Abstract
A header rail is provided for mounting an awning having an awning rope and rafter arms to a building wall having siding with outwardly extending laps. The header rail includes an extrusion having a front wall and a pair of legs extending from the front wall. The legs have generally co-planar building wall engaging surfaces and space the front wall from the building wall to form a longitudinally extending interior space sized for accepting one or more of the siding laps. The front wall forms in cross-section a longitudinally extending awning rope retainer and a longitudinally extending guide way. Rafter extensions are provided to slide into the guide way and pivotally connect the rafter arms.
