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

Image of completed Vendor's Rack Awning with matching backdrop
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.

How Do You Set Up An Awning On Concrete?

A typical question I am frequently asked is, "How do you set up an arched awning on  concrete?" With so many folks using their vintage trailers for vending or on display in areas without grass, this has become a common question.


Here you can see how the weights help hold the adjustable height tent poles making it easier to set up an awning alone.
This picture shows how on concrete, the weights can keep the tent poles from sliding plus several stacked weights can be used to anchor the poles with a tie down line.
The low profile of the weights will also decrease the typical tripping hazard.
 Be creative and add greenery!
Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi answering your calls for help again, with a practical solution. How many of you have weights around the house, purchased with good intentions and now collecting dust? Some weights are rubber coated, which would be better, but I demonstrated with the ones I found in my own basement.

The weighted tie-down lines are just to keep the arched vendor's awning from being caught by the wind. Don't make the lines too tight or the shock poles won't be able to arch the awning up to their full potential.

Be creative:
Weighted suitcases, watering cans, flower pots, coolers, vintage oil cans are a few examples. Vendors should pick items that can be weighted, to reflect what they are selling.

Vendor's Awning On A Rolling Garment Rack

I am claiming this vendor's awning idea as my own invention on 10-02-2014. The prototype is pictured.
Today, I have been experimenting with one of my small arched awnings on a rolling garment rack. Since many of you are vendors for food, antiques, crafts, art, and jewelry, I thought this might be useful alone or in conjunction with your vintage trailer awning. When vending your wares at open air markets and craft shows, this rolling rack with an awning might be just what you need.

Easy on and easy off attachments to the Salesman Rolling Garment Rack
I decided to keep this Vendor's Awning with matching Backdrop for myself!

Back Entry Awning on a Unique Vintage Trailer

This customer had already designed his own window awning frameworks, so he just send me pictures of the set up with measurements. He also wanted an arched awning for the back  entry to his trailer. Yesterday, I finished a matching Rock Guard Awning to complete the project.
