On the side of the awning that s going to go against the house install one key ring on each grommet.

Plan to use a standard awning width of between 24 and 36 inches. Repeat on the other end of the long wood pole. Step 2 cut two pieces of 1 inch pvc pipe to the length determined in step 1 with a pair of pvc cutters. You can make your own patio sunshade awning also known as sun sail and create a shady resort like feel in your back yard.

Adjust the fittings to make sure the canvas is taut. Dry fit the frame and slide the canvas over the top. Measure the length of the window or door where you want to install an awning. Use the appropriate length of wood which is the length of the window at least 4 inches and hold it at a right angle to a 24 inch piece of wood.

Use a wood screw drill to drill the pieces together in this position. This completes one side of your awning installation. Then hook one key ring on one of the hooks and then do the same for the second key ring with the other hook.
