"Chalk-Aided Design", you ARE one of those funny youtubers. Good job buddy!
😂😂 I'm trying! Thanks man
A proper comedian lowers your expectations before hand
@@richeyrich2203shhhh don’t tell all the tricks
A very good smart statement about removing the galvanized coating before welding, the reason why I had a welding shop teacher who had to have his stomach replaced the actual stomach and they replaced it with a goat stomach because he had welded for 30 years on galvanized metal without a respirator or an oxygen mask and the fumes from the galvanization will destroy your stomach lining so please for the love of God be careful Tell your followers if they're going to follow your design make sure to get that galvanized coating off first.
I laughed way too hard at that 😂
Hands down you have the best "Click Bait" I have ever seen
I am proud of you....
Your Title is:
BEST DIY Awning ... *Do Not Attempt
of course I have to "CLICK" on this video to see WHY I should not do it...
Bravo Darling... Bravo
😂😂😂
Haha, I WASN’T going to click on it, even though I’m a subscriber 😂
@@s-c..
HAHAHA...
I personally know the owner of Kinsman hardware and I can assure you the price he charges is not so he can get rich, in fact, he has to work full-time at another job to keep the awning business viable. It is super expensive to build these in the United States especially at the level of quality he does it at. I can promise if he was able to build and sell these cheaper at the same level of quality he would do so in a heart beat. He is a really awesome person and in it for the passion, not the profit.
No doubt an awesome product. Would love to meet him. Hopefully my video will give him some more exposure!
If nothing else, you make it clear why those awnings cost as much as they do. That was an impressive build.
That's very, very good. Problem with us DIY'ers is you can't really afford to incrementally improve a design by making it two or five times, so starting off with a known working design is so useful. Thank you.
The sewing...the sewing machine, the techniques...perhaps you can do a video on that? (Or is that the next Video?)
also consider vinyl, even used billboards, their is a special glue/solvent for it that makes incredibly strong connections. Easier and stronger than sewing.
A TH-cam video that actually lives up to it's title. Awesome job on the awning!!!
Your obsession with these (and other accessories) is truly appreciated, as is the effort you put into documenting them and putting them up as open source. I’m going to have to get me a welder one of these days!
The Harbor Freight easy flux 125 is wicked, pretty cheap
The little stand off posts: Sew a circle of thin leather onto the awning where it touches, and on rub areas on the corners to prevent wear through. (boat bimini trick) Wind will wear through if it's used lots otherwise. Crutch/cane feet or folding chair feet are possible alternative sources for feet. Leather: I keep leather from leather furniture/purses etc being scrapped to use for little projects like this. It can be 'saddle stitched' (search term) by hand if you don't have a heavy duty sewing machine.
Great build! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I thought about adding a double layer of fabric where those posts are. I also have bits of grey vinyl I could use there.
Don't sew them, just use Barge cement. @@PatrickRemington
Procrastinating paid off big time for me. I was going to copy your last awning build but haven't had time to do it. Glad I waited because now I want this one instead lol.
😂😂 Nice!
I love that you added in the metric measurements! I don't even use metric but I hate when I see people use metric but don't add standard and I'm sure people who use metric feel the same way on the other side.
metric is the standard :p
I’m blown away that you don’t have 10x more subscribers. Can’t wait for the next video.
Thanks man!
In the middle of building an offroad bicycle camper and this gives me some ideas. I am thinking something very similar, only using carbon fiber tube and pvc plastic board (I often just use cheap plastic cutting boards) in place of conduit and metal plate / sheet to save weight. It also only needs to be about 1/2 to 3/4 the size...9x9 I am thinking.
Hey Patrick! This is a perfect timing for me! I just bought a tent to do my version of your rooftop tent! I'm going to figure out how to incorporate an awning into it. Thanks for the upload!!
Good stuff. Will definitely be referring to this when the time comes for me to build my awning. Definitely interested in seeing a video about the fabric and building the cover.
Wow! Great job -- Thanks for making this and sharing it with us.
Yeah, you need the tools and equipment, by it definitely saves a lot of money -- and is custom made!
This is awesome. Looks great and seems strong.
I’m impressed! Good job man.👍
Great job mate. I love that you can take an idea and create a diy version. It's a lot lighter than the one I built for my trailer.
Thank you Thank you!!
Ripstop by the roll sells outdoor, performance fabric target to DIYers. They sell long - length zippers. I ordered one that goes around the entire perimeter of my 11 foot hammock. I think about 25 feet. A long zipper like that and some extra remnant fabric, and you have a bag.
I will be copying this build when I make my own awning. I like your first version, but I wanted one that was freestanding. V2 looks perfect. I was curious to see how the conduit held up during welding.
This is one of the best diy tutorials I’ve seen. Also those ‘markings’ made me feel something
Amazing work, man. Keep it up!
Thank you!
