Starting to get more work installing patio awnings for a company.

The larger ones are heavy. Up to about 4 metres long is manageable by 2
people, above that, especially on the half cassette jobbies (the brackets
need careful alignment) is a bit of a struggle.

Current method is me & Desmond & two step ladders.

Looking for a more controlled mechanical way of lifting to around 8' above
ground.

No clearance behind awning to speak of, so it needs lifting from above or
below.

I'm considering a ladder leaning against the wall, with a block & tackle to
give a 3 fold advantage. Slightly worried that the base may slip away from
the wall.

Looked at Farm Jacks, but they don't seem to have the height.

Any ideas?
