[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 420157, member: 10304"] Ok, getting back to my concept: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10304/1529964921_gutter.jpg[/img] You start by fitting a small strip of galvanised steel to the main awning roller using countersunk rivets (1) this will only be required for an aluminium roller. Now get a piece of waterproof fabric (red) and fit a few rare earth magnets to one long side (2), these grab onto the gal strip on the roller, you then roll up a short way so the awning fabric covers the magnets and helps hold the fabric in place. Now work out your fabric width, probably easiest with a narrow strip, by fitting the gutter clips from free range camping before gutting the full sized piece, then with the excess fabric cut a series of tails and fit rare earth magnets to them making sure they are the right way round, the positions are not critical as you have the long gal strip, these tails then hold the gutter up in the right position to catch the rain. This will create a series of open areas between the magnetic tails where rain can fall into the gutter. Once off, the gutter will fold up into a very small package, though the magnets might make things a bit interesting. :mad: No velcro, no damage to the existing awning and a gutter that takes no space. :) [/QUOTE]