I'm about to build the ladder for my 4runner. I watched your video like 10 times and went to see if you had any new vids up and hell yeah this is awesome, thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you!! You are welcome! Glad to help! 🙏🙏
Great job mate,cool build!
Great job looks amazing 😊
What a clever man you are! Fantastic build 👌🏻👏🏻
Great video. This is all I can think about now, I have begun pricing it out and will begin here any day. Thank you
Awesome build. Also, I caught the bucket in the background... Hail State!
Love your videos your clamshell roof top tent inspired me years ago and i built one myself. It's the project i built that i an most proud of
Great Work! Thanks for putting this vid together and for the inspiration.
Thank you!
love it man .. thanks for sharing ~!
Thank you for the great build I definitely want to build one myself
love this design, thank you for sharing. I have that same machine and if it get a little too much dust, lint, etc inside from sewing it jams, feeds weird and fights you. So hopefully the issue was it needed to be cleaned..
Congratulations: this is THE FIRST 20+ min video i watched from beginning to end. Super tempted to make something like this for my crappy little honda civic lol
Great build!
Add this to my list of projects to build!
EXCELENTE !! Gracias por tu tiempo. Por una explicación prolija y dedicada. Desde Argentina gracias por tu tiempo. Juan Carlos
absolutely brilliant 🤩🤩
This is freaking Awesome! Great Job!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
Best video title on TH-cam!
Great awning, I watched your first awning build and started building myself one. I ended up with my awning costing less than $100.°° delivered by end of the week I ordered it. I think it was due to tracking cookies from "Google" search and U-tube for my building awning parts. I was starting to order fabric for awning, when I got the offer E-marketing email. So now I guess I should move on to a 270 awning with all the aluminum I now have. 🤔 My Scamp T.T. could use a low cost but high quality awning.
Thanks again for all your hard work and time on your projects and editing of videos then sharing it. Your projects (and others) are effecting the market over-pricing camping gear out of reach for budgets.
This is fantastic. Adding this to my to-do list for July/August
Do it!
@@PatrickRemington is it the same bracket that you had for offer the last time? I bought that design, but haven't built it yet. If not are you going to offer it for sale again?
Looks great
I think I might even be able to do this one. Thanks!👍
This was awesome 👏
Great, great work!
Im looking to do this sort of project for a pickup truck. Place a ladder rack for attachment points. Thank you for the thought starters...
It's amazing the stuff you come up with!
Thank you!
Brilliant work mate. The effort to produce these projects and especially video them is impressive. I swear 24/7 on my projects, don’t know how you manage to stay so upbeat 😅👍
Thank you so much! Yeah I have to edit that part out for TH-cam but trust me I'm right there with you! 😂😂
@@PatrickRemington 😂👍
Very nice and informative, I guess I’ll just buy one.
Now take this concept and make it encircle the entire vehicle and you could make a mint on protecting cars from hail storms.
I built your last awning and loving it
Thank you
Glad to hear it!!
awesome invention
i love your effort
Bro!!! I’ve been here since before your first model. I’m so glad your upgrading, this is so dope!
Thanks man!!
Thats pretty good!
That's badass my guy. Worthy of a sub and like. 👍
Damn.... now I have to build anothe one of your creations! Salute from Brazil!
Love it. Been waiting to make mine for a while and this gives me the push to get it done! I had planned on making OverlandUnderBudget's awning but going to go this way now. I do love me some EMT
You can add some "seam tape" or "seam glue" to fix your seam leaking. Easy
Thank you! Me too! I've used it in a bunch of my projects
Awesome build. I'd love to replicate it as soon as I can. 👍
One vid and I’m already hooked
Agreed 👍🏽
This is a fantastic build!! That little leak can be fixed with DIY seam sealer. You may even be able to come up with some kind of flap to cover up the hole around the joint (where water "leaks" onto your rear window)...
Thank you! 🙏Got seam sealer on the way! Yeah, I was thinking it needed a flap of some sort maybe with magnets
I agree it is fantastic! A flap to cover the hole would be complicated, since it would have to be big enough to keep water off the near side of the roof. Otherwise water will land on the roof and run down that same window, which is hardly any different from hitting it directly. In pouring rain it will probably be hardly noticeable, since the roof will be draining there as well.
Would using bolts with a rounded head like a carriage bolt minimize or eliminate the fabric catching at the hinge?
Enjoyed your creative ideas and diys. Cool 😎
Thank you!🙏
Very slick.
This is such a good design
Thank you!
sharing the measurement in mm was key men ! you did what the others doesn't do! awesome! thank you
Did it for you, man! 🤙🤙
what an impressive job!!! but mostly tks to think to peoples who don't use inch system really appreciated :)
What a fantastic job!
Thank you!
Omg. I want that for my backyard sliding door
Thank you this awesome step by step video. And for the measurements in millimeters 😊
You are welcome!
