The SunSetter EasyShade can be installed with the mounting brackets on a wall (vertical surface) see Figure 1a or on the underside of a structure (horizontal surface) see Figure 1b. For the 4’, 6’ and 8’ models, each of the brackets should be installed so that it is no more than 10" from the end of the shade assembly. When mounting a 10’ Model, a mounting bracket should be installed at each end of the shade assembly so that it is no more than 10" from the end of the shade. The third mounting bracket should be installed at the mid point between the two end brackets.

STEP 1. Determine the desired location for the mounting brackets, making sure that they are plumb and level. Using a pencil, mark the 2 hole locations in the bracket. Using a 1/8" bit, drill holes approximately 1-1/2" deep at both hole locations. Repeat for the mounting bracket on the other side, and the center mounting location on 10’ models.

STEP 2A. For mounting on a wall (vertical surface), secure each bracket with two #8 x 1-1/2" round-head screws. Note the orientation of the bracket, the end with the set screw should be at the bottom. See Figure 1a.

STEP 2B. For mounting on an underside structure (horizontal surface), secure each bracket with two #8 x 1-1/2" round-head screws. Note the orientation of the bracket, the end with the set screw should face toward you as you face your mounting location. See Figure 1b.

STEP 3. Secure the crank loop onto the gear shaft using the provided attachment screw.

STEP 4. Orient the shade assembly so that the crank loop is on your right as you face the installed brackets.

STEP 5. With your helper, lift the shade assembly up to the installed mounting brackets and insert the top groove of the shade assembly onto the protruding tab on the mounting brackets (See Figure 1a). While maintaining upward pressure to keep the top groove of the shade assembly on the tab of the mounting brackets, press the shade assembly toward the mounting bracket and tighten the set screw in each of the mounting brackets until the shade assembly is secure. See figure 2. Your installation is complete.

The SunSetter EasyShade extends down 6-1/2 feet to provide a wide range of flexible shade. You may also choose to use the provided bungees and bungee brackets so that the extended shade can be secured.

  • Mount the bungee brackets at the desired height(s) using the screws provided.
  • Insert the bungee cord through the grommet at each corner of the shade.
  • Place the bungee cord over the hook on the bracket.
