I'm running a 21' straight section with no corners. One end is a brick wall, the opposite end freestanding. Anything to consider with this setup?

On the open and you'll want to put the final post socket in the cement so it's solid. On the other and where there is brick I would screw an eye bolt in the brick and then use one of the hooks from the fence to secure it so you can remove it if you want. I think you will just need to install the eye hook at the top of that section

Mine is essentially free-standing -- I added extensions with 2x4 into the plastic base -- I think to a total depth of 18 or 24 inches -- and poured redi-mix concrete around it -- it is against a wall but not really flush and I havent had to support it with any bolts through the actual trellis framework into the wall. The 2x4 were a little hard to get fully seated into the base but so far it hasnt had any trouble and we get some pretty strong winds here

The top and sidewalls are separate pieces. We used it without the walls. The structure itself is flimsy, so if you purchase this you will want to plan on buying extra stakes and figuring how to keep the top sections together. They separate with moderate breezes.

I have one that is actually under a slight overhang and when it starts to go up it goes back away from the overhang and clears so I think against a wall would be fine.

I have 2 lined up also. Just make sure you don't hang too much weight from them, as 3 might encourage you to store more on top! And as the other comment indicated, hitting the center of the framing is critical. Have fun!

That should be good. We have 3 inches at the top, for airflow. Nothing on the sides, and we have had no problems. Hope this works for you.

The sides assist in keeping the entire unit square and sturdy. You might be able to mount it to some 2x4's in an open frame design. It may not be worth your gamble on that information. Hope this helps

Yes. All you have to do is leave out the corner section. It will be quite stable.

The unit is a hexagon - basically a rectangle with triangles on each side (looking down from above). That shape allows you to squeeze it into the corner. If you put it flat against the wall, the triangular sides are going to look funny - probably see the unfinished part behind the sides.

You have to attach it to a stud, so you will have to run a parallel board of some kind if the studs do not overlap the awnings spacing. You won't have an issue, but you may have to get creative. That said, stucco would be much easier vrs the brick I had to go through.

You can use one side or no sides. They are attached seperatley with a bungy cord and the side poles are only used if you have the sides up. You woukd be surprised how much more space you have when the sides are used.

The back is angled. You could use it against a flat wall, the far back is flat, it doesn't come to a point. It just works in a corner because the left and right rear corners are cut off. Make sure you have an electric screwdriver if you plan to assemble this piece yourself...there are a million screws.

Not very. However for most things I have done I am spreading a very thin layer and then putting the two pieces together so there is little opportunity to run. I know it will run even after fifteen minutes it I have some that has flowed out of the joint so I try to keep things as horizontal as possible.

You could by cutting the foam and adding hard wood blocks but i would find a different 51 setup the way you won't it for the money you would spend.

You may do it with 5. There isn't enough pieces to do it with 6. And you should probably consider have it fixed against the wall because it is going to be high.

You could put two together side by side, but the edge boards do not have shadow marks, so they would have to be added in order for it to not look out of character right at the center of the wall.

I never tried it. If it helps you, I'll try it tomorrow when I'm home. I run it horizontally. You'd have to secure its position sideways.
