Can you sew directly to the shade cloth or do you use some sort of binding?

So, how exactly does the optional factory installed awning work? Does it need the poles staked out with rope or is it free standing? All the pictures I've seen it appears to be free standing. This back yard option looks TERRIFIC! A job well done.
I have pictures at home I can post later.
The factory awning you use a crank to have it come out. After it is out a ways you pop out the legs that are in the leading edge and extend them down to help support the weight. Then you finish cranking it out all the way or where you want to stop. Then adjust the legs for the height needed.
As far as the legs you can use rope to keep the ends down in some amount of wind.

Found a photo with our awning set up. This is the awning FWC was installing in 2004. I assume it has not changed. It has legs that fit inside the unit. After you extend the awning a couple of feet, you unfold the legs and drop them down. Then you finish extending the awning.

I can't believe, with all the camping I've done, that I didn't know how those types of awnings worked. Thanks so much for the information.

Thanks for the photos, I do like the look and function of that awning and just may considered spending the extra money when the time comes.

There was a Shady Boy post a while back and they looked ok too.
Now I just need to get out and use the camper.
