Awning Fabric Repair

[wgriswold]

My awning had a relatively minor argument with a tree and was scraped. The damage is through the black but not all the way through the fabric.

Is there a black repair tape or some other product to put on the damaged area?

Those work well. What works better is to replace the black fabric with a lighter color such as sand from Toughtop. I sure would like to meet the idiot who came up with the idea that a black awning fabric is a good idea. It's like sitting under radiant heaters when the sun is beating on it.

Toughtop Awnings are excellent. I went with the light grey abd it worked well.

Flex seal is a rubberized coating. You can buy it at most hardware stores. Easy to apply.

Google it. Flex Seal is available in black.

Scraped my Awning while it was rolled up. If this is the case I coated it with black flex seal right up to the track on the trailer.
It is flexible and works fine. I would not try to coat any unexposed area when it is rolled up.
