Re: [VAL] It's time for a curbside awnng.

Glyn - Sure, send me the pics. I am cogitating over the same dilemma 
with the awning.  I don't have any of the arms however and I realize 
that the older units can also be more authentically outfitted with the 
awning hemmed on one side with a rope inside that is then threaded into 
the "gutter" slide on the street side above the eyebrows. The outside 
of the awning has a grommet at each corner that is fastened to rope 
that is then anchored to the ground. A metal(?) pole into each grommet 
holds it all up. I would appreciate it if someone out there who has 
used this method would chime in and let us know if that's basically the 
way it's done and if so, how well it works. It sounds like a lot of 
time to get the whole thing set up. Is it? How long a piece from 
trailer wall to end of awning? stuff like that. Thanks.
