An awning or overhang is a secondary covering attached to the exterior wall of a building. It is typically composed of canvas woven of acrylic, cotton or polyester yarn, or vinyl laminated to polyester fabric that is stretched tightly over a light structure of aluminium, iron or steel, possibly wood or transparent material (used to cover solar thermal panels in the summer, but that must allow as much light as possible in the winter). The configuration of this structure is something of a truss, space frame or planar frame. Awnings are also often constructed of aluminium understucture with aluminium sheeting. These aluminium awnings are often used when a fabric awning is not a practical application where snow load as well as wind loads may be a factor.
The location of an awning on a building may be above a window, a door, or above the area along a sidewalk. With the addition of columns an awning becomes a canopy, which is able to extend further from a building, as in the case of an entrance to a hotel. Restaurants often use awnings broad enough to cover substantial outdoor area for outdoor dining, parties, or reception. In commercial buildings, an awning is often painted with information as to the name, business, and address, thus acting as a sign or billboard as well as providing shade, breaking strong winds, and protecting from rain or snow. In areas with wintry weather, most awnings do not have to be taken down at the end of the summer - they can remain retracted against the building all winter long, or be designed and built for those conditions.

DIY awning alternative to those cheap EZups you buy at the store. It's a little over-built and not the prettiest awning around but it's bomb proof and should last the life of the trailer. Yes I picked up my awning that got destroyed (we never leave trash when we go riding). I was worried the extra weight would make the trailer less stable but it seems to have no effect. It doesn't lean any more or feel heaver when moving it around by hand, so overall I'm happy with how it turned out.

http://www.sailrite.com/How-to-Make-a-Loose-Frame-Awning-Video Small Awnings are fabricated with a simple sleeve for the front bar (without a tie bar) and a similar small sleeve for the head rod. Tension is imparted to the face of the cover in this case by adjusting the pipe in the eye ends on the struts. Of course, simple loose frame awnings do not require any tensioning on the face since gravity does this work. Watch the video to see how one is made and then order the supplies from Sailrite.
Read my ARB Awning review at: http://www.nickcarverphotography.com/blog/camping-essentials-arb-2000-awning/ When it comes to great landscape photography, getting to the right location and staying comfortable can be as important as the lens you use.

I spent my life twenty years in the basin
My only friend was a man of much more
He lied with power in his weary eyes 'till day came
And all at once I knew his name
Giles of the river...comin' in to make my precious day
Giles of the river...comin' in to tell one tale and take
My breath away...and he's on his way
He took me down through good times late departed
And through the world as it was and will be
By bad self I watched you as you hung your head out my door
But you won't grieve me no more
