Alright guys! i finally made a video that that follows the steps of building this 270 degree awning. Ive updated my design and its now 50% slimmer and totally eliminates the need to sew your own bag by using an available ARB awning bag for just $35! I hope you enjoy the video, thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed to the channel it truly makes it fun to share these projects!

(update) Awning weight is: 35.8lbs including bag and hardware

Here is the parts list:

Steel tubing: 3/4" - 1/16th wall square tubing ($10-15 per 20ft length at the steel supply. You will need 4x 7ft, 2x 7ft 4inch-

Steel plate: 3/16th or 1/4 inch steel plate, a 1x2 feet sheet should be enough. Try asking if the steel supply has a "rem" pile and you can pay for the pound. My local supply sells it for .50cents per pound and if you find 1x2 ft piece or larger it will be super cheap!

1ft of 1inch steel galvanized pipe. Im using galvanized pipe because the inner dimeter fits a skate board bearing perfectly. However you MUST remove the galvanizing before welding! its toxic!
