Yes, it will be in several pieces, depending on the length of your awning and it =will require a ladder to access, unless you want to roof-walk and lean over the edge to install it. Another neat option is a springy vinyl piece that looks to slip into the awning track and sits =over= the awning. The awning rolls up underneath this piece and it simply rolls up underneath. This is from A&E Awnings.
