THE BEST DIY awning build! Thanks - Good Job!!! Out of all the YT vids I've searched, this design is perfect for my SUV. Love that it's sturdy in use, has built-in side rails, quick to set up and all-in-one storage for transport.

Much easier than the other builds I have seen! And nowhere near the expense of ARB or others. Fantastic! I was thinking of using bungie balls for the sides but I think you got it nailed with 3 simple bungies for wind.

Great design and cheap! If people are worried about windy weather you can use a caravan awning storm strap. Goes over the top and is pegged into the ground. There are springs at the end of the strap to allow it to flex and stay secure.

I applaud your simple, elegant, inexpensive and effective design. Wish I had thought of it :)

Randy Larkin thanks! Yes, adding sides would be super easy. I’ve though about it, just haven’t done it yet.

Very slick, I love this idea. You could even fish those little velcro straps (that you use to hold the poles together when closed) through the holes in the tarp to get it even more taught if you wanted .

@TrailBendersOverland

7 жыл бұрын

Good idea, I actually did try that, and with the velcro being mounted on the poles it would simply spin the velcro on the pole and wouldn't stay tight. I also tried that velcro a couple other ways and it wasn't strong enough to hold, would just need stronger velcro and a better way to mount it. But when I realized the bungees were easy and did a good job I just gave up on the velcro idea lol.

Really nice setup! Great video, thanks for sharing.
