Awning Identification and Parts

My awning took a major wind gust and just annihilated the bracketing and joints. Most are broken or bent. How do you determine what brand, model, make of awning you have so you can then go online and look for replacement parts? Then second question is once I figure out what awning I do have where is the best online vendor/distributor/supplier to order needed parts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • But isn't a new awning like 5 or 6 thousand dollars? The fabric is fine ist the brackets that hold it on that are busted. Mike S. its not that kind. It's the kind that rolls out and then you push the end up and clamp it in place. I'll see if I can find a picture.
  • I have found that individual parts are hard to purchase. Most come as a unit and include parts that you may or may not need. In the end as stated, a new awning will probably be your most cost efficient replacement.
  • By the time you buy two new arms and fabric, your pretty much at the point of a new awning.

    I should have mentioned Downtheroad that cost is an issue. How much does a new awning cost?
