Sunshades and methods of installing sunshades

A sunshade array for mounting to a building structure, comprising:

• first and second sunshades adjacent each other;
• each one of the first and second sunshades having a building mounting side, a cantilever side opposite the building mounting side, and first and second opposite ends extending between the building mounting side and the cantilever side;
• the first and second sunshades adjacent each other such that the first end of the first sunshade and the second end of the second sunshade face each other and form a pocket between the first end of the first sunshade and the second end of the second sunshade;
• and
• a connector positioned within the pocket substantially at the cantilever sides of the first and second sunshades, the connector engaged with the first end of the first sunshade and the second end of the second sunshade and holding the first and second sunshades together in a desired alignment.

A method of mounting sunshades to a building structure, comprising:

• positioning a first sunshade assembly adjacent first and second sunshade anchors mounted to the building structure;
• aligning a slot in an end of a first outrigger of the first sunshade assembly with a hanger hook of the first sunshade anchor;
• moving the first sunshade toward the first anchor such that the slot in the end of the first outrigger slidingly receives the hanger hook of the first sunshade anchor;
• aligning a slot in an end of a second outrigger of the first sunshade assembly with a hanger hook of the second sunshade anchor;
• moving the first sunshade toward the second anchor such that the slot in the end of the second outrigger slidingly receives the hanger hook of the first sunshade anchor;
• and
• securely fastening the first and second outriggers to the first and second anchors, respectively.
