These days, most awnings in Melbourne are constructed out of
vinyl or canvas and, when cared for properly, they will last you many years. If
you notice that your awnings have begun to fade or have developed rips and
tears as a result of weathering, you might be thinking about replacing the
fabric.
Step 1: Measure the fabric that is currently inside the
awning. Determine the width by measuring from one side of the covering to the
other, being sure to include the sides. Determine the length by measuring from
top to bottom; add an extra 2 inches to account for the fabric rolled into the
mounting channel.
Step 2: Cut the fabric out of the awning in Melbourne,
leaving the material that is left in the mounting channel. Then, remove the
rope from the frame and slide the remaining fabric out.
Step 3: Take the new fabric and fold the top edge about an
inch, as this will form a crease that makes it easier to slide the material
into the mounting channel. You can then slide the fabric into the channel,
moving it all the way through so that the top is secure.
Step 4: Thread the rope through the frame in the same
fashion that the old one was, then place the fabric over the frame to form the
new shape. Tie the rope so that it has been secured to the awning and is kept
in place.
To ensure that you reattach the new fabric correctly, it can
help to take photos of the frame and the rope as you take it apart. This can be
a huge help when it comes to putting the awning burwood back together, as
you can use a visual to help you judge where things are meant to sit.
