Small Awnings are fabricated with a simple sleeve for the front bar (without a tie bar) and a similar small sleeve for the head rod. Tension is imparted to the face of the cover in this case by adjusting the pipe in the eye ends on the struts. Of course, simple loose frame awnings do not require any tensioning on the face since gravity does this work. Watch the video to see how one is made and then order the supplies from Sailrite.
