The access equipment kit includes all of the tools required to access the installation area, and to lift the frames into place. We recommend keeping two sets of the ladders seen below as a minimum for each installation vehicle. Each ladder set should contain a 6' step ladder, a 10' step ladder, and a 24' extension ladder.

The access equipment kit also includes two canopy stands and at least one material lift as seen below. These tools are used to lift the awning and canopy modules into place and to temporarily support them while the connections are installed. Other important tools in this category include scaffolding and cranes, which are not typically used on every installation. These much larger items can be rented at most equipment rental houses as needed.

These items are available at many of your local hardware or home improvement warehouse stores.
