This awning, dodger type thing has literally saved our pale white butts, and continues to do so. Cruising without permanent sun protection is something I will never do. It can be brutally hot. This setup is out of stainless tubing for the supports and 1/4inch plywood for the cover. It works brilliantly to mount our solar panel on top, surfboards and other hanging goodies below. I also added two drains at the lower corners, so, when it does rain, I plug a hose in and fill up the water jugs, nice right. Well, Willow has not seen a drop of rain since we left San Francisco about a year and a half ago, but it will work, I am sure.
