After getting a quote to make a 90% shade cloth awning for the off side of the van- full length in case we need patrol cover if in a hail storm. Priced 3.6m wide at Masters- $14 /metre so that means I can make it for under $100 when we would have been paying close to $500. Will have to get someone to put the eyelets across the bottom though. Sail track probably going on to-morrow. Double battery box is going to be $500 made & fitted.

To stop the eyelets popping out of the shadecloth you need triangle lether patches sewn in and then the eyelet punched through them, that's the expensive bit.
We bought black plastic clips that fold over the shade cloth and lock together, folded the shade cloth along the woven edge and locked them on, then linked keyrings through those, worked very well. Another Bunnings thing, in the shadecloth area.

Sounds good Terry thanks for the tip.

In the last few weeks . I've had to replace my mains pressure valve, toilet cassette, under sink water filter. And add a wingman to my Wineguard.
Better doing them as they fail or start too, rather than let the jobs and price of parts mount up. And end up being a prohibitive amount.
All on the pension and or limited income would know that any extra amout out of your fortnightly pension makes this a little more difficult. But rather do them than have it mount up.
Next big purchase, my diesel heater

Kay,

We've got one of those eyelet kits.

Then, if you use ours & Dot's simultaneously, you could be the Dux of the ambiduxtrous - both hands at the same time - class.

We have checked all this out at Bunnings now just have to convince that BBA I am capable of sewing said awning. Sewing stuff is one thing that has not yet been packed away.
