install motorized retractable awning?
 

Okay, we are ready to install a MatriX motorized retractable
awning. The instructions say mount the brackets minimum 7’6”. I
only have one story home and do have 8’4” to the bottom of my
soffit overhang. My question is should I invest in the roof
mounts and cover just to gain approx. 12” in height? Has anyone
compared looking at this unit in the closed position from a roof
mount or under overhang perspective? Also has anyone experienced
damage from ice or snow with the roof mounts?

Thanks,
TP

My personal opinion is it would look best under the soffit or attached to
the facia (Unless you have a gutter)
