Were there some directions? I remember seeing them somewhere online.....

Traveling overnight I don't use them unless I know its going to rain. Setting up where we are staying when only 2 days, use them.

I have several variations that I can build.

Emt steel poles Un painted.
Aluminum poles Un painted.

Emt poles powder coated black or white.
Aluminum poles powder coated black or white.

Brackets will be powder coated the same color as poles to match.




All holes will be pre drilled and poles will be ready to bolt on. "Less paint" if you prefer.

I will ship these anywhere in the lower 48

If your interested let me know.

ATTENTION:
When my current on hand stock of emt steel poles has been depleted I will only be making and selling aluminium kits.

I've only made a few sets of emt poles in the last few months therefore I'll be going to strictly aluminium poles and brackets.

The packaging was as impressive as the product! Wow, top notch item! There was NOTHING that was going to get scratched. I bet if you package Christmas gifts like that, kids would go insane! Ha

Severe storms went through Nashville shores today!
Awnings that got left out no longer live on the campers.


Except the ones with awning hold down poles.
