Nice job. My mods details the awning I just finished. Mine used a rope sewn into one side of the fabric. That slides into the rail. i used the same method with a smaller rope for the slide-out cover I made. What kind of tarp material did you use?

Edit: I just saw the answer in your post that was not there when I started typing. Smile

"Nice awning. How do you have the tarp connected to the RPod?" There are some close-up pictures at the bottom of this post showing the rope sewn in to the tarp and then ran thru the rail

Nice awning. How do you have the tarp connected to the RPod? I have just begun to make my own from a 9 foot flexible tent pole on the RDome connector part. The tent pole will go through a sleeve on the tarp and then thread through the "C" holder along the edge of the pod. Will post pictures from this weekend if it actually works for me

We went to the Pod in the Pines Event at Burney Falls State Park last weekend and so I finally got to try out the third pole I added to my awning and it made a big difference. I had seen a picture that someone had posted with their awing with 3 poles. I had to mess around with the pole heights because it was raining off and on the whole time we were there. If the center pole is all the way up and the outer poles were at their lowest point the rain would run off and I had no pooling water.
