I have purchased several over the years and just recently ordered one from PPL of Houston. It is better quality, and they shipped o/n no frt charge. I do not work for PPL in any capacity. They are good people to deal with.
We have a carefree side sunblocker since 1996 in good condition. A Carefree sunscreen that attaches to awning roller since 2002. Best investment. Add to that patty o mat and it is the trifecta.
from Tweety's this spring - has worked great for us. It slides into the slot on the awning tube, and we also sewed strips of velcro to the top so that we could roll it up out of the way when we didn't need it. It can be rolled up into the awning if you need to put the awning up quickly for wind.
I don't know the brand off hand, would have to go out and look, but we bought a sunshade in Quartzsite. Its similar to the other brands, but a portion of the shade remains attached to the awning. You can buy the shade in various lengths depending on your awning length. One piece of the shade, with a zipper running the length of it slides into the awning rail and hangs down. When you want to use the shade, you attach the large portion of the shade to the part in the awning rail by zipping them together....very easy.
Since some awnings are taller than others, the piece that slides into the awning rail comes in several lengths so that you can easily reach up and zip the two together. I bought a 16' shade with an 12" drop. I think you can buy up to a 24" drop. The drop piece in the awning rolls up with the awning and never needs to be removed. We have a Carefree automatic awning and you don't even know the attached portion is there.
