- Sailrite does not sew finished retractable awnings anymore, sorry. We show you how to sew one up yourself. This video tutorial is a guide for removing old, worn out awning fabric and replacing it with a new panel of fabric that you sew up yourself using Sunbrella Marine or Awning Grade fabric from Sailrite. Retractable awnings are a great addition to any home or building but the fabric does wear out over time. Refresh those old awnings with a new fabric panel that you can sew up yourself following this video tutorial.
This video shows how to remove the old awning fabric, pattern and sew a new fabric panel, and install the new panel on the awning frame.

Perfect instructions, sewing right now, happy to have a new canvas . Looks great and only cost me $ 155 to replace. Thank you
Very nice, I was shopping around for new canvas for a job for my cousin's house. I think I found the place. Thank you for your detailed vid.
You are welcome! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks guys,
I'ma disabled navy vet who built my own camper on my 2002ford f250 and been screwing vynle tarps to the side with ropes. For an awning. And due to makigonly 875 a month I can't afford to buy a setup so I gotta make these kinda things my self.
Your video is clearly and we'll done all the info I need to replicate this awning is there
I'll email ya what I come up with .
Can you guys do custome design fabrics such as logos or different kinds of patterns
Sorry, we just sell the materials and tools for DIY. We do not sew up custom canvas.
Learned a bunch. Thank you.
How do you deal with needles gumming up when sewing over basting tape ? Because the needle will gum up after sewing few stitches!!!!
How to calculate the resistance such that the arm don't spring out when the awning is retracted?
Deb, You're a craftsman!
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Lionel Boston I watch on flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Matthew Dakota yea, been using FlixZone for since april myself =)
@Matthew Dakota thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !!
@Lionel Boston you are welcome =)
I noticed what seems to be a mistake in the fabric measurement. At 4:50 in the video. Intead of 4 1/2 ", You would need 9" of additional fabric to measure 3x 1 1/2" hems. I noticed it when I saw Deb measured 2x 3"spaces between valance and the main.
beautiful :D
Where can I purchase the attachment?
CANOPY SIZE
113”X242”
Hello, I have an old Arquati retractable awning. The length of the frame:
A-Side 1: 242”
B-Side 2: 113”
The original canopy was 200”X120” and had six panels sewn together. I don’t know how long the original fabric was on but it lasted about 3 years with me repairing it. It might’ve been over 10 years old. My question is that I want to sew a new cover after I replace the second Amazon 10’X20’(not near the ordered size) Aleko camper canopy which last about two years before it starts to wear. I saved the old fabric to make toolbox covers and for training before purchasing your fabric.
Would it be better to get smaller sections to increase the strength against the elements like wind and rain or less sections? I haven’t measured the original seams but I’m not sure which one to pick to increase the strength.
I have the Janome HD1000 industrial sewing machine which might be an issue when sewing over 10’ or more. I watched your UA-cam videos and learned a lot.
What would be your suggestion, no matter what I will not return the items when purchased. Thanks Reggie
Hi Reg, If you use a Sunbrella Marine Grade fabric you should get at least 10 years of life from the new awning fabric. I would build it to the original size 113 inch projection and 242 inch width. If your sewing machine can sew about 5 to 6 layers of blue jean material then you should be able to sew this Sunbrella Marine Grade fabric. Let me know if you have any more questions.
I had to remove my retractable awning for a roof replacement. I have reinstalled it and would like to purchase a premade retractable awning shade from your company. At this moment I have too many other projects that I don’t have the space or time to sew a the panels together. Area “A” of the roller is: 242” with 1/4” space between the ends. Area “B”of the opening distance of the shade is 120.” I can limit the distance the shade travels. I want to purchase a solid Coffee Brown shade. Thank you
