Track for sliding canopy/tarp into.

Postby Dragonryder » Tue Feb 02, 2010 1:07 pm

Hello, I would like to have a canopy that would be easy to attach over my window and even my air conditioner to help with keeping the weather off of both. I need to come up with a track of some type to just slide maybe a dowel rod into. I thought about PVC pipe with a slot cut into it, but I really need for it to be D-shaped so that it will mount flush with the sides. Does anyone have any ideas??? I'd like to leave the track mounted and have the awnings removable. Oh yea, I would like to keep it fairly inexpensive. I have a long track for over the entry door that I removed off the pop-up.

Thanks for any ideas. :thumbsup:
Have a great day and hoping the weather is great no matter where you are!!!

Signed, Me

Curtain rails and hangers for RV's might do the job!

My boat has an aluminun track above the windows. The canvas has a cord sewn into the top and just slides into the track. The track looks like a C channel and works rather well.
