Step 5Awning Rim Frame
The awning has to be tight or it will flap and wear out in a hurry, besides making a disturbing noise.
Here's a miniature version of the frame that goes around the edge of the awning.
The L-shaped threaded pieces at the corners let you tighten the edges of the awning.
They aren't welded to the pipes, they just insert into them and are held there by the tension of the awning. Each corner piece must point in a clockwise orientation as seen in the 2nd photo in order to fully tighten the awning.
The threaded push rods in the middle insert into the ends of the rafters.
The other long pipe rests against the top of the support hook above the shipping container.
Tightening the nuts on the threaded rods tightens the middle of the awning.
All the welds were done with the homemade AC stick welder.
