Next Inventory Awning In Progress

The next inventory awning in progress is an 8' x 8' arched awning. This awning will be made from Manhattan Classic marine grade awning fabric with Sunbrella Black braid trim on the scalloped valances.
                                        SOLD
I made one for a Honey Vendor out of this pattern.

The arched awnings come with shock poles, which provide extra height underneath and incline for rain off.
Vendors like them because the awning will be taut without staked out lines. It will still need to be anchored.  When setting up on concrete, like many Vendors due, they use weighted, decorative props on the tie-down lines.#inventoryawning

7 1/2' x 7 1/2' Arched Awning For Sale SOLD

As I await the birth of my Grandson, I have been working on inventory awnings. 
This is a 7 1/2' x 7 1/2' arched awning with shock poles. The material is Grey/Beige Chip Fancy Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric. It has Sunbrella Grey braid trim on the scalloped valances.
  
Pockets are formed in the facings for the shock poles.

There is a tie strap on the underside to secure where the shock poles cross.


The 7/16" diameter shock poles arch the awning up for added height underneath and incline for rain runoff.

The shock poles hold the shape, however tie down lines are still necessary to keep the awning anchored due to the wind.



 Testing out the shock pole lengths in my dining room!


The awning ships for $18.00 in a medium flat rate box.
The shock poles ship separately in a 36' x 5' x 2' rectangular box weighing 2 pounds 13 ounces. So this cost varies by zip code. (Ranging from approximately $17.00 West Coast, $12.00 Mid-country, $10.00 East Coast)

#vintagetrailerawnings

Since my children are grown, and flew the coup many years ago, sometimes it takes a while for me to catch up with the times!
I was told that searching with the pound sign is what is common now. Excuse me, hashtag I mean!
So this is an experiment!

2018 VW Arched Awning Ready To Mail

The first VW Arched Awning for 2018 is boxed and ready to mail. This Volkswagen Westfalia Bus awning is 8' x 8', with shock poles to arch it up, for more height underneath and incline for rain run off. It is designed to attach to the rain gutter on the vintage VW Bus.


Here I am testing the lengths on the shock poles, to arch up the VW Awning.

 As pictured, you can see that the shock poles hold the form of the Westfalia arched awning even when upside down.

The shock poles will have a tie on the underside to secure where the shock poles cross.
For the picture, while testing the poles a Velcro strap is temporarily holding them.

A rain gutter pole inserts into the casing along the edge and is held into the rain gutter by a variety of different types of clamps. Due to the rain gutter pole and the shock poles, shipping costs vary by location zip code. 

Inquire at for pricing and shipping estimate.
I do have Pre-Made VW awnings in 7 1/2 rain gutter lengths boxed and ready to mail. One is Fern Heather Beige Block Stripe Sunbrella  SOLD and the other is Baycrest Pacific.  SOLD

2018 Starts Off With A Variety Of Awning Projects

Despite the brutal Georgia temperatures, and having had the flu, I managed to complete a variety of projects so far in 2018.
Pictured are some different types of awnings.

#rockguardawning
  Some customers own several trailers. So, in this case their main awning fit both trailers, and they wanted two different sized matching Rock Guard Awnings.

#vintagetrailerawning
Another customer wanted an 8' x 8' arched awning. Here the shock poles are being tested for size. This pattern is Sunbrella Forest Green Natural marine grade awning fabric.

17' x 8' BayCrest Sky Awning

95" x 24" matching front window awning








 This customer ordered a very long awning with a large matching front window awning.







Up next is a VW Westfalia Bus arched awning, which I am working on today. This one will be 8' x 8' in Taupe Tailored Bar Stripe. Pictured is an example of another VW arched awning that I made last year.

#vwbusawning




Moving forward I will be making a 12' x 9' Airstream awning made with Sunbrella Manhattan Classic.
