After 2 days ive finally got the hardware of the awning basically done i hope to get the awning on tomorrow then some 383 green sprayed on it and then have some shade to sit under !View attachment 862972

Just sitting here looking...
Darn good thing that the door swings IN on your habitat.
Otherwise, I guess the awning would have been darn near impossible.
Can't wait to see it setup and then you gotta find yourself some gaudy LED lights to hang from the front edge...

You can make the awning go just about straight out from the rolled up position those white arms have sliding tracts that adjust it to how low you want it and it unpins at the bottom if you want to have the legs to go straight down with the roll all the way out and you pin the legs to the ground with rods and im going to use a piece of a camo tank drape to hang on the long side to defuse the low lying sun

So a sunny day finally came and i got the awning adjusted rite this time and squirted a little 383 on the uprights for now till i decide to paint or dye the fabric to green , So i took advantage of my new shade and this might be the new definition of REDNECK RIVERA !!!!! tIMG_2074.JPGIMG_2071.JPGIMG_2072.JPGIMG_2078.JPGIMG_2080.JPG

This is the lowest you can let the awning down and you still dont touch your head on the fabric when going up and down the stairs into the box but it will go straight out from the box for more shade when the sun is directly overhead !

Looks really nice! Up high enough and the idea of being able to hang some camo netting out front might be really useful too. Good work my man!

It has a valance grove left to slide what ever down the tube length . I need to drag the tank drape out and see whats left of it or just order some of the fake camo netting to use . I hate to waste the real stuff on a awning ! Now to figure out what to use to color the fabric o d green .

Used to be that NAPA sold fabric dye.
That is what you need so it doesn't rub off.
