AS&D IMPORTANT NOTE
These installation instructions are for use after sunshade brackets have been installed. Refer to separate document: ASD Sunshade Bracket Installation Instructions. Every sunshade (both standard and non-standard) has a site-specific submittal package for material and installation instruction details. The site-submittal package MUST be used to guide all installation steps. If you have further questions, contact your AS&D project manager.
Note: Some larger, or non-standard, sunshades require different hardware and installation methods. Refer to the AS&D submittal package for instructions.
