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.

Three Vintage Trailer Awnings Are Available For Sale 2022 Spring Camping Season

 These Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi are made with Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric. The first vintage camper awning is Sunbrella pattern Black Forest Fancy Stripe. This one is 7 1/2' x 8'

Scalloped valances on three sides edged with Sunbrella braid trim to coordinate

The vinyl welt slides into a c-channel awning rail with a 3/8" diameter opening on the end

The c-channel awning rail needs to have a 7 1/2' section that is relatively straight, not curved.

Facings along the perimeter of the underside add extra structure and reinforcement for the 2 brass grommets

On the 10' x 8' awning, there are three grommets for three adjustable height tent poles, which are not included. When selecting an adjustable height tent pole, be sure it extends high enough for the type of trailer that you own. An awning rail that is high off of the ground, will need a longer telescoping tent pole than a small trailer with a lower awning rail.

This second camper awning is made with Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric pattern Taupe 5 Bar.

Springtime 2022 Arched Vintage Trailer Awnings For Sale

I have been making some Inventory Awnings for sale in Spring 2022. Currently, I have two Arched Inventory Awnings for sale, with shock poles.           dfoster@bellsouth.net

           Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi

 

The shock poles insert into pockets formed in the facings on the underside of the arched awning

                                           

                                       SOLD

An arched awning provides incline for rain run off and extra height underneath the awning

Checking the fiberglass shock poles for length

I was able to acquire some shorter length fiberglass shock pole sections, which fit into a large flat rate USPS priority mail box with the arched awning. This will save on shipping costs anywhere in the USA.

 

There is a tie strap and a Velcro strap to secure where the shock poles cross

 
This set of blue fiberglass shock poles had a little surface corrosion from warehouse storage. I used a Magic Eraser to make them look better, no pitting.


This is the other arched vintage trailer awning being fitted for shock poles.

An arched vintage trailer awning slides into a c-channel awning rail with a 3/8" diameter opening on the end. An arched awning needs a straight level awning rail for at least the same length as the awning. The largest arched awnings that I make are 8' along the rail.
