Product Information

Lastly, and most importantly, you’ll need a sewing kit along with a little bit of sewing ability. The cover gets sown to the gazebo; you may also want to seam up the end or maybe give it a personal touch.

As a side note: it’s completely ok to cheat! Hand stitching the seams around the edge of your covering can consume a lot of your time. So, if you got a sewing machine, you’re going to want to use it. If you’re going to use canvas, keep in mind that you have to make sure it’s pulled tight, or it could sag and look very sloppy. The fabric also requires a little more effort to keep clean than some of the others. Thankfully, making the cover isn’t a very complicated task if you know what you’re doing. Let’s go over how to do it, step by step. Prepare the Old Cover for Tracing The first step is just to prepare the old cover for tracing. Be warned that this will “damage” the old cover, so only start this process once you’re ready to go ahead with making the new one right away.

It might seem like a good idea to build you own garden sail. How hard can it be, it’s just a piece of fabric fastened with some ropes! That is true, but there are some things you need to consider. As well as alterations, awning repairs can be made to any panels, along with bespoke additions. For example, while Sue was working on our awning, Steve brought in a customer’s annexe for a curtain to be attached to the trademark Isabella ‘porthole’. You’ll need two measurements, one from the front of the gazebo and another from the side. Mark it out on the new material adding about two inches, and draw out the lines using anything with a straight edge.

The last thing you want is to permanently mark up your new cover before you even cut it!

If you don’t have the old covering, that’s no big deal. We can still get the measurements. Using the ladder and the tape measure, you can get the dimensions. It also means cleaning it now and then. For most fabrics, you can use a brush or broom, warm water, and soap or dish detergent. Make sure to remove the cover first. Lie it out in the sun on a clean surface and wash it there. Basically, you’re going to want your assistant to help you center the new cover on top and in the rough position you want it. Alternatively, you can work a lacing system into the design as you plan the new cover, then use leather or other cordage to lace it down tight. What Materials Are Best to Use First, you’ll need to make a one-inch hem at its edges to keep it from fraying. You should use a heavy, waterproof fabric and give the hem a double stitch for some added strength.It’s important also to add a few inches to the width and length to allow for folding a hem on each side. The first step was to book our awning onto the system and note what modifications were required. In our case, the awning is 1000cm, but our new Lunar Clubman caravan – despite being the same make and model as the old caravan – has an awning length of 1035cm. We had a choice: we could either have it extended to the next recognised size (1025cm), which might make it easier to sell at a later date,or have it made to the correct length of 1035cm.

This hem will prevent fraying over time. Step 2 – Mark the fabric Vinyl coverings are low maintenance and durable, so they’ll last some time without needing much attention. Vinyl will also keep out those harmful UV rays and keep you comfortable while you enjoy the day. While vinyl is an excellent material, it isn’t as pleasant to the touch. Vinyl is a hard, slightly abrasive material. First, you need material that can withstand the elements and protect you against both UV rays and rain. Unless you’re experienced with the needle, using a sewing machine is better. It will save you a great deal of time and lead to better results. conceivable to mount technical textiles of the Soltis® or Sunworker® type on a banner and a fortiori

After removing it from the gazebo, carefully cut all the stitching. This will allow it to be unfurled and laid flat. Otherwise, it will be near impossible to get accurate tracings from it and would be a big headache.
