Diy Retractable Awning For Pergola

Deck and patio shade awning in retracted position.

Diy retractable awning for pergola.

When retracted this diy pergola canopy tucks neatly away at one end of the structure. With a retractable canopy the fabric is attached to support boards that slide along tensioned stainless steel cables called wire ropes. With a pencil make a line 3 4 from the center on both sides of each long top stitched seam. The framework mounts directly on the side of your house.

The result should be two lines 1 1 2 apart with the seam in the center. Outdoor fabric wire clothesline or aircraft cable but a roll of clothesline is cheaper screw eyes 1 for each corner of the canopy turnbuckles 1 2 the amount as screw eyes drapery rings with clips wire clamps. We carry an extensive selection of awning parts including awning motors controls sensors suncover components and universal awning parts. Diy retractable awnings offers custom made long lasting shading system that will provide years of trouble free solar protection.

Spread the fabric shade out on a flat surface one section at a time. Large eye screws do the sliding and make easy work of extending and retracting the canopy.
