The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

I was jealous of everyone's awnings at TE. Thought I'd have a go at making one. I bought 6 x 1.5 metres, so I'll chop it in half and by the time it's all joined and hemmed it'll be the right size. I've got an eyelet tool and lots of spare tent poles and guy ropes. Nice indoor evening project.
Any tips welcome

 

Was about to embark on a similar project. You say the material is 1.5 m wide but invoice says 1m? Would you mind providing suppliers details….thanks

 

If you need to pee, pee outwards from the awning, not inwards

 

Sweet. I keep meaning to make one for ours in the same fabric as the poptop canvas but have yet to get round to it.
Stick some details up as you do it as I'm sure they'll be others interested (including me!).

Went for a ‘Shake Down’ run in it.
Goes Well.

 

Yes it confused me. The roll is 1.5m wide and is sold in 1m lumps. I bought 6 x 1m and yes it was continuous. They're on eBay but it's cheaper from their website. Here's the link:

Will do, Jim. I'll start a thread when I've got more to show. Made the gutter clamps today.

 

Small insects love sitting on yellow things.

 

I know, I have a yellow bus!

 

Thought i’d make it all shabby right from the off, so in 10yrs time it will look, well, shabby.
Most of this won’t really be seen nor likely ever need being done again.

You stick it up the parson's nose....

 

Don’t go to the Isle Of Wight,park on the highest part of a campsite and try and put the bloody thing up in the wind!

 

Bathtime!



Ready for a lick of paint...

 

Should get a bilge pump and use it to flush out the galleries with detergent/water too... I can remember with the engine block on the borrowed parts washer seeing bits of crud come poking out of the bearing oil feeds when I pressurised the oil system with washer solution.

 

Many years ago building a mates Beetle i used a squeezy bottle and neoprene pipe to flush out the galleries - bit of an eye opener to be honest....

All case plugs are out and everything got a good rodding with my cleaning brushes.
