STEP 1: Remove Protective Film from Valance
Remove and discard the anti-scratch lm that covers the Valance (A).
STEP 2: Install Ring
Using the Ring Screw (N) and Lock Washer (O) provided in the pole package, attach the
Ring (M) to the Crank Mechanism (H) (Fig. 1).
STEP 3: Determine Your Installation Type
Determine your type of installation. Your sun shade can be hung from a wall or a ceiling.
Figure 2 illustrates a wall installation, Figure 3 illustrates a ceiling installation.
STEP 4: Install Valance Brackets (read entire step before install)
Your shade includes three (3) Valance Brackets (L), you must install at least two (2) of
them. Install one (1) Valance Bracket (L) near each end of the shade. Note: the Valance
Brackets (L) cannot be installed on the extreme edges of the shade, you will need to allow
at least 2 inches (5 cm) at the ends of each side. We recommend installing the Valance
Brackets (L) on the closest stud to each end of the shade, remembering to allow at least 2
inches (5 cm) from each end. If wood studs are not available, you will need to use anchors
(not included).

Fig. 2
If you are installing the third Valance Bracket (L) (recommended), we suggest installing it
on a wood stud near the center of the shade. It needs to be aligned with the two (2) end
Valance Brackets (L). If wood studs are not available, you will need to use anchors (not
included). Visit your local hardware store for more information.
Your shade includes a paper template to help align your pilot holes. Use of the template
is optional, but recommended. To use the template, temporarily adhere to your surface.
Make sure the template is at, level and unwrinkled before adhering it to your surface.
Remove the template before you install your Valance Brackets (L).
Important note: your shade will not install correctly unless your Valance Brackets (L) are
perfectly aligned with each other. We recommend using a laser level (not included) to
align the screw holes.
WALL INSTALLATION
For wall installations, you need to allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the Valance
Bracket (L) to allow the Valance (A) to hook onto the Valance Bracket (L) (only if
there is a ceiling that overhangs the shade) (Fig. 4).
For a wall installation, make sure the plastic tabs on your Valance Brackets (L) are
pointing towards the ground (see Fig. 5). Use the Bracket Screws (K) to install the
Valance Brackets (L).

(only if there is a wall/window behind the shade) (Fig. 6).
For ceiling installation, make sure the plastic tabs on your Valance Brackets (L)
are pointing out, towards you (Fig. 7). Use the Bracket Screws (K) to install these

Install Bungee System (optional step)
e shade includes two (2) Bungee Systems (J) to secure the bottom of
both sides of your shade. To install the Bungee System (J), start by feeding the Bungee through the Bottom Tube Plugs (C) located at each end of
your Bottom Tube (Fig. 13). en insert the Bungee into the Hook and
drill the Hook into a wall/post using one (1) Bracket Screw (K) (Fig. 14)
from your hardware box. To prevent fabric stretching/damage, hooks
should be installed directly underneath the Bottom Tube Plugs and so
there is equal tension on each bungee.
Important: Your shade should be rolled up during windy conditions. e
Bungee System (J) is only eective in light wind. When using your shade,
we recommend leaving at least one (1) roll of fabric wrapped around the
top tube.

Additional Optional Steps
REVERSING THE ROLL DIRECTION OF YOUR FABRIC
e default fabric roll direction of your shade is “reverse”. at is, the fabric rolls from the back side of the top tube.
If you want the fabric to roll towards the front of your shade, simply roll your shade down until the fabric begins to
roll itself back up, towards the Valance (A). Note: if you reverse the roll direction of your fabric, you will need to
move your Ring (M) so it does not interfere with the fabric.
MOVING THE RING FROM THE RIGHT TO LEFT SIDE OF THE SHADE
e default location for your Ring (M) is on the right side of your shade. If you want to move the Ring (M) to the
le side of your shade, please contact us for instructions on this process. e process takes approximately een (15)
minutes.
MOVING THE RING FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK OF THE SHADE
e default placement for your Ring (M) is in the front of your shade. at is, the Ring (M) is placed near the front of
the Valance (A). If you want to move your Ring (M) to the back of the Valance (A), please contact us for instructions
on this process. Note: if you move the Ring (M) from the front to the back of your Valance (A), you will also need to
reverse the roll direction of your fabric. e process takes approximately een (15) minutes.
Care & Maintenance
To clean your shade, simply rinse with water and soap, scrub with a so brush. Note: Using bleach or an abrasive cleaner will void your warranty. Roll the shade down to air dry. Your shade should be rolled up during windy conditions.
