Vintage Trailer Awning Fabric Has Arrived

I recently purchased a load of Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric roll ends. Many of the fabric rolls, only have enough fabric for a small vintage trailer awning. So, if you have a small vintage camper, you are in luck. Or if you just want a little Weekender Awning, when you don't feel like putting up your big vintage trailer awning. Contact dfoster@bellsouth.net with your awning rail length.
Update:

Although I am saving the pictures of the original Sunbrella roll ends from years ago, I am updating with more information for 2022. A blog update in progress! Thought it might be fun to go down memory lane and see what the old Sunbrella patterns turned into. Of course I have supplemented some of the same classic patterns over the years too.

Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi has made many arched awnings over the years. The largest arched awning  that I make is 8' x 8'. The awning rail needs to be straight for an arched awning.

  I couldn't find pictures of some of these patterns made into vintage camper awnings. I can't even recall the pattern names, it was so long ago.

Gradually Updating My Vintage Trailer Awning Blog

The unexpected polar blast in Georgia, has given me a little extra time to update my Blog.
I was planning to start back to work this week, however with temperatures in the single digits my basement workshop feels like a refrigerator! I have rolls of marine grade awning fabric, that arrived just prior to my closing shop for the holidays, that are still wrapped in plastic. Be sure, when inquiring about an awning, to include the length of your awning rail and a color scheme. I will then be able to email updated pictures of patterns that are available. email me at dfoster@bellsouth.net .  My fabric selections are continually changing throughout the year. If you have a trailer with a very curved roof-line, email a picture and I will offer advice on how to measure the most level section of your awning rail for a vintage trailer awning. 


 

2022 Check out my eBay Vintage Trailer Awnings listed by eBay seller dlf1954
Updating this decade old Blog little by little, so stop by again.
