Re: [VACList] Carefree Awnings

["Gary Quamen" <g_quamen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Virginia:

The material I have looks almost like oilcloth.  It's thin and
hard-surfaced.  I'd be real surprised if they still make that. Mine is gold
and white stripes which seem to be the other commonly found old Carefree
pattern.  I think most people replace this stuff with Sunbrella fabric which
comes in an amazing amount of colors and patterns.  It is very durable
material which is used for sail covers and awnings that lasts for MANY years
exposed to the elements 24/7.

Do a Google seach for Sunbrella and you should locate some sites that show
the offerings.  Or get the Colors & Styles catalog from:

Glen Raven Mills, Inc
Glen Raven, NC  27217

Or go to a local awning maker and they should have all the info to show you.
They all use it I think.

OTOH, I have a number here for Carefree in CO.  Maybe they do still have the
stuff, who knows?
