Hello everyone.
We would like to install two retractable side awnings on our patio roof.
I would prefer to avoid mounting them on the house wall, as the awning boxes would then permanently extend several centimeters (inches) into the walkway that goes around the house. Therefore, we would like to attach the awning boxes to the posts (aluminum?!) of the patio roof.
Now my question is… How?!
My idea is to use standard metal toggle bolts, similar to those used in drywall installation.
Basically, drill the appropriate hole through the wall of the post and then use the toggle bolts to secure the awning boxes there…
Will that hold?!
How do manufacturers do it when you order a patio roof with side awnings directly?
I’m curious if anyone here has already solved this “problem”…
