Diy Retractable Awning Pergola

Next measure the distance of the screw eyes from one to the other on your pergola and then place the drapery hooks at those measurements.

Diy retractable awning pergola.

Cut your fabric to size. Large eye screws do the sliding and make easy work of extending and retracting the canopy. It uses outdoor fabric to create some shade and rain protection and is the easiest way to cover your pergola. Hook the other end of the turnbuckle onto your screw eye and fasten the opposite end in a loop with wire clamps as shown above.

When retracted this diy pergola canopy tucks neatly away at one end of the structure. If you are never going to want sun on your patio then a diy stationary pergola canopy is probably the way to go. Add extra shade and style to your outdoor living space with a wire hung canopy system. I hemmed the edges as well.
