Zip Dee awning
The tension rule of thumb is 1 turn for each foot of awning plus 4 to 7 extra
turns. Caution as I have seen the rod get away and literally snap wrists. It
happens so fast you can not get out of the way.
Safe travels, Ralph &

Ralph F. and I replaced the rivets in my awning several years ago.
Same as the spring, which had to come out to be checked.
Was fairly easy. Does require two people and two ladders. Can be done
by one person, but two makes it easier. Zip Dee has all necessary parts.
A word of caution, watch the spring tension(requires so many turns) and use
steel rivets(not the supplied aluminum ones).
Zip Dee can tell you about how many turns, but add a couple or more.
