PLEASE READ FAQ'S ~ PLEASE READ FAQ'S ~ PLEASE READ

Thank you to everyone who has recently visited my page to see what is available here. In answer to a basic question, $150 for labor for an 8x8 and under of decorator fabric and $200 for awning fabric (harder to work with), approx. $30 for the basic supplies of the thread, Keder awning rail tape, binding, and stabilizing webbing, PLUS the cost of your choice of fabric, figure an average of 8 yards, some with a one directional pattern require more for the scalloped edge. (most fabrics average $9-12 a yard, some cheaper, some like Sunbrella MUCH more expensive.) I can do fringe if you want, it will be a bit extra because it costs quite a bit more than binding, $45.00/12yards to be precise, and takes longer in labor so add $25.00 there. Tax and shipping in a flat rate USPS box flat rated at $20.00 USD for a decorator fabric awning and approximately $35.00 for awning fabric, shipping and handling, some larger awnings will cost more to ship.

All of the products I use, the fabrics, the awning binding, the Keder welt, the thread, are UV rated. Most of the fabrics are 1500 hours UV rated and water proof, decorator fabrics run approx. 500 hours and are water resistant. The only items in direct sunlight I use that are not UV rated are the 2.5" fringe. I carry one pole by Kelty, an adjustable height pole to 8 foot, they sell for $40/pole.

Fabric.com is where I get my outdoor decorator fabric. You can head there and type in "outdoor" in the search field to see what is available. I can work with you on designing and customizing your awnings to fit your personality and your trailer's attitude. I work with Recasens USA, Recacril line, Tempotest USA, Dickson, and Sunbrella lines of fabric. They range in price from 15-23 dollars a yard.

You will wind up with a personally crafted customized for you awning.

Contact Tin Can Awnings. It was cheaper than the two others I got quoted and great quality. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tin-Can-Awnings/899528270086960

Kyle F. asked:

I have a 77 ramada and I want to add an awning to it. I have seen others here do that. Does anyone here know where I can go online to find that. I know some are taken from salvage but I would like to just buy it new and call it a day.

Kathy L. replied:
I have a friend who sews all types of custom awnings - primarily for vintage travel trailers. She will be making one for my Apache. Her workmanship is excellent & prices are fair: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tin-Can-Awnings/899528270086960?fref=ts&ref=br_tf

Wanda N. replied:
We have a 77, and our awning is a 77 Sears brand awning,I think someone who has vintage awning experience could make one that goes into the track already there, try the tin can awnings, that's where I'd go if needed one.
