A Customer Shared A Picture of Their Arched Vintage Trailer Awning

A customer shared a picture of their trailer, with an arched vintage trailer awning, which I made.
Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi has been making arched vintage trailer awnings for many years, and it is always nice to receive a picture, even when they remember to send it years later.

Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric has an expected 10 years before fading or leaking. It also provides UV protection against the harmful effects of the sun.
The arched awnings, have extra height underneath and incline for rain run off. The shock poles make the awning taut, so they are not staked out tightly. For this reason, vendors are able to set up on hard-packed soil or even concrete, and just  use weighted tie-down lines, to keep the wind from flipping the arched awning. Some people use milk jugs filled with water, or other more creative ideas like vintage thermos, vintage cooler, vintage picnic baskets, to give you some idea.
