Self Made Awning

[bgordon]

I just ordered some vinyl welt to attach to my fabric for a DIY awning.

I found a few different places on the net that offered it, but

SAILRITE:
Sunbrella Fabrics, Sailcloth, Canvas Fabric and Sail Hardware, Gill Foul Weather Gear and More!

had quite a few choices and seems really easy to order from. They also have plenty of the other materials needed for awning making.

We went to a trailer store and asked about awnings. They ended up having a large awning that had been stored by them for the last 10 years. They let us have it for a pittance and we had it cut down by a local shop for $35. We are now looking at how to reattach it to the awning mechanism and to the trailer. We have an old Carefree model and wish it was Zip-dee, but that is beyond our funding.
