awning accesories
Has anyone has one of those awning shades? I seen them on amazon for around forty dollars...are they worth it to help block the weather. Just want someone else input..:)

No, I don't have a pic, Loulou. Sorry and it's packed away for at least the next month. Maybe I can describe it in pretty good detail.
The sunshade that I purchased was in the lawn and garden department at Walmart and it was 6' wide and 15' long. I also purchased the grommets in the craft department at WM, too.
I laid the material out and began at one corner, turning the material down about 1 1/2" for a hem. Do both sides at this corner and place one grommet right at the corner. Then, I placed grommets about every 12 - 15" along the top, then down the side, across the bottom and then back up the remaining side. Make sure you space them so there is a grommet within 1-2" of each corner. FINISHED!!
When putting the shade up, I already have lights hanging from S hooks on the awning. Starting at one end, I put the grommet through the S hook making sure the lights are on the inside (in case we leave it up overnight). Continue until the end. Once finished with the top, put ball bungees through the grommet at the bottom corner and pull taut and out. Hook to a tent stake that has been driven into the ground.
I hope this is a good explanation.
