http://Ok, I admit, dangerous ideas always happen when I sit idle waiting for the Super Bowel to start. Ok, the beer might not help either. But here is what I have. Few years back I was thrift shopping and ran across a store that collected fabric remnants from fabric stores thst they had left over snd the sell them st a ridiculous price reduction. So I got some really cool sumbrells fabric at near nothing cost. 30 bucks for all the fabric. It really came out looking pretty cool. I have full length awning on both sides of the camper.
Gives great shade but in a rain storm it dosn't keep the rain out. So what I was thinking to do is cost it with a clear acrylic or ruberized paint to water proof it and if all posdible improve the tensil strength of the fabric becouse now when the fabric gets wet, it stretches a little amd allows water to puddle up which as you imagine gets worse and worse as it rains till I take a broom to push the water off. Anyhow, was hoping there was something I could use before I go buy a awning fabric replacement for both awnings.
