Awning protection from door?
- Thread starter 6cuda61
- Start date
Chunk of plywood cut to hold the awning up and out of the way. I have
dimensions down in the coach. I am half in the bag and it is 93° outside.
It will have to wait till tomorrow.

My P.O. just screwed a small straight caster with a plastic wheel to the outside of the door. Not elegant, but it works fine and we don't even see it
anymore.

I also screwed a small wheel in a bracket to the corner of the door.
Prior to that I reversed the awning rail to put the groove at the top. This helped by raising the awning. I was able to use the same screw holes.

I have roller on door from zip dee.
But That is more of a backup. I use an angle grinder disk change tool. Had a few laying in garage and it fits and stays put perfectly between drip
rail and zip dee slat.

Well shoot! Look at that. Who would have thunk it! Neat use for an
otherwise useless tool. I like it.

A more complicated solution that we use, is a hand made device made from PVC that hooks to the drip edge on both sides of the door, and pushes up on
the awning over where the door swings. We only use it because we also have the screen door so it keeps it out of the way for both. If interested I
can post pics.

You should use the roller and a wedge as when one lowers the awning, it
will still touch the door.
We provide both, go to our web site.
