Thanks for the mention. Here's a link to my DIY support poles. I have not added any straps yet, but as mentioned here it's relatively easy to do.

I do strongly recommend some kind of support, either DIY or from Carefree. Too many posts here about awning failures.

About an hour ago I posted to an old thread re restringing a shade. Don't know why it was in FreeLoaders area, so I'm posting it here. I used the United Shade kit for restringing today. Worked great. Comes with instructions but I watched the video step by step while I was restringing. You must take the valance and shade down unless Lance has gone to a release on the top rail. Our top rail was screwed into a wood cross piece that is part of the valance.
