If nothing else, you make it clear why those awnings cost as much as they do. That was an impressive build.

[@BenMitro]

That's very, very good. Problem with us DIY'ers is you can't really afford to incrementally improve a design by making it two or five times, so starting off with a known working design is so useful. Thank you. The sewing...the sewing machine, the techniques...perhaps you can do a video on that? (Or is that the next Video?)

[@unionse7en]

also consider vinyl, even used billboards, their is a special glue/solvent for it that makes incredibly strong connections. Easier and stronger than sewing.

A very good smart statement about removing the galvanized coating before welding, the reason why I had a welding shop teacher who had to have his stomach replaced the actual stomach and they replaced it with a goat stomach because he had welded for 30 years on galvanized metal without a respirator or an oxygen mask and the fumes from the galvanization will destroy your stomach lining so please for the love of God be careful Tell your followers if they're going to follow your design make sure to get that galvanized coating off first.

Your obsession with these (and other accessories) is truly appreciated, as is the effort you put into documenting them and putting them up as open source. I’m going to have to get me a welder one of these days!

[@fantasticphil3863]

The Harbor Freight easy flux 125 is wicked, pretty cheap

[@seanclark8452]

The little stand off posts: Sew a circle of thin leather onto the awning where it touches, and on rub areas on the corners to prevent wear through. (boat bimini trick) Wind will wear through if it's used lots otherwise. Crutch/cane feet or folding chair feet are possible alternative sources for feet. Leather: I keep leather from leather furniture/purses etc being scrapped to use for little projects like this. It can be 'saddle stitched' (search term) by hand if you don't have a heavy duty sewing machine. Great build! Thanks for the video!

[@PatrickRemington]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I thought about adding a double layer of fabric where those posts are. I also have bits of grey vinyl I could use there.

[@bryanrussell6679]

A KZbin video that actually lives up to it's title. Awesome job on the awning!!!

[@PrestonGladd]

I personally know the owner of Kinsman hardware and I can assure you the price he charges is not so he can get rich, in fact, he has to work full-time at another job to keep the awning business viable. It is super expensive to build these in the United States especially at the level of quality he does it at. I can promise if he was able to build and sell these cheaper at the same level of quality he would do so in a heart beat. He is a really awesome person and in it for the passion, not the profit.

[@PatrickRemington]

No doubt an awesome product. Would love to meet him. Hopefully my video will give him some more exposure!

[@skyknight6467]

I love that you added in the metric measurements! I don't even use metric but I hate when I see people use metric but don't add standard and I'm sure people who use metric feel the same way on the other side.

[@donlyayrton]

metric is the standard :p

[@AaronHendu]

In the middle of building an offroad bicycle camper and this gives me some ideas. I am thinking something very similar, only using carbon fiber tube and pvc plastic board (I often just use cheap plastic cutting boards) in place of conduit and metal plate / sheet to save weight. It also only needs to be about 1/2 to 3/4 the size...9x9 I am thinking.

[@v02max75]

Hey Patrick! This is a perfect timing for me! I just bought a tent to do my version of your rooftop tent! I'm going to figure out how to incorporate an awning into it. Thanks for the upload!!

Ripstop by the roll sells outdoor, performance fabric target to DIYers. They sell long - length zippers. I ordered one that goes around the entire perimeter of my 11 foot hammock. I think about 25 feet. A long zipper like that and some extra remnant fabric, and you have a bag. I will be copying this build when I make my own awning. I like your first version, but I wanted one that was freestanding. V2 looks perfect. I was curious to see how the conduit held up during welding.

[@GreatChopps]

love this design, thank you for sharing. I have that same machine and if it get a little too much dust, lint, etc inside from sewing it jams, feeds weird and fights you. So hopefully the issue was it needed to be cleaned..

[@Sexsquatch]

Love your videos your clamshell roof top tent inspired me years ago and i built one myself. It's the project i built that i an most proud of

[@212caboose]

This is a fantastic build!! That little leak can be fixed with DIY seam sealer. You may even be able to come up with some kind of flap to cover up the hole around the joint (where water "leaks" onto your rear window)...

