Awning fabric replacement
This is for an A&E awning
My awning fabric was shot. So I went to eBay and bought replacement fabric for $119. The package arrived fairly quickly and the fabric looks to be sturdy. Apparently it doesn't matter what the width is, ours is narrow at 13 feet but all the way up to 18 feet is the same price.
The instructions may as well be written in Sanskrit tho. No drawings and the instruction tell you to clamp the vice grips on the frabbit tube and so on.
So go to youtube and watch this:
Tutorial
There are three or four videos up on YT showing how to do it. I ended up watching two different ones which cleared up some of the mystery from the first video.
It tells you most of what you need to know. My awning was a little different tho and there is no hole to stick a screwdriver in on mine. Watch the video you'll figure that out.
Be absolutely certain to use a marker to mark every single piece of the awning hardware: Right side part , Left side part 3 and so on. Stick some tape on the part andf write on that if you don't want to mark up the hardware. We found out that the right and left side parts are not interchangeable and you will be working a very irritating puzzle if you have to figure it out later. The arms are different length on our Titanium which led to the parts confusion.
Also note which way: clockwise or counterclockwise that the spring unwinds.
Otherwise it goes fairly fast and isn't hard, You'll need quite a few tools to but the video lays them out for you. The eBay fabric is the same on both sides which means it doesn't matter which side ends upwards. Three people are really needed for parts of this.If you have everything you can probably do it in 2 hours.
