Salty Dog, your setup looks like it would trap a lot of rain, no?

That's the cool thing about my somewhat more complicated design.

Like a "real" awning, you can angle one corner down so the rain can't pool up.

The PVC across the outer edge keeps the awning from flapping and lets you leave it deployed in most any weather, just like a "real" awning.
