Awning?

We are looking for a new/used 12 foot bag awning. When we bought our Coleman the previous owner didn't lower one end and after 3 days of rain (Oregon coast...Does it rain there ha ha) it collapsed. He said it was fixed. All he did was repair the fabric but tossed most of the hardware. The cheapest I have found was around $350. Anybody know of a cheaper price or have a used one they want to get rid of?
Thanks

Jayco style awning poles and hardware can be replaced by any poles and rigging you can find at hardware stores. My rain/kids episode bent the main header bar. I looked around property and found a heavier gauge bar. Drilled 3 holes and then boom had a new hardware setup.

I've owned several popups and although we did make use of the bag awning that came with each one I found them generally more trouble than they're worth for any benefit gained and wouldn't spend the $$$ to replace one that had been damaged. These days we use an inexpensive Ozark Trail 10' x 10' canopy like this sold at WalMart here in Canada and the US.



Here in Canada it sells for $88 Cdn and comes with one attachable fabric wall so I bought 4 inexpensive 8' x 6' white tarps to make up two separate "walls" to enclose the other 3 sides when the weather is particularly cold and/or windy, hanging them from the frame using nylon cable ties. One person can erect it but with two it's a really easy task that takes only a couple of minutes and the result is FAR more stable than any bag awning. Here's a couple of pics of a test setup on our deck ...

I used my sailcloth sticher to repair my awning. First repair two years ago from epic snowfall that slid off the steel roof of barn. Next was lazy camping single dad and three kids. Exhausted from work and left it out during heavy rain. Down it went and ripped from bag and bead rubber.
$350 saved twice already.

We had a Dometic bag awning on ours. After an unfortunate rain/wind event from a couple of years ago, ours was destroyed. I didn't want to spend $250+ on a new one, so we ended up going with a pop-up canopy/awning from Academy for under $100

We rarely used ours. An EZ-UP or two was what we used.

Wow.....didn't realize they were that expensive. Ebay pop up awnings

Most are $350. I have seen $270 for bag and fabric and no hardware.