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! 🙏Got seam sealer on the way! Yeah, I was thinking it needed a flap of some sort maybe with magnets

[@jameshisself9324]

I agree it is fantastic! A flap to cover the hole would be complicated, since it would have to be big enough to keep water off the near side of the roof. Otherwise water will land on the roof and run down that same window, which is hardly any different from hitting it directly. In pouring rain it will probably be hardly noticeable, since the roof will be draining there as well.

[@stanb990]

Would using bolts with a rounded head like a carriage bolt minimize or eliminate the fabric catching at the hinge?

[@DB-yj3qc]

Great awning, I watched your first awning build and started building myself one. I ended up with my awning costing less than $100.°° delivered by end of the week I ordered it. I think it was due to tracking cookies from "Google" search and U-tube for my building awning parts. I was starting to order fabric for awning, when I got the offer E-marketing email. So now I guess I should move on to a 270 awning with all the aluminum I now have. 🤔 My Scamp T.T. could use a low cost but high quality awning. Thanks again for all your hard work and time on your projects and editing of videos then sharing it. Your projects (and others) are effecting the market over-pricing camping gear out of reach for budgets.

😉👍 I really like it! I might have to try and build me one... Thanks for sharing all the measurements, issues, trials, and headaches of fabricating, I know that's the hard part. So it'll make it a lot simpler for me to try to build one sometime by far. I might try to build your diy roof top tent as well. I've got a Chevy Avalanche, and I think I'll build a custom backrack with those both on top. I'm already planning on building myself a custom cargo basket for the roof. Thank you for showing in detail how to weld those washers onto the pipe as well... I'm working on another project... probably today, that I'm plan on doing the same thing. You probably just saved me a lot of headaches and bad welds. I also got a weld a nut inside of a pipe, so that will be fun, lol... 🙄

You can add some "seam tape" or "seam glue" to fix your seam leaking. Easy

Thank you! Me too! I've used it in a bunch of my projects

[@andrewb9595]

Amazing build! Very well done and I really appreciate the in-depth video. I'll definitely be making one of these after I build my teardrop camper. I think I'll try to add an additional flap of material over the bracket so it doesn't leak as much there. I also wonder if the arms could have been more of a triangular design (widest at the bracket) instead of rectangular to help prevent the arms from sagging a bit more and also help with water shed.

[@khelek100]

Awesome video and build! Love the detail and your use of CAD. It takes a bit of extra time but you can leave any zinc plated metal in a bin/glass/tub/bucket of white vinegar for (time varies between a day to days based on plating thickness) to strip the zinc off so you don't have to worry about zinc fume sickness. The sanding works on exposed surfaces but your still getting fumes from the plating on the areas you can not sand.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thanks for the tip! Yeah i make sure I can’t smell any fumes, whether it’s coated or not. I usually have a fan, pulling the fumes away from me.

[@pacceo]

awesome! love it. built the first awning to your specs 2 yrs ago and want to do a 270 like this. Always wondering how to take weight off altough it's not too bad at 42pound. i was wondering if the mounting needs the full stretch along the side of the vehicle or if it could be in two parts, the bracket holding the arms and one to just rest the ends for travelling? I have bought the Singer HD 6 months ago as I found the Brother FS20 to give up as the layers of fabric increase. altough I find it surprisingly strong I also fight with tension of lower thread a lot. only started sewing myself with the awning project 2 yrs ago and have no idea about general settings of the machine. what i figured is that sewing self adhesive stuff like velcro is a mess, the glue messes up both needle and thread while some velcro without glue can be challenging. let me know once u figure the issue!

This is great! I've been modeling up a simliar build. I just moved and am waiting for my tools to get here! Can't wait to get started on some more fun projects. How does the awning do with the tailgate open? I'd REALLY like to get a 270 functional with a tailgate that can go up/down easily. I was considering doing a dual position/lock mechanism where the first 180 locks and the last 90 lock seperately but not sure its a real issue yet.

[@Ender3D]

I did a similar thing years ago with a light weight tarp I made out of silNylon. I used a 50/50 mix. Was quite thick still, but brushed on just fine. Could probably get away with more mineral spirits to thin the silicone a bit more.
