I was going to use a T bracket in combination with the L bracket but once I got the L bracket on I decided it was plenty strong, time will tell. This is a 2.5M x 2.5M or 8' 2" x 8' 2" awning and after putting it out it makes a nice covered area. I put it up alone for the first time and it took about 5 minutes, with help putting it away took 2 minutes. Very happy. While I have lots of little things to do I only have 1 task left before we can take it camping.... re-pack the bearings
It was a bit of a gamble on this awning but I saved ~$300 and It seems well constructed. All metal frame minus end caps which I consider a nice bonus based on what I have read about other awnings. It also has keter rails front and rear.
I have now started to look at graphics, any thoughts/ideas? I was eye-balling some distant mountain scenes or maybe some stripes. Probably boring black to stick with the theme but I did consider something to match my Truck, it's a red wine kinda red.
