Can you attach an awning to a conservatory?

Thinking about getting an awning installed in the Spring, but want to check whether it can safely be attached to a conservatory. Are there any structural or warranty issues to be aware of?

"Awnings can often be fitted to conservatories, but it depends on the structure. Conservatories aren’t always designed to take the extra weight or wind load, so a structural check is important. Fixing an awning directly to the frame can also affect the conservatory warranty if it’s not approved by the original manufacturer or installer. We’d always recommend a professional site survey and checking the warranty terms before proceeding, or considering awnings specifically designed for conservatory use."

"Hi,

It would not be advisable due to potential stresses made on the UPVC frame and roof structure."
