Where should the front bar of the awning be in relation to the base when the retractable awning is fully extended?
The angle of the awning is its pitch. The pitch is set in the design of the awning, and RetractableAwnings.com has accessories that allow you to adjust the pitch on certain models, including the Elegante, Ferrara, and Grande. We have recommended pitch charts which detail the ideal pitch for maximum strength. The important thing is to have enough pitch to run off rain effectively; a general rule is 3″ of pitch for every foot of projection. This means that a 12′ awning needs 36″ of pitch. If the front bar ends at 7′, the awning must be mounted 10′ high.
