need to make a cheep awning

[vega12]

hey there skoolies, i got a problem here. i cant seem to find an awning system that works for me. i just moved to the gulf coast in texas and the wind is tearing everything i have to shreds. anybody have any ideas? they want an arm and a leg for used junk around here so buying one off an old camper is out of the question. please help, the rain is comming, and i dont want my washer mach. to get wet. thanks....ps, any skoolies need a place to crash near galveston?

Check around your area for companies that make/sell tarps for semi-trailers, many times they will have fair-sized shards, remnants & rejects they'll sell ya cheap. Extremely durable (albeit heavy) material. I got a few when I used to work for Ravens (...a lifetime ago...), and they're holding up extremely well.
