awning for rpod 177

pjmingus that looks great. I like the flap in the back to keep the sun or rain off of the rest of the space.
   Nothing better than being on the "rim".   Goose

We will get some pics together and post them, but for now.
The fabric (ripstop nylon)has a sewn-in doubled over tube that holds three pieces of Pex water tubing 3/8" dia. from The Home Depot, and can be folded for storage. The tubing has shock cord through with knots at each end. There is a flap on each end of the sewn in tube with Velcro closures, and a 1/8" nylon cording loop on each end to help with pulling it through the channel.
To keep it from sliding out of the channel, I made 2 1/2"dia x 1" long
aluminum rods and drilled and tapped it for a 10-32 x 1" thumb screw.
Slip it in the end and tighten.
The awning has Velcro sewn onto each side of the shade, so the side panel can go on either side. On the side panel there is also Velcro across the top and a tube sewn below that with the same flaps to hold the Pex tubing for stability. The side panel has loops sewn down each side edge about 18" apart to attach to the poles with ball bungie cords.
The two outside corners of the shade have 3 loops sewn in, one for the pole and two for guide ropes.
Here is the clever part (I think anyway). The poles are adjustable paint poles, the "nuts" to hold corner loops on the top of the poles are
made from paint roller handles cut off so the "nut" is about 4" long.
The openings of the channel need to be filed smooth and rounded so they don't snag the fabric.
Sets up in just a few mintues.

That looks great, the fabric is playful and fun.

Decided to create an awning as there doesn't seem to be a lot of commercial options.  Size is 10feet by 5feet.
Supported  by discarded collapsible tent pole.
