A couple of years ago we fabricated a custom awning for another kind of trailer (oops, one of those "
some
other
brand" trailers... actually a teardrop) I purchased sunbrella in fairly large quantities online from a search and got an excellent price and service. I tried to look and see who I purchased it from... but didn't find it. I found the company that would give me the best price/service. If you want to sew it yourself you will need a sewing machine that has a little "oomph" to it. I have one that is all metal and was made in 1934. It worked great. An upholstery type machine might make it easier. I wouldn't try using a newer machine that has plastic parts. The fabric is fairly hefty. Any way, our awning has held up very well and they have a great selection of colors, etc. from the Sunbrella line. Good luck!
