Project Information
This was a badly needed project as I had one bedroom single window that has the uninvited morning sun beaming in.
Adjustable to different angles awning.
This was a quick project, I just worked the details in my head as to what I wanted and how I was going to build it. All together with hardware and materials cost was around $60.
I used all red cedar starting with 2 - 2"x4"x8' cedar boards, 14 - 6' cedar fence pickets sawed to 4.5" wide cut to 44" long, 2 - 5/16" x 5" lag screws, 4 - 5/16" x 4" hex Galvanized bolts with 5/16" nuts and washers.
I spaced each step 3" apart on a 45 degree angle using my tri square as the guide per cut. I first taped both side rails together and marked the lines to cut so they would be even across. I also taped them together when drilling the 5/16" adjusting holes so that they also would be even. Each slat is secured In Place with a 1 1/4" torque screw.
I used the lag screws on top to anchor the side rails to the support brace adding flat washers in between to allow for the henge (swing) and used the bolts for the supports to be removed for adjusting the awning.
Thanks for viewing.
