Look Impressive

Have you ever decked out your trailer with an awning, expecting to be the Belle of the ball, only to discover that there were other attendees at the event in the same ball gown?
I try to prevent this from happening, by ordering my marine grade awning fabric from several different major brands. I have been mixing it up with patterns from Outdura, Sattler, Dickson and Sunbrella.
However, for those insisting on the most basic striped patterns, you are bound to end up in the company of many Look-A-Likes.
I make a special effort to select unusual patterns and colors, so that your awning won't be ordinary, but rather extraordinary!

The Perfect Awning Color Can Be An Expression Of Your Artistry

Did you know an artist uses contrasting colors to provide emphasis? Maybe instead of trying to match your trailer color, a contrasting awning color would be more impressive. To intensify the visual affect, you may need to express your inner artistry.

My Summer 2014 Shipment of Awning Fabric

Awning fabric patterns that are now available for late Spring and early Summer 2014 awning orders. Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi has had a very busy Spring awning making season, so I decided to reorder some of my most popular awning fabric patterns, to supplement my existing awning fabric inventory. If you were disappointed before, because I sold out of the awning fabric pattern that you were interested in, chances are it is included in my new marine grade awning fabric order.

Bits and Pieces of Awning Fabric and Coordinating Fringe

I have been trying to find time to go through my marine grade awning fabric inventory. Some of the fabric I have left over has coordinating fringe. Remnants from larger bolts of fabric is what remains, so just inquire with your awning rail length. Enough fabric and fringe to make small to medium sized awnings is what I have pictured. I will continue to measure out the fringe and marine grade awning fabric that coordinates and update with more pictures.
2016 Update: I am now going through the 2015 inventory.
I have also made quite a few inventory awnings, which are for sale. Inquire with awning rail length at dfoster@bellsouth.net

Set Up A Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi To Enjoy

Have you been day dreaming of April showers and springtime flowers? Spring 2015 camping season is creeping up on us. So if you have also been dreaming of owning a Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi, it is time to turn your dream into a reality. Increase your living space by adding a vintage trailer awning, so you can enjoy camping even when it is raining. When the temperature starts to warm up, an awning reduces the heat inside the trailer and protects curtains and upholstery from fading. Under a Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi there is protection from harmful UV radiation, plus the marine grade awning fabric is breathable for comfortable airflow. Do you have springtime camping rallies on your schedule to attend? Wouldn't it be nice to have a vintage trailer awning to set up and enjoy?

Email me some pictures of your Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi when you are all set up camping.

Be Sure To Comparison Shop, Not Just Price Shop.

Don't be shy about requesting an awning estimate from Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi. It only takes a minute to inquire, and you will receive a quick reply. Price shopping is a necessary part of the process. See if an awning purchase is affordable for you now, or if you need to continue saving up for a while. There is no need to select a fabric, from my inventory, for this initial inquiry. My marine grade awning fabric pattern selections are constantly changing, so wait until you are ready to order an awning, and then see what fabric patterns are available.
An awning purchase is a big decision, and vintage trailer awnings are not all made the same, so be sure to comparison shop, not just price shop.
Please note: 54" Outdoor fabric is upholstery fabric intended for outdoor furniture cushions and pillows, not awnings. Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi uses marine grade awning fabric only.

Inquire at dfoster@bellsouth.net for an awning estimate.

These are the current patterns available as of April 2015:
