Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I don’t have this bracket and use a center rafter?
You won’t have a proper hook-on point for the rafter; the rafter can’t be properly secured, reducing effectiveness and possibly leading to damage to the awning lead bar or fabric.

Q: Is this bracket under load, and how strong is it?
Yes,it is under load when a center rafter is used. It’s designed to handle the forces involved (wind, canopy tension). But avoid using a damaged or cracked bracket as that compromises strength.

Q: Can I use this bracket with F45  awnings?
It’s specifically for F45 S and L series.
