Two little 6' Vintage Trailer Awnings in Progress

 I am using up a roll end of Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric, to make two small 6' vintage trailer awnings. The awning fabric is Black/"White", but the "White" has black fibers woven into it, so it appears gray.

As always, during inventory, I use up roll ends of fabric, partial spools of thread, and limited yardage on spools of Sunbrella braid trim.

One small trailer awning will be 6' along the rail and 7'4" forward.

The edge binding is Sunbrella Silver Braid trim. 

The second vintage camper awning will be a 6' x 6'.







Some people use these small awnings for door awning, on a larger trailer, when they do not want to set up their large awning for just a one night stop over. However, it could be used for a full-sized awning on tiny camper with just a 6' c-channel awning rail.

Many of you already know, that I make inventory awnings, at this time of year, until the temperatures get too cold to work in my basement workshop.

I have two larger awnings cut out and ready to work on soon. Both are a little over 11' X 8'. One is Tillman Shale and the other is Captain Navy Classic.

Vintage Trailer Awnings for Sale 10' X 8"

 I am going through my remaining Sunbrella Marine Grade Awning Fabric Inventory, and making awnings sized according to how much yardage remains on the roll. Taken into consideration also, is whether I have enough matching Sunbrellla braid trim and coordinating thread left.

I also have two arched awnings available. One is Beaufort Ember and the other is Sunbrella Americana. Since USPS just raised their postage fees, shipping the shock poles is pricey. However, both of these awnings can be used as traditional flat awnings without the shock poles, for the budget minded consumer.

Sunbrella Americana approximately 8' along a straight rail by approximately 7' out dfoster@bellsouth.net


Beaufort Ember arched awning 7 1/2' along a straight rail x 8' out dfoster@bellsouth.net

An arched awning slides into a straight c-channel awning rail with a 3/8" diameter opening on the end. The shock poles are measured to be the correct length ONLY for a straight/ level rail.

Sunbrella Beaufort Ember Sunbrella Awnings In Progress

 This week I am working on the Sunbrella Beaufort Ember marine grade awning fabric that is remaining, in my inventory.

So far, it looks like I will be able to make an 8' x 8' SOLD vintage trailer awning, a 7 1/2' X 8' vintage camper awning, and maybe one other smaller retro style trailer awning.

Pictured is this Beaufort Ember pattern made into an arched awning from a few years ago. Then I lost track of the remaining fabric in my storage area! dfoster@bellsouth.net



The arched 7 1/2'  along rail X 8' Beaufort Ember is available, the 8' x 8' is already SOLD.
