I will not be making any alum poles until late Feb or early Mar of 2016. I do have attaching bracket kits available now and you can make your own poles.

This is Pics of our (Pre Coot Support Poles) the (OC mounting Top Pc) makes them (Self storing) My poles are made from (Truck Bed Cargo Poles) All the Adustment Holes are (Already in the Poles/Plus the Steel rubber coated Foot is also on both ends! Remove (1) support foot and go to (Lowes/HD) and buy (1) SS shower Rod that fits in side the Cargo poles! The SS shower rod is needed for (Additional Height?) for Your application, in my case I (Intentionally cut one SS rod 6" short) Our entrance door will Rub the Awning if Lowered on the Door side,so we ONLY Pitch it one way! Our Poles are VERY smooth in Operation and Fit and VERY Few holes to Drill as the Cargo Poles have Factory Holes every (2")! Youroo!!

Better get 'em while they last, only 20 of the 26 sets left and we just finished them yesterday. Doubtful if I make anymore until we come back from FL next year. I am one tired old man.

The crank handle broke off, and I've looked all over for the lense and viewfinder..... film is real costly.

The long awaited
new awning controller showed up today, 3 legged horse, so tomorrow I'll try it. ps; just found rotary dial phone and it also has no film...... If Nashville hadn't sold out already, seeing how the dh retired yesterday, we'd head that way. The race calender has been kind, so far, this year.

I made them out of (Schedule 40 PVC Pipe),then milled the slots after cutting them into. This was my Original setup,but when OC came up with the (Top Brackets) I converted so I had (Self Storing) supports that are Very handy if you Travel and use your Awning at Different Locations! Now if you just need support (Yes we ALL do) at a (Seasonal Site) the PVC Cradles might work for you? Support Poles are NEEDED for (UP and DOWN) Protection of our Elect.Awning! Youroo!!
