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.

[@mjsvitek]

I laughed way too hard at that 😂

[@blacksquirrel4008]

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

[@youbreakityoufixit9594]

Procrastinating paid off big time for me. I was going to copy your last awning build but haven't had time to do it. Glad I waited because now I want this one instead lol.

[@PatrickRemington]

😂😂 Nice!

[@Bennyboy-dog]

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.

[@Joespower]

​@@unionse7enThat's an interesting idea. How would that hold up to the elements. Obviously waterproof, but how long would it take for the sum to break it down I wonder. Also hest transfer. I wonder if a vynil would be like walking under an oven.

[@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!

[@bryanrussell6679]

[@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.

[@OldWhitebelly]

Don't sew them, just use Barge cement. @@PatrickRemington

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!

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

[@MikeAG333]

The USA, Myanmar, and Liberia are the only places on earth where imperial measurements are used. There is no good reason why the vast majority of the planet should pander to the outliers, so hate all you like, but it isn't going to happen.

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.

[@Brandon-p3n3k]

Awesome build. Also, I caught the bucket in the background... Hail State!

Thank you!

[@TK8286]

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.

[@adk_702]

Awesome build. Next time if you make the bracket corner to corner you can get a nice fillet weld on the outside.

[@prozacgod]

Now you need a small cable drive and a button... easy release for when it's raining... ;) Nice build!

BROOOOO - KILLED IT -GENIUS - GANE CHANGER💪🏼💪🏼

[@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?

[@xLopez210x]

Bro!!! I’ve been here since before your first model. I’m so glad your upgrading, this is so dope!

@@PatrickRemington is it the same bracket that you had for offer the last time? I bought that design, but haven't built it yet. If not are you going to offer it for sale again?

[@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.

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..

[@TelstarTAK]

Excellent work and commitment! I’m considering making something without the frame, only a 270 tarp with 3 body attachment points and the outer fabric corners supported on telescopic poles and held with guy ropes to tension.

Thank you this awesome step by step video. And for the measurements in millimeters 😊

[@PatrickRemington]

You are welcome!

[@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.

[@jonathan_mcc]

would love to see how this holds up in areas that are prone to more wind

[@MikeAG333]

I suggest sewing a reinforcement patch onto the underside of your tarp at the points where the props fold up to create a peak. Otherwise your fabric will be worn and damaged in quite a short time. You can also sew a loose (ie not taut) piece over the hinge/ bracket point to keep that dry. Some seam sealant will deal with the seam leaks.

[@superfreakentx]

You could add a piece of doubled fabric to the top of your bracket that overhangs to stop the water from coming in where the bracket tube all meet!

[@pobo6113]

I’m impressed! Good job man.👍

[@toejamr1]

For longevity you can add oil impregnated bronze washers in between the triple stacked arm. That way you’ll never really have to think about it

[@gertv6777]

Thank you for the great build I definitely want to build one myself

[@sn0wchyld]

hey mate, nice work, love the fold design... might just copy it :D one thought - 17:40 - you have holes there, you can just bolt the 2 plates together then you dont need to worry about tacking it back up as you cut bits off..

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! I tacked it together to drill the holes through both plates at the same time they way o know they are perfectly lined up then I cut out the shape.

[@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.

[@johnstockdale4002]

Just watching your video now. As I said before you are a great inspiration and builder.

Hi Patrick, I've been enjoying your video's . As a member of one of South Africa's biggest churches ,these awnings would make our lives very easy considerin the temperature of Limpopo province. However as usual prices might be a serious obstacle due to the exchange rate between the dollar and the rand.❤❤❤

BEST DIY CHANNEL ON KZbin!!! I love your builds. I wish I had the welder to make this stuff. I used your last diy awning as a guide for a PVC/tarp awning. It came out alright already planning a 2.0. definitely looking forward to the fabric video. Have you made a bag out of the extra material? I would love diy bag build.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thank you! Glad to hear you are wanting to improve your build! That’s what this channel is all about. I would highly recommend getting your hands on a welder. YesWelder is my favorite brand of welder very affordable but Get one used. A bunch of my tools are second hand and work great. I did build a cover in my first awning video. May revisit that project at some point!

Patrick, GREAT engineering! I love that you did the sewing too, the females in my family all so, it scares me, I’d rather weld a gas tank with icy acetylene. Never mind that. I have a question about the arms, I’m sure they sag a bit even under their own weight when the ends are welded at 90°. What if the ends that are bolted to the bracket are welded at 92°? Or 94°? Is there anyway you can measure the angle of deflection so that the slope of the tarp isn’t excessive? Great work! BTW, what App do you use to edit your videos? Thank you!

Great job man! I'd love to make one for my vehicle here in Thailand but I would be on a treasure hunt looking for all these parts. Another thing is that the tools are poor quality and if you break it you cannot not return it. We have homepro "like" small version of lowe's but way less. By the time I found every part needed and the tools to make it, I would have spent well over $1000 US to complete this task. With all the seams leaking, try using Seam Tape and or paraffin wax of some sort. There is also a spray you can buy that is specifically for waterproofing tarps, tents etc. Take care

[@dini1046]
