Large eye screws do the sliding and make easy work of extending and retracting the canopy.
Diy retractable awning for pergola.
When retracted this diy pergola canopy tucks neatly away at one end of the structure.
With a retractable canopy the fabric is attached to support boards that slide along tensioned stainless steel cables called wire ropes.
Spread the fabric shade out on a flat surface one section at a time.
Fold long seam to long seam and crease the fold.
With a pencil make a line 3 4 from the center on both sides of each long top stitched seam.
Use a hand or motorized crank to retract the awning.
The result should be two lines 1 1 2 apart with the seam in the center.
The framework mounts directly on the side of your house.
Diy retractable awnings offers custom made long lasting shading system that will provide years of trouble free solar protection.
