Hi all.

Forgive my ignorance on this one but....

Was just fooling with prototype of my awning.

I've discovered that an 8'x 10' tarp is too much for 1/2" EMT tube
frame and 1" pipe I'm putting in jack points. Plus i'm ending up with
10' long struts. Too long! I might do better with longer pieces in
jack points but....

Is an 8' x 6' awning even useful/practical?

I know that one manufacturer makes an 8' x 8' awning similar to what I'm trying:

I would like to use a "stock" tarp size if possible.

In terms of materials, I'm trying to make my awning an "off the shelf" setup.

Many thanks!

Neil.
