I'm really going to be beaming when I get those awnings covered. And,
we've decided to do sail shaped pieces over a back yard area like they
have on modern playgrounds. Not expensive, and soooooooooo easy to make.
Plus easy to take down and put up. And a fraction of the cost.

When you've got it done, you'll have to put some pictures on Flickr or
Photobucket or somewhere so we can all ooh, and ah and drool over your
creations. Some may even get inspired.

I was a steel erection contractor in Las Vegas for nine years. We did
hundreds of awnings, some on businesses and hotels that lasted fifteen
years. Some are still hanging today. We did lots of residential. And then
they came down with remodeling and not from use. Most of them were removed,
recovered, then remounted. Raven Mills Sunbrella all.

I did a personal awning 32' x 13'6" just recently. But I did it out of
Fabral metal because of the size and wind we get here. These window awnings
will be four feet wide to eight feet wide with a stickout long enough to
shade the inside from the sun. The sail wedges will be about 20' on the
sides, the hypotenuse longer.

Will surely put them on flickr.
