Anyhow, I want to replace, rather than repair (e.g. tape).
a) Have you personally tackled this before?
Yes
b) What type of 'fabric' did you choose and why?
Acrylic. It is more expensive, but it is breathable, which is important for us. We live in a humid area and our previous awning was vinyl, which is not breathable. It constantly trapped water while rolled up, and was very prone to mildew. It was a constant problem, even when put away dry.
c) Were you successful and, if so, what did it take to reach the end goal?
Yes, were where, but you will need at least two people. It takes a lot of pushing and pulling to remove and replace the material.
d) Is there anything else to share regarding this task (did I miss something)?
Check out Youtube. Lot's of videos there showing what's involved.
Thanks for your help.
