is not long enough...you need 9" more to install mounting brackets.

there is no bracket, route the wires in the slot on the left, put the connection wires in the space provided. (tricky sometimes to do) then install 1 screw in provided place.

Hi, I made a phone call to the Westin company. They were very helpful, and do not forget the brackets. You also need the right brackets or nothing will fit. Good Luck

Yes. The awning has to be attached separately, not as part of the basic set-up.

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.