Hi Patrick, I've been enjoying your video's . As a member of one of South Africa's biggest churches ,these awnings would make our lives very easy considerin the temperature of Limpopo province. However as usual prices might be a serious obstacle due to the exchange rate between the dollar and the rand.❤❤❤
Great Build. Second time I stumbled on your channel. I will subscribe now.
Fair play. Well impressed. 👍
Thank you!
cool build-you did an awesome job
Thank you!! You might enjoy some of my other videos if you like this one
Awesome video and build! Love the detail and your use of CAD. It takes a bit of extra time but you can leave any zinc plated metal in a bin/glass/tub/bucket of white vinegar for (time varies between a day to days based on plating thickness) to strip the zinc off so you don't have to worry about zinc fume sickness. The sanding works on exposed surfaces but your still getting fumes from the plating on the areas you can not sand.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah i make sure I can’t smell any fumes, whether it’s coated or not. I usually have a fan, pulling the fumes away from me.
Super slick, after you painted it, it looked big box manufactured
Thank you! That's the goal with all my builds!
😉👍 I really like it! I might have to try and build me one... Thanks for sharing all the measurements, issues, trials, and headaches of fabricating, I know that's the hard part. So it'll make it a lot simpler for me to try to build one sometime by far. I might try to build your diy roof top tent as well. I've got a Chevy Avalanche, and I think I'll build a custom backrack with those both on top. I'm already planning on building myself a custom cargo basket for the roof. Thank you for showing in detail how to weld those washers onto the pipe as well... I'm working on another project... probably today, that I'm plan on doing the same thing. You probably just saved me a lot of headaches and bad welds. I also got a weld a nut inside of a pipe, so that will be fun, lol... 🙄
Very good job 👍.
Bisous de France.
would love to see how this holds up in areas that are prone to more wind
Brilliant mate.
Thank you!
Excellent work and commitment! I’m considering making something without the frame, only a 270 tarp with 3 body attachment points and the outer fabric corners supported on telescopic poles and held with guy ropes to tension.
Be sure to watch my other 270 awning build if you haven't already
Amazing build! Very well done and I really appreciate the in-depth video.
I'll definitely be making one of these after I build my teardrop camper.
I think I'll try to add an additional flap of material over the bracket so it doesn't leak as much there. I also wonder if the arms could have been more of a triangular design (widest at the bracket) instead of rectangular to help prevent the arms from sagging a bit more and also help with water shed.
when trying to mark through a tube get a big nail and use it like a punch. It's easier to see than a light pencil mark
dude when you pulled it out i was AMAZED. and that's what she said.
I love whipping it out. It's my favorite. 🤣
Very cool
Great work mate 👍
What a cool channel,thanks for your effort 👌 💪 I like it alot!
Thanks!
Smart young man. Now for you to build mine!😎❤️💥
C.halk A.ided D.esign - you said u werent funny buddy! 😆😄
Very cool. I have mixed mineral spirits with silicone and rolled that on to similar fabric to water proof it. Worked great.
Thanks for the tip! How much of each do you mix?
I did a similar thing years ago with a light weight tarp I made out of silNylon. I used a 50/50 mix. Was quite thick still, but brushed on just fine.
Could probably get away with more mineral spirits to thin the silicone a bit more.
Fucking wild... I just watched your 270 degree awning video last night. First time I came across your channel. Now just a few hours later you posted a new one. How random is that 😂
same shit happened to me. went to rewatch his ladder video as I'm about to build one then checked to see if he had any new vids and there was this one 😂
Nice! Yeah that other video is popping off again for some reason. I’m getting tons of comments on it lately. I figured it was a good time to get this one out. 🍻
@@PatrickRemington Perfect timing indeed 👌🏼
Clean job.,
Thank you!
Now you need a small cable drive and a button... easy release for when it's raining... ;) Nice build!
"I'm not one of those really funny TH-camrs..." That's actually a good start! 🤣
Just watching your video now.
As I said before you are a great inspiration and builder.
You did a amazing job and I will definitely be looking forward to building this for my truck when I get the roof rack figured out.
You did amazing work.
Thanks for sharing
One suggestion for the seam were was leaking little bit.
Beeswax
Thank you for saying that! I really appreciate it. It’s comments like this that fuel me to keep sharing my work. 🍻
Wow! Nice make. Always wished I had taken a welding class!
Hey I learned right here on TH-cam. Never too late
Awesome build. I made an awning for my 3rd gen but not a 270 like you did. I don't think you need the full 3/4 square tubing frame, seems like you can reduce the weight a little but might not be the worth the weight savings.
That’s impressive 👏
Thank you! 🙏
Great video.
Thank you!
Hello , thanks for this excellent sharing very interesting vidéo see you later big big likes
"I'm not one of those funny TH-camrs" proceeds to say Chalk Aided Design without skipping a beat. Fantastic build!
