My Own Vendor's Rack With Awning and Matching Backdrop Is Completed

Today I completed the backdrop for my vendor's rack. I lined up the stripes and the grommets with the awning, cut it to the correct length, and finished it with custom made matching edge binding.

Backdrop for Vendor's Cart Awning


I capped off the tips of the tent poles, for calm days when tie-down lines aren't necessary. On windy days, I will center my adjustable height tent poles in stacked dumbbell weights. A tie down line attached to the weights and then up to the pole tip should provide enough wind resistance.
 By centering the tent poles in dumbbell weights :
1) Easier to set up an awning by yourself.
2)Stabilizes the tent poles on concrete.
3)Keeps the poles from sliding on concrete, when windy.
4)Provides resistance for  tie-down lines.

I will field test this new concept soon.
