STEP 1: Install Valance Brackets
Wall Installation
Ceiling Installation
Determine your type of installation. Your solar shade can be
hung from a wall or a ceiling. See Figures B and C.
Your shade is shipped with a protective lm to prevent scratching during shipping. Remove this lm prior to installation.
Fig B Fig C
Your shade includes three (3) Valance Brackets, you must install at least two (2) of them. Install one (1) Valance Bracket
near each end of the shade. Note: the Valance Brackets cannot be installed on the extreme edges of the shade, you will need
to allow at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) at the ends of each side. We recommend installing the brackets on the closet stud to
each end of the shade, remembering to allow at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) from each end. If you are installing a third bracket,
install it near the center of the shade (ideally on a wood stud). Install the Valance Brackets into wood studs. If wood studs
are not available, you will need to use anchors (not included). See your local hardware store for more information.
Some shade models include a paper template to help align your pilot holes. If your shade includes a template, temporarily adhere it to your installation area, making sure it is straight and level, then mark and drill your pilot holes. Remove the
paper template before installing your Valance Brackets.
For wall installations, you
need to allow at least 1 inch
(2.54 cm) above the bracket
to allow the valance to hook
onto the bracket (only if
there is a ceiling that overhangs the shade). See Fig D.

For ceiling installations, you
need to allow at least 1 inch
(2.54 cm) behind the bracket

is a wall behind the shade).
See Fig E.

It is very important that your brackets are perfectly aligned with each other (your shade will not install correctly
unless your brackets are perfectly aligned with each other). We recommend using a laser level to align the screw
holes.
For a wall installation, make
sure the plastic tabs on your
Valance Brackets are pointing
towards the ground (Fig F). Use
the screws from your hardware
box to install these brackets.

Install bungee system (optional step)
e shade includes two (2) Bungee Systems to secure the bottom of both
sides of your shade. To install the Bungee System, start by feeding the Bungee through the Bottom Tube Plugs located at each end of your Bottom Tube
(Fig O). en insert the Bungee into the Hook and drill the Hook into a wall/
post using one (1) Bracket Screw (Fig P) 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 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.
