Title: Awning Dude has an Awning Question
Post by: Mojo on April 17, 2013, 08:33:54 am
Typically I am answering awning questions but this time I have one myself.

Has anyone here ever made the frame for window awnings ? Currently the windows in the back of our house are covered with solar screens during summer months. The boss wants to replace them with awnings to let more light into the house.

Making the fabric portion is no problem but I have never done the frames ? has anyone here done the frames before ? Surely you marine people have done the frames for boats.

Last year I spent a bit of time researching awnings for the back of my house. I never got any farther than the research.
