Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure the size of my awning for a replacement canopy?
Replacement awning fabric works for almost all OEM awnings, but you need to make sure you order the correct size. To correctly measure for your replacement awning fabric, measure the distance from the center line of the left arm to the center line of the right arm. Round up so that the measurement is whole foot increments. The awning you are replacing will measure approximately 10″ less than the distance between the arms.
For example, if the measurement of the distance between center line of arms is 16 feet, then you will need to order a 16-foot awning fabric. For a 16-foot awning, the actual width of the fabric is between 15’1″ and 15’3″.
What is Sun-Wave fabric made of?
The canopy is made of 15 oz. tri-laminated durable vinyl. Both sides are colored. A white 16 oz. 1000 denier heavy-duty weather-guard is welded on the top to protect the canopy when the awning is rolled up.
Major brands use 13 oz vinyl for the canopy and 14 oz. vinyl for the weather-guard.
Which awnings do the fabrics fit?
Our fabrics fit all Carefree, Carter, and Dometic A&E roll-up type patio awnings.
The fabrics will not fit the awnings with metal wrap (for these awnings, when you roll them up, you can see that the awning fabric is wrapped by an aluminum cover) .
Our fabrics do not fit Faulkner awnings.
What if I don't know the awning brand?
To make sure our fabric fits your awning, you need to check your awning roller profile. If your awning roller has three grooves and the opening of each groove is 5/32″ or less, you can use our fabric.
The full extent of our awning replacement fabric is approximately 94-96″. Before purchasing replacement awning fabric, you need to make sure your awning arms have enough extension.
Do I need to buy anything extra before installing the awning fabric?
The replacement fabric (canopy and valance) is completely finished. There are 3 cords used for attachment with the fabric. The cord with the 1/4″ diameter will connect the canopy onto the trailer. The two cords with the 3/16″ diameter will secure the canopy and valance onto the awning roller. A Pull-Strap is included in the package.
Do you have instructions for replacing the awning?
We have included basic instructions on our website. Since structurally our awning fabric is 100% identical to the major brand’s fabric, you may use their product manual as a guide for installation. You can request installation instructions from the manufacturer of the awning or download a manual from their website.
