I need to build an awning for my teardrop trailer. Is this waterproof enough for a project like this?

I think it might be too light weight. It is waterproof but it isn't very heavy. It worked great for our wet purposes, but we didn't need for it to have strength to hold up under weight or pressure. Hope that helps. dhw

Mark,I have not yet installed my awning. The brackets will overlay, but if you have good solid backing behind the 4 inches you should be OK.

I think it would be great for outdoor use as long as it is sheltered by the rain. Otherwise, its pretty heavy...won't fly away in the wind. I use it on the inside of my slider, it works awesome!

Yes, it is definitely waterproof. I have had this exact model mounted on my 16' trailer for at least 3 years to keep the trailer winch battery charged, and it still works perfectly. I highly recommend this product.

If on dry ground it should be fine. If ground is damp, then you need a tarp

No this is too thick for an awning, but there is an awning tape that is very strong.

I believe that you can attach this awning just about anywhere. To attach it to your metal shed, I would mount securely a strip of wood to the side of the shed and then mount your awning. We attached the awning this way to the lip of our extended overhang to shade our small patio. Remember though this awning is for shade only. It is not waterproof.

No, it's not waterproof. Also, you might consider other brand the base of this lifter is not strong enough for even a light car lifting. The power is there but the base stand is just a sheet metal and lacks adequate reinforcement.

I purchased 2 of the tents, the tents themselves are waterproof.....with the rain fly....it just means you can open the screens on top without rain getting in.....I purchased both tents and rain fly.....I have gone thru some pretty rugged camp in....and I have not had any leak issues

Depending how high it is, it should be ok for you. Measure the height of your awning. It states how high (the carefree) is. Go from there.

I would think it would work well. However, keep in mind it is very sticky and will stick to about anything. Before you extend the awning I would clean the material off

Just guessing, but I expect it might work as a patch to stop leaking, but it's rubber so I don't think it would work to actually hold the awning in place. I had to replace my entire awning due to sun damage. It wasn't rather easy to do with a helper and there are lots of videos explaining how. I used this to cover all the seems and patch a couple places on my roof and it seems to stick well as long as you clean the area well first with paint thinner.

What sort of application are you looking to do? If you're looking to put it on a bus like I did, you might want to get different bolts/washers/nuts. The stuff that is included is more of a masonry/wood type of application.Also, another thing to note is that the awning does sag, more than what I'd say a typical rv awning does. If that is a probably you can look at propping it up, but for instance I'm not able to adjust it with the included hardware to a point where it goes at more of a 90deg angle from the bus.

It is not waterproof, it is like a heavy mesh or screen and intended to provide shade only. Look at fabrics for awnings, those are more like a canvas and are usually waterproof.

I suppose It would depend on the radius of the curve. The tab on the awning is flexible but the trim piece it slips into is not. Also, the legs that come with it are not flexible either. So I guess my answer is no unless your trailer has a straight run long enough to accommodate the rigid components. Otherwise it is a great awning. Sorry.

It is great in the rain. You will just need to monitor the wind situation as with any awning. In hindsight I wish I would have got the 8'x12'.

Our Handyman used a 2 x 4 cut to the length of the width of the awning and mounted that to our siding actually under the eave where it was going to go and it's sturdy and perfect. He didn't feel going straight Into siding would hold. He painted wood to match trim. Hope this helps.
