Installing Awning on Fence

[Jetheat]

Is there a particular type of awning (just a straightforward slant shade) which can be fitted to a fence?

if not, what would be the best solution.

Thanks,

How about a canvas sail material using eyes and hooks to fence post tops and a couple of wood or metal poles to the other edge. Comes in bright colours too and easy to put up and store away.

No, dont want to tie the sail anywhere. Has to just overhand the fence and turf.

What about an old caravan awning - they roll into a 'tube' mounted on the caravan (or in this case fence) and you just put out 2 legs to support the front edge. otherwise you are looking at a rigid frame one - generally much heavier.

I plan to do something similar on the side of my shed when it eventually gets done, as an external paint spraying area for my RC Aircraft. the shed however is some time away, and funds dependant.

Yeah that sounds like a solution.

Any idea where I can get one?

Depends on size needed and budget!

my first suggestion would be any caravan shops nearby/local, alongside web based research, and check on ebay for any being sold off too. I would also suggest if you are happy with second hand freecycle and similar.

Finally try local scrap merchants! if they have old caravans or motorhomes being scrapped these may still be fitted and only need some legs/guys!
