It is time to pull out those vintage trailers and go camping.

Many new Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi will be setting up for the first time, since 25 vintage trailer awnings have already been mailed out just since January.

Need an awning for later in the year?

UPDATE For 2018: Be watching for my next load of Sunbrella Marine Grade Awning Fabric to arrive in November 2017. I will be receiving Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric in classic, traditional, timeless, vertical striped patterns, made from 100% solution dyed acrylic. Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric is 46" wide. I do not use 54" wide outdoor furniture upholstery fabric, for awnings. Here is a sneak peak at a few patterns I am considering.

When the fads fade away, as quickly as they came,  your Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi will still look the same.

When the fads fade away, with each passing day, a true vintage style will be here to stay.

When the fads fade away, because trends come and go, your  vintage striped awning will still steal the show.

Designed For Endurance

Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi uses fabric, thread and edge binding designed for endurance. Marine grade awning fabric can withstand the harshest environments, because every acrylic fiber has been solution dyed and treated to withstand moisture, UV rays, mildew, stains, rot, fading, tears, plus chemicals, and then woven into a strong fabric that is equally vibrant on both sides.


The awning thread has a strong tensile strength against breakage, resists abrasion, and is protected against fading and rotting from ultra violet rays.

Many shades of Sunbrella edge binding are available, made from the same acrylic fibers, and treated for moisture resistance and UV protection from fading and rot too.
 

With so many shades to chose from, some times it is hard to decide which one looks the nicest!

Marine grade awning fabrics have high UV rating, as a bonus, to protect you from the harmful effects of the sun as well.

I will be sorting through the awning fabric rolls, adding the pattern numbers and names,  plus the approximate size of trailer awning available from each pattern, then updating this post over the next few days.
