Being an outdoor feature, awnings such as the ever-famous zipscreen awnings in Sydney are usually attached to an outdoor wall or even to a specific section of the house roof - usually just above the gutter. Before making a final decision, make sure to speak with the company that you’re planning to procure the awning from to get a better understanding of how the awning will be installed and what kind of customizations will be undertaken to ensure the awning fits the location perfectly. Don’t forget, how the awning is mounted directly impacts the height, as well as the incline it’s at to ensure the awning actually serves its intended purpose.
