.After 2 days ive finally got the hardware of the awning basically done i hope to get the awning on tomorrow then some 383 green sprayed on it and then have some shade to sit under !View attachment 862972
You can make the awning go just about straight out from the rolled up position those white arms have sliding tracts that adjust it to how low you want it and it unpins at the bottom if you want to have the legs to go straight down with the roll all the way out and you pin the legs to the ground with rods and im going to use a piece of a camo tank drape to hang on the long side to defuse the low lying sun.
Just sitting here looking...
Darn good thing that the door swings IN on your habitat.
Otherwise, I guess the awning would have been darn near impossible.
Can't wait to see it setup and then you gotta find yourself some gaudy LED lights to hang from the front edge...
Thank you ! and most days i do good to get in out of the rain ! lol but i only gave 50 bucks for the awning framework and got the material for free and it was brand new when i got it so maybe 70 bucks when its all done .Amazing...simply amazing!
Ive got a big tank camo drape thats been wideld on i might use for the part that hangs down might look cool !wonder if you could swap the awning material for camo netting??
Love the additionIve got a big tank camo drape thats been wideld on i might use for the part that hangs down might look cool !
.So a sunny day finally came and i got the awning adjusted rite this time and squirted a little 383 on the uprights for now till i decide to paint or dye the fabric to green , So i took advantage of my new shade and this might be the new definition of REDNECK RIVERA !!!!! tView attachment 863664View attachment 863665View attachment 863666View attachment 863667View attachment 863668
It has a valance grove left to slide what ever down the tube length . I need to drag the tank drape out and see whats left of it or just order some of the fake camo netting to use . I hate to waste the real stuff on a awning ! Now to figure out what to use to color the fabric o d green ..
Looks really nice! Up high enough and the idea of being able to hang some camo netting out front might be really useful too. Good work my man!

I painted my floor hump cover with it. It looks good….. not sure how it will wear over time..
Used to be that NAPA sold fabric dye.
That is what you need so it doesn't rub off.
Was it a close match to the od green ? Do you know what the name was/color any details?I painted my floor hump cover with it. It looks good….. not sure how it will wear over time.

I did not use OD green. I used grey. I wrote it up somewhere I think.Was it a close match to the od green ? Do you know what the name was/color any details?
