[Sekey Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Sekey]

Hi has anyone done any modification to brackets to flush mount awing directly on the roof without any roof racks or rails? I would like to know if there is such a bracket or where to buy them. Or id anyone has mounted it in this manner, some information will be appreciated.

I dont think the fixings in roof would handle a bracket that could vibrate with weight of a awning. They are designed to hold a bar which is fixed on other side so wont vibrate.

There are these https://rackless.com.au/ that I had considered but changed my mind when I saw what was required to fit them.

Looking at the joint of the awning support and the horizontal to fix to roof , that wont last long. It looks like that weld would easily fracture with the weight of the awning.
304 SS doesnt lend itself to any vibration and that weld will be a real weak point.
