Diy Wood Awning Frame

Decide on a type and color of fabric.

Diy wood awning frame.

Cut the fabric to fit your frame. Decide how far you want your wood awning to stick out over the door and cut three pieces of 2x4 to that length. Nail the three boards to the side of the triangle with the plywood brace then raise the entire frame and secure it to the triangle on the house using temporary wooden braces to hold it up. The post will extend upward and past the inside of the frame of the 2x4s.

Attach the 2x4 gable frame to the side of the 4x4 post so that the frame is level and the post plumb in two directions. Common fabrics include canvas and vinyl. Align this plate just right so that the 4x4 posts line up with the inside of the 2x4 frame. Since the house has a wood frame exterior it was pretty easy to screw the a frames in place.

This blog describes awnings as a pair of sunglasses for your house but the biggest problem with giving you home a pair of shades is the cost. Awnings are a type of canopy that can be constructed by attaching to the wall of the house windows doors or as separate structures for the patio and deck. This part of the project was fairly simple too. Set an anchor bolt or plate in the wet concrete.

We fastened the a frame pieces together on the ground and then we installed them against the wall of the house. Most wood awnings stick out between three and five feet. Pull the fabric tight and nail it to the wood with short roofing nails. This will include measuring the length and width of the frame and hemming the fabric.

However as well as being endowed with a touch of verbal flair this writer is also a handy diyer and brings you the plan for building an awning for your house that.
