Awning mod

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.

Good stuff!

It looks like the dog enjoys your creation.

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.

I found bolts that heads would slide thru the channel and put them in each tarp hole. I use a rod with L shape hook on end from my other trailers awning to pull thru channel if bolt heads snags. I had old adjustable tent poles that I use for other side and one pole in first hole away from trailer by the door for opening clearance. I use this if staying for less than a week. Otherwise I put up the dome if staying in one place for a week or more. The dome came with our trailer when I bought it used otherwise I probably would not buy one.

I ordered the tire cover came from Custom Tire Covers
