[200William-EC] Balcony awning's fixtures.

[Matt Perkins]

Hi All,
  I was enjoying breakfast this morning when the head of a bolt that 
holds up the awning grill on the balcony dropped to the ground. A quick 
check off all the blots noted a few missing and a few more that the 
heads have sheared off. Two fell off on inspection.  These are of the 
galvanized self drilling type that are intended for use in holding on 
roofing etc. Im not to sure they are intended to suspend such a heavy 
steel grill. But in any case if enough of them were to corrode through 
teemed with the missing ones a safety issue may arise.

I will replace the corroded one's on my balcony but I suggest other 
owners have a quick inspection  to insure it's just isolated to my 
apartment. I know the previous owner had something heavy suspended from 
our apartment as the grid was bent when i moved in. So it may be just mine.

See attached photo for what to look for.

Matt.
