Airstream Awning and 5 Clip-On Window Awnings In Progress

 Spring 2022: I am in the process of making a 15' x 8' Airstream Awning using Sunbrella Saxon Cascade.

Also in progress are five Airstream Clip-On window awnings for the push or crank out type of awning windows.

Measuring out my remaining fabric to see if I have enough left for 5 clip on window awnings for an Airstream dfoster@bellsouth.net
     


One clip-on window awning finished 4 to go dfoster@bellsouth.net

This is a typical crank out, or push out, type of awning window with squared corners and without rubber seals on the underside of the frame. I have made awnings for this type of window in the past.

Three matching side window awnings and larger ones for the front and back awning windows dfoster@bellsouth.net

This time, the windows had rounded corners and rubber seals were attached underneath the window frame. So I made a prototype to try out, before I made the other four clip on window awnings.

VW Bus Awnings by Kristi

 Recently in 2021 I finished several VW Bus awnings. I make my VW Bus awnings with pockets for shock poles.  When the shock poles are inserted into the pockets, they swing upward arching the awning. This provides extra height underneath and incline for rain run off.

VW Bus Arched Awning by Kristi For Sale

7 1/2' x 7 1/2' attaches to rain gutter with a variety of different types of connectors. Placed in the rain gutter, behind the cab door and extends toward end of the bus.

Pictures are other VW Bus Arched Awnings by Kristi.




Because Many VW Bus shows are set up on concrete or hard packed soil, the shock poles provide the tension for a taut awning. Weighted tie-down lines, to help prevent the wind from flipping the awning, are still recommended. dfoster@bellsouth.net
