I have a 4.5m omnistor awning sourced second hand with no instructions.
I have fixed the mounting brackets in place ready to mount the awning and am unsure how the awning is secured to the brackets when in place.
A lip on the top of the brackets fits into a channel on the rear of the awning and the bottom of the awning sits on an outward curve at the bottom of the brackets like half a U. This curved part has fixing holes not threaded but no corresponding holes in the awning. It looks like extra holes have been drilled in the rear of the awning for additional wall fixing but nothing on the bottom.
Has anyone fitted this type of awning do I drill through the bottom to use the fixing holes ? It is very heavy and I want to go full belt and braces on it.
Thanks
Dave
