Awning Deflappers

Thanks BarneyS! That is what I was looking for. I have used deflappers that I have bought for years but wanted to try these out to see if they would work better.

I use 2 of Camco's large deflappers. :)

I built some Years ago,but used the wrong type of Pipe! Too heavy and nearly impossible to grip the fabric!
Be sure not to use schedule 4 or whatever the a good PVC pipe is called in Your part of the World!

Simple to make ! 18 Inches of Light weight PVC Pipe .Run the pipe through a Table Saw to slit one side. Drill two holes part way in from both ends . Run a SS Eye Bolt with SS Washers and a SS Wing Nut through the Holes ! clamp down on the fabric and attach the eye bolts to the Awning Rafters with Bungee Cords!

I think there are two types of awning deflappers.



and awning "supports"




I suspect the second "deflapper" is what the OP is looking for. Sometimes, you don't want to BUY BUY BUY stuff. Sometimes, you prefer to build your own.

Pictures of these homemade De-flappers would be nice. :)

However, this thread may be the one you are trying to find.
