DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The “The Z Bracket” is the foundation piece that holds a post of any size or shape at an angle of approximately 80 degrees created by leaning the post back by 10 degrees from a 90 degree position. The post at the top portion is connected to a shade of any size and shape connected to a building. This shape forms a Z starting at the top of the shade and extending down the length of the post and finishing at the bracket to form a Z shape. The bracket can be attached to any flat surface to bolt into and allow a solid foundation for the post and shade that it supports.
