There is no need for you to cut the wallet in order to buy expensive Awnings In Blacktown. All you will have to do is get the materials and follow the guide to build it yourself.

Below is a guide that will help you build window awnings for your home in Blacktown. 

1 Build a frame:
  • The first step to making an excellent awning is making the frame
  • For making a frame, you need:
  1. ½ PVC pipe shaped like T's and Elbows
  2. PVC cutters
  3. Cement
  • Visit your nearby hardware store to get all these requirements
  • You will have to measure your window's width
  • Only according to that measure, you can bring the pipe
For example: If your window is 5' wide then get a 6' wide frame for your window
  • The reason to go for getting 6' wide is that the awning canvas fabric is available in a 6' width
  • It is advisable to not make an awning bigger than this without more frame support structures
  • Do not use cement yet
  • Only dry-fit parts for now
2 Awning material:
  • The awning material is a 6*9' wide canvas drop cloth 
  • This is one of the cheapest canvas clothes that you will be able to find
  • As mentioned above, the 6' width will fit your 5' width window perfectly
  • However, you have to measure your own window to get a proper awning 
  • You can have a flap hang from the front of your awning
  • It is very pretty to look at these awnings swirling in the winds
  • This drop cloth should be formed an inside-out loop with plastic backing
  • This has to be sewed, you can do it yourself if you are good at sewing
  • If not, take it to an alteration place 
3 Slide the canvas into the frame:
  • Slide the canvas into the dry-fitted frame
  • You will now have to adjust the fittings to make sure the canvas sits perfectly
  • Mark the places with a pencil then remove the canvas now is the time you use cement
  • After the cement has been applied, slide the canvas back on top of the frame
4 Mount the top portion:
  • In order to mount the frame, you will have to use a carpet tack
  • You cannot use staple guns as they can not take the weight of the frame with the canvas
  • The thing with tacks is that they can rust
  • Hence, you can go for stainless steel tacks but they increase the cost way too much
  • You can also go for aluminium tacks which are comparatively affordable
  • When the canvas is tacked, hang the awning 
  • Remember, the awning should hang straight down
5 Check the angle:
  • Make sure the angle of your awning is correct
  • If you want to be looking outside clearly, adjust your awning accordingly
6 You are good to go:
  • If you follow these steps, your awning in Blacktown is not going to cost more than $20
  • Also, it does not take much of your time to complete this project
Follow the above steps to get some of the best awnings for your windows at the least price in Blacktown.
